"What I needed was a community of women to support me - just like in giving birth. I was birthing my new self, and I needed guides, helpers, angels. I was filled with thoughts of me as the villain, hurting my baby. I cannot emphasize enough how painful these thoughts were and how I knew I was absolutely not capable of hurting my baby. I adored my little girl. I now understand the pain of mental illness. I feel so much compassion for those who suffer. After all, if you have a broken leg, no big deal. But if you have a broken mind..." -Erin, 41, Musician, New Mexico USA Excerpt from "The Mother-to-Mother Postpartum Support Book" by Sandra Poulin
