"In my deepest, darkest post-partum depression, I would have personally never called a phone number," Chrissy shared on Twitter following the news of chef Anthony Bourdain's suicide.  "If John or my doctor never reached out, I would have never even known. It really can be a lonely hole. Watch the people you love and don’t be afraid to speak up."

She added, "Obviously not everyone is me and the hotline is incredibly important."

Chrissy went on to talk more about her PPD, which she's been candid about in the past. "I just always thought PPD was the feeling of wanting to harm your children, and I never ever thought that way," she replied to one follower. "Big cases like Susan Smith made it seem like THAT was PPD. I was just so deeply sad with myself and feeling worthless and useless and helpless."
