We will adapt.

I would like to use my story of postpartum depression, psychosis, anxiety and OCD after the birth of my first child to help women who are drowning.

THRIVE

What will your life be like in three years?

I will have the physical strength and life in me to stand on my own two feet for more than five to seven minutes, and I will have done a fruitful TED talk on Postpartum illness. I’ll have an organization for women with severe postpartum mental illness.

I will not have a recliner in my living room. I’ve sat long enough.

I will still be married to the love of my life.

I will have finished and successfully published my books.

My Isaac will not be impeded or afraid by his Autism. He will feel at home in any crowd and escape the hate of bullies…but reach out to the friendless.

My Joy…I want her to THRIVE.
