Don't get me wrong: I'm not hesitant to write this. I think it needs to be said and the world needs to know (can I get some newsies singing over here?), but it's all a little scary to admit.
Read MoreWhen I went to my first counseling appointment, I didn't know that postpartum OCD was a thing.
It quickly became not just a thing, but my thing.

This doesn't happen very often (I'm, um, not a morning person), but it happened today.
So I'm writing it down.
Read MoreHoly cow, you guys. This month's Stitch Fix box is my favorite yet.
