Introduction

My name is Cynthia and I am a survivor of Postpartum Depression, a photographer, a wife to a great husband, blessed mother to my daughter and step-mother to my step-son.  Four months after giving birth to my beautiful baby girl I had a breakdown and it happened as fast as turning on a light switch. I was exhausted and overwhelmed and thought it was natural feelings after having a child. However, I dreaded the moment my daughter would wake up because I had no choice but to start my day and I didn’t even want to get out of bed. That I knew was not normal. Not uncommon but not normal. With the help of my husband, my brother, my friend Michelle, some great Moms I had recently met and wonderful professionals I quickly got on the road to recovery. I had to take one minute at a time. The thought of one day at a time was too daunting. The road to recovery is constant with numerous twists and turns. I am now reaching out to others to hopefully make an impact in their recovery.

I am working on a book project and looking for women who would like to share their stories.  If you are interested, please let me know. You can email me and we can discuss it further.

Thank you for your support and I wish you much love and happiness and looking forward to our future correspondence.
