It sounds like an easy choice,
but sometimes it's not. I, like many others,
couldn't trust my brain to tell me the truth. And what's worse... I couldn't tell anyone
what I was going through. What would people say, if I told them
what I saw and felt? -They'd say I was crazy.
-[shutter clicks] -They'd call me a monster.
-[shutter clicks] Maybe they'd even try
and take Elizabeth. But I'm not a monster. I'm a mother,
like so many others, who went through
some serious postpartum shit and can't even talk about it. We keep our mouths shut
to avoid judgment. So we won't be labeled unfit. We ignore our own health
to keep this deadly secret. But sometimes
people need help, too. -[phone vibrating]
-And, God, do I wish it was easier to ask for. Talk about a perfect world. Hey, girl
