I just watched the video and am coming back to say, Wow, Mindy, you are very strong. Having to go through PPD four times is more than I can imagine (having been through it once and deciding that one child was enough because it was so devastating). Good for you for coming through those episodes in your life. And I am sorry about your baby, that brought tears to my eyes ... again, thank you for this important post and for your openness.
