Oh i was thinking about you the other day. I read an article somewhere, like a midweek newspaper thing or something and I was thinking hmm hang on this all sounds familiar and then I clicked it was you!
Good on you for writing your story and being so open about it all, I bet your courage has helped so many people realise they are not alone. |

Yay! Congratulations! I need a new book to read! After going through post natal depression twice before and if we are lucky enough to have a baby #3 then I'll be going though it again so I can't wait to read it and have it on my bookshelf for a bit of extra hope when I need it. ------------- http://lilypie.com">

i saw it, you did really really well lou, and your husband sounds like he really cares about your happiness a lot.
I think its great that you had the courage to share your story with the public, doing that is never easy,and im sure women out there who may be struggling with pnd at the moment will have got a very positive, hopeful message from it tonight. well done, you should be very very proud of yourself

| Lou - in a good way, you made me cry! I had almost forgotten that your story was going to be on Campbell Live, so was very glad I caught it in the end. You are doing a fabulous job, and I am going to buy a copy of your book as soon as I can scrounge up the cash. |

I watched the show, so glad it was a day later as I missed Campbell on Monday. I think you and your hubby are so brave for talking about it publically and I think you will be an inspiration to many women.
Is sad that there isn't enough resources out there to help women, am gonna write to my MP about it. (That and the state of CWH  )
