@shiftybroccoli Thank you for your work on this.
I think a really important point to put...somewhere is when to seek professional help for PPA/PPD and a list of resources. Baby sleep is a huge trigger for my PPA and I have heard/read similar stories from IRL friends and internet strangers.
I'm not sure exactly when that is, btw, it's different for everyone. But maybe a sticky about obsessive thoughts or feeling desperate and some quick suggestions on how to handle in the moment (usually CBT techniques help me the most) followed by a list of places to find help.
Also, not sure how to phrase this, but can we try not to assume that everyone reading is a she/her Wife with a him/his Husband? There are many different parenting situations, the non-gestational carrier can get PPD/PPA too, etc. Using inclusive language in any evergreen content will hopefully encourage everyone to feel welcome and get some damn sleep
