In this exclusive interview, Lauren Matthias sits down with a mother who experienced terrifying intrusive thoughts and postpartum psychosis—and lived through symptoms strikingly similar to some of what Lindsay Clancy has described. What do intrusive thoughts actually feel like? Can you recognize that the thoughts are horrifying and still be unable to make them stop? And what happens when postpartum mental illness progresses to the point that you begin losing touch with reality? She shares her deeply personal experience, the warning signs she now recognizes, what was happening inside her mind, and how she ultimately got help. As the Lindsay Clancy trial raises difficult questions about postpartum psychosis, intrusive thoughts, hallucinations, and criminal responsibility, this conversation offers something the courtroom cannot: a firsthand look inside the experience of a mother who has actually lived through postpartum psychosis and survived it.
