(KUTV) Kyrstin Garvin's life looks "picture perfect" in many ways.
But Garvin has also struggled with deep depression and suicidal thoughts.
"It just hit me," Garvin described. "Even my closest friends had no idea."
After Garvin gave birth to her first baby, she had a serious case of postpartum depression.
"Getting out of bed was impossible. A lot of times I would lock myself in my bathroom and I would just be crying for hours, and my husband would have to come home from work and be with the kids," Garvin described.
She finally got help through counseling and medication after five years of battling the depression.
Then about six months ago, she decided to start "Inspired by the Positive," a film project where she tells the inspirational stories of people from all walks of life.
