My Thoughts on Dear Scarlet The Story of my Postpartum Depression by Teresa Wong

Oh my goodness, this is such an important read. I’m so thankful that Teresa Wong created this.

I have a few friends that have experienced postpartum depression, and I wish I had read this earlier so I could both try to help more and recommend this book to them if they were feeling up to it.

While I can’t personally relate to the postpartum element, I can certainly relate to the depression and sense of hopelessness.

Here are some of the warning signs:

This account was just raw honesty. The author didn’t shy away from the darker elements.

The artwork was a lovely element to the overall creation of this. The art was simple, but very powerful.

My Favorite Passage from Dear Scarlet The Story of my Postpartum Depression

Never be afraid of your feelings. Although they may overwhelm you at times, there is a strength that is born out of weakness.
