Lynsey's Journey

Before becoming a mother myself, I felt that as an ER nurse I knew all of the signs and symptoms of postpartum depression and anxiety. I also witnessed first-hand how women suffering from either or both were treated when they shared their true feelings and thoughts with a healthcare provider. After the birth of my 3rd child, I soon became a mother who perfected hiding behind a smile while battling a traumatizing emotional battle. I was truly terrified of the judgment, stigmatization and treatment I would face if I shared everything I was thinking and feeling as a postpartum mother.
