Struggling

Yall… I’m really struggling… I’m not enjoying being a mom. I feel terrible saying this but I need to say it, I am not enjoying life. I understand we’re supposed to go through some difficult times, our kids will stress us out, and there will be some frustrating days… But I feel like it’s every day. I feel like the moments of happiness or joy that I do have do not outweigh the others. I’m just extremely unhappy and I needed to get this out. 😭😭😭

Pray to Jesus help you

It’s so hard, having to find yourself after having a kid has been one of the most difficult things. Do you have help around you? Have you made mom friends? I can tell you I moved to a new area after giving birth and felt so isolated but I made just one friend here and it changed my whole outlook. Not to say it’s not still hard, but having someone there who gets it. Also, therapy, I swear by it. I’ll recommend it to anyone and everyone. I’m sorry that you’re feeling this way. I hope the days get easier for you.

I understand this completely. It can be very challenging especially with our hormones still jumping through hoops. Reach out to a therapist and maybe psychiatrist. Our brains work significantly different now than before pregnancy. My inbox is open if you ever need to talk.

It’s okay! It’s okay to not be okay! It’s okay to tell someone you’re unhappy. It’s okay to be on medication for depression. Coming from a person who DENIED medication for years, it helps. I hated waking up every morning to have to take care of my child but God gave her to me for a reason and now I know that reason… because I needed her. You’re gonna be okay, mama. Talk to someone if you need to. My DMs are always open! I’ve been where you are!
