Allie's Story

"I couldn’t get out of bed in the morning. I felt absolutely exhausted and overwhelmed. I could hear the baby cry and I just wanted to crawl into a corner and cry."

Debbie's Story

"I got Post-Natal Depression with my second pregnancy."

Jane's Story

“One thing I really feel now is that having been through PND, I’m a better and stronger person.  I’m more aware of my myself and the experience has given me the confidence to face up to the fact that I’m only human and things don't always go as planned.”

Sophie's Story

“It was so incredibly hard and I felt like giving up many times.  I don’t even know how I got through some of the really bad days, but somehow I did.  I reached a point where I became determined not to be beaten by this damn illness; I deserved happiness and my family deserved a happy wife and mother!”

Rachel's Story

"Now that I am “well”, it is difficult to remember the thoughts and feelings during my darkest times.  All I can recall is that I truly believed that I would never be happy or content again." 

Tanja and Mark's Story

“I found difficulty with the demands of a newborn.  No sleep, constant crying and a lack of time for myself.”

“I kept telling myself that I can't have depression.  This was supposed to be the most beautiful time of my life.  He was supposed to complete me.”
