This is what many people who haven’t suffered PPD or severe depression don’t understand. It’s not logical or rational. You can’t look around at all the positives in your life and convince yourself to no longer be depressed. In my own experience, this actually made it worse, because I just felt guilty that I had a supportive husband, wonderful child, nice home, etc. and yet still felt so, so hopeless and horrible. Thank you for sharing your story, we do need to fight the stigma.
