A client who wrote up her story for me to share with others ended it this
way:

"Where were the stories that could have prepared me for this ordeal?
Everyone had told me their labor stories, so I knew my labor, while
difficult, was "normal".  But my friends didn't tell me their nursing
troubles because, they said, if I knew how hard it could be sometimes, I'd
never have tried.  Yet more stories would have kept me from feeling so alone
in my journey.  Perhaps my story will help you.  I escaped postpartum
depression;  we could all do without the lactation blues."
