On May 1st i gave birth to the most beautiful boy in the world. I gave birth at 4:48am, by that night i realized i most likely had post partum depression. Post partum suicide is one of the leading cause of death in post partum women. A statistic i could have easily become because post partum depression is not talked about. No one brings awareness to it and my goal is to change that. A woman should never feel like she is going to be shunned for having post partum.

Postpartum Support International's Climb Out of the Darkness is the world's largest event for raising awareness of perinatal mood and anxiety disorders, while raising money and building community.
