Raise Your Hand If You Did NOT Have Postpartum Depression

While looking up something else (I can't even remember what) I came across this breaking news:

Gwyneth Paltrow Suffered From Post-Partum Depression

And this is breaking news....why? Most women can tell horror stories of their post-partum depression: my personal favorite is when my best friend from college hallucinated a chicken walking across her living room.

Most are not that entertaining, though--most women's experiences range from not being able to get out of bed to not being able to sleep at all, from worrying obsessively about their babies getting hurt to worrying obsessively about hurting their own babies, and then everything in between.

However, I have not yet heard anyone describe their expericence quite like Gwyneth did:

"I didn’t know I had it until after it was over."

My heart goes out to her.
