In this debut memoir, Courtney Novak shares her journey through the darkness of postpartum depression, postpartum anxiety and postpartum obsessive compulsive disorder. She describes her symptoms, including insomnia, guilt, and intrusive thoughts about throwing her baby. Courtney shares candidly how difficult it was for her to realize she had a maternal mood disorder. At four months postpartum, Courtney finally found the courage to talk to her obstetrician and voluntarily admitted herself to the hospital for psychiatric care. Four days later, she was discharged and felt like a new woman - but her recovery had just begun. Over the next several months, Courtney worked with a psychologist to untangle her postpartum anxiety and OCD. She connected with moms in her community and learned that by sharing her story, she could defeat the shame she had initially experienced from having a mental illness. Although this memoir describes the darkness of postpartum depression, Courtney's story is ultimately uplifting and inspiring. If you or a loved one have been touched by a maternal mood disorder, this book will help you understand and process the experience.
