Mommy Be You

How can depression take over your whole day? Yesterday was rough and it could be just being a stay at home mom being with your kids 24/7. It tends to get stressful and us moms need time for ourselves and it just feels like I haven’t gotten any time for myself. Im a very strong person and I’m just a go go go, very hands on type of mom and I tend to bottle stuff and let it all go when I’m really down and Iv been trying to overcome that.Its hard to explain to my husband what I’m going through cause women feeling’s is different to men’s feelings and us women go through so much feelings.

I’m trying so hard to be strong for my kids cause they mean so much to me but there’s that part of me where your just worn out and that depression tends to come in to play. Yesterday in a long time I had a panic attack and I rarely get those but this week was rough. Iv barely gotten to spend anytime with my husband cause he works a lot and plus I don’t go anywhere without my kids and I rarely go out. I think the only time I get me time is when I go get a pick up order from a store haha.

When I’m down I go to my husband cause he’s my best friend and I couldn’t live without him. He has such a positive out look on life and just letting me know that everything will be okay and that really helps me with my depression and anxiety. I’m happy my husband is always there to calm me down. He has taught me so much on how to be positive and seeing the good in everything. It sucks that I still struggle a bit with postpartum depression but I’m trying to fight that by being positive and sharing and connecting to other women who struggle with this.

Even if no one sees my blog post it’s good to just type or write it down cause it just feels like your venting and afterwards it feels good. You don’t have to write it down just do what will get that weight off your chest but staying positive doesn’t mean you have to be happy all the time. It means that even on hard days you know that there are better ones coming. Keep your head up and keep going.
