IKEA Toy Kitchen Makeover! My plan is to eventually make this more functional for my toddler. Such a fun and easy project! ❤️
It has been through humor that I have been able to keep pushing. I share this because maybe me saying something may make the next mom not feel so alone and isolated. I thought at first ok well it’s just my hormones adjusting I’ll be better in a few weeks and then a few weeks turned into a few months. It’s been hard internalizing these feelings because it’s never talked about much, it’s feels shameful almost which is not ok.
I started feeling this terrible anxiety and depression around when I was 8 months pregnant, I guess going to appointments alone and feeling so isolated caught up to me at that point. I just kept pushing, be strong Alex it’s almost over! Fast forward a few months after having Luna I felt all over the place but I still managed to at least get dressed, fix my hair or nails or do whatever to pick me up, then that changed. Now it takes a lot of strength to do any of these things. I have to really hype myself up and just do it lol The most challenging thing has been finding the proper resources for postpartum mental health. I mean the dr gives you a damn piece of paper to fill out and then a couple of pamphlets and then off you go. This is f**ked up and it angers me that you feel you have nowhere to turn. Then most people always ask how’s the baby first in conversation. Make sure to ask mom how she’s doing, most of the time we’ll say we’re fine but really ask us how we’re doing because a lot of the time we aren’t fine. We’re tired, we need to take a breathe and most importantly we need to feel we have support, a person or people we can talk to. I can’t tell you how lonely it can be sometimes. I’m navigating through all of this and taking baby steps each day to feel better. To my mommas, I see you,
🤣🤣 sometimes it be like that. I’m effing tired! 🤣 #momlife #momlifeisthebestlife
