BROOKE SHILDS IS SENSATION SHE IS PRETTY WOMAN AND SHE IS INTELLIGENT TOO IF BEAUTY AND MIND GOES TOGETHER THEN SOMETHING NEW HAPPENS THERE THANKS BROOKE SHIELD KEEP DOING GOOD WORKS BYE FAN OF YOURS ARIFJAVID

This message is in hopes that Brooke reads it. I want to tell you how incredibly brave you are for speaking out about post-partum depression. I had a baby last July. I also suffered from post partum depression. I was prescribed Zoloft as well as Wellbutrin. Thank God. It made a tremendous difference in my life. I had some of the exact same symptoms as well as varied ones. I describe it myself, as an emotional overload. One minute you are pregnant, the next you are not and your life has changed so tremendously so fast. I cried all of the time. I knew that I loved my baby so much that I would run out in front of a bus for him without thinking. However, I thought, what if I were crazy? He is so small and helpless. What if I hurt him? I could hurt him so easily. He trusts me, do I trust myself? I also know and am commending you because I was afraid to tell my husband or my mom or anyone the thoughts that I was having. The thoughts that were going through my mind were so disturbing. I felt like I was possessed. I thought that they would think that I was a lunatic. I was so ashamed of myself. I was afraid that they would take my baby away. I was afraid to be alone with him. I was overprotective though all the same. I did not want anyone to hold him or even look at him. I envisioned him being dropped or hurt. I knew that I would take my own life if he was hurt. Anyway, I really did not intend to write such a long note, but thank you. That is the reason I was ashamed- Because NO ONE ever talks about it!! I seriously was so so scared. Another point I want to bring up is that Tom Cruise has absolutely NO right to say ANYTHING about you and your business! What he said infuriates me. He seems to have this attitude like, I know everything and if you try to disagree with me I just can not handle it, you are a "glib." O.K. My religion taught me to be accepting of differences. Honestly, I do not know a whole lot about Scientology, but the impression I am getting is that maybe he is not making the rest of them look that great. I do know that all of the other scientologists have rushed to his outspoken aid. My biggest thought is A) What the heck business is it of yours?! and B)Maybe you yourself have not done the research. I have, Tom and you really need to mind your own business.

Brooke has nothing to feel bad about .Cruise is just a loud mouth .In 1970 I had severe postpartum depression and because either there wasn't medication or the doctors I saw just didn't know how to deal with it,I suffered for six years .No,not everyone can take Paxil but when you feel like I felt it's better to try anything or your baby could grow up without you .You'll either be hospitalized or commit suicide .Brooke wasn't promoting the drug she was promoting hope for all the women who have no idea why they feel so bad . God help one of cruises wives if they ever suffer with postpartum depression . Cruise should stay out of female problems , he obviously doesn't understand women .Lynn
