The Sad Moms Club: Personal Story Submission 
Hey friends, this is the place to submit your personal experience of a perinatal mood and anxiety disorder, infertility, pregnancy loss, or infant loss. I ask for your information, so I can contact you in the future, but we can keep it anonymous if you would like.

A few things:
1) If you are chosen this time, I will keep these entries and may reach out in the future depending on how this first episode goes. You can always change your mind if you are not ready to share.
2) For the sake of professionalism, please no names if you had a bad experience with a provider. You're welcome to rave about your provider (doctor, therapist, prescriber, PT, etc.) if you had a good experience though!
3) Try to frame your story in such a way that would have been helpful if you had heard it when you were at the beginning of your journey. 

Thanks for taking the time to fill this out! I can't wait to meet some people more personally.

Your story is enough and you are enough regardless if it is selected for this first round of interviews. 

Please go to https://www.postpartum.net/ or https://maternalmentalhealth.utah.gov/ if you find you're in need of help right now. If you are experiencing an emergency call 988 or go to the nearest emergency department.

Which perinatal mood and anxiety disorder(s) and/or experiences are part of your story?
Please write your story in the space provided below. I recommend writing it elsewhere first and then copying it in the space below. 

You can also give me a shortened version here to give me an idea of the story with a more fleshed-out one to talk about on Zoom if selected.

Some questions to get your thoughts cooking, though you don't have to answer all of these:

What symptoms did you experience that clued you into a potential problem?
When did you start thinking you needed to reach out for help?
How did you find help? What was helpful and what was not helpful?
What skills have you had to implement to start feeling better?
Who were your support people through this time?
What advice would you tell your past self? What advice would you give to someone who is at the beginning of their perinatal mood and anxiety disorder?
