MY PND ARTICLE IN DAILY EXPRESS TOMORROW

[lazytown]

Hi there my name is Joanne Stickney Im 30 and have a 4 year old little boy called Oliver

I just wanted to let you all know that I have bit the bullet and shared the story of how I have battled with Post Natal depression for 4 years with the Daily Express newspaper and its going to be printed tomorrow in the health section I believe (18/9/08 - unless some major news storyhappens between now and then). I am hoping that if I can help just one person to realise there is nothing at all to be ashamed of and there is light at the end of the tunnel then my cloud will have a silver lining. Please be assured that this was not easy for me but with the help of this fantastic web site and the support of my husband I have managed to share my warts and all account with anyone that wants to read it.
I hope it helps someone
love
Joanne

Hi Joanne,

Well done you sadly I brought the paper the wrong date and missed it but just wanted to show you my support. I have tried to look online to see it but I can't find it if you know it I would be really interested to read it.

I too put my story out in the media and it feels a bit scary but you will have helped so many women and raised awareness of how horrific this illness can be

take care
