I don't know about motherhood or PPD from personal experience, but I know depression, mental illness and psych meds. And I know about people telling you that there's nothing wrong with you, you're just not trying hard enough, in a tone that suggests they genuinely think they're saying something helpful and reassuring.
And I know that sharing our stories and listening to other people's stories is powerful.
