I have a new poll up on the main page of Out of the Valley.  I am curious about the impact of the holidays on postpartum mood disorders.  In the past, I have had more contact with hurting moms around the holidays.  This is purely unscientific, I am fully aware!   

In my last blog post, I discussed some coping techniques for getting through the Thanksgiving Holiday and this morning I posted an article on Out of the Valley expanding upon that theme to include the entire holiday season.  I would love for everyone to answer the poll and then add some of your own ideas for coping here as a comment.

The previous poll was about how well the church supported women during postpartum stress.  I’ll have a blog post up soon about that.  Stay tuned!  In the meantime,  I hope everyone has a wonderful Thanksgiving, and I am always here and available via email for support and prayer.  tara (at) outofthevalley (dot) org.
