You know what really fucking gets me is how society paying this whole like perfect picture of mothers and like How we're basically the backbone and we have everything like all the way down on our shoulders And but we're still supposed to get through life or we're supposed to you know Be the woman of the house and this isn't like just this whole perfect picture of mothers But really we're fucking struggling I know I'm not the only one who struggles every single day Who struggles with their mental health who struggles with emotions who struggles with their motivation and it's just like I feel like when we try to I talk about these things, we get constantly judged. And it's like, I myself, I haven't seen a doctor. I'm two years postpartum. I haven't only seen a doctor for my mental health because I worry of stuff that could happen. You know, like the repercussions of me opening up and talking to them about my real thoughts and my real emotions. I just, I don't want to risk putting my child at risk and losing my child. And I think that's one of the main things what I keep my shit in. But also society painted this whole picture of like, you know, mothers are supposed to be able to hold it in, like, you know, not have these emotions, not have these thoughts, not have these feelings, because then they're deemed as bad mothers.

Yes, oh my gosh, I totally feel you on this and it's been a draining, emotionally weak for me. I work from home trying to build a business, take care of my toddler all day and it's like totally normal to society yet I'm like going crazy and I'm like, hello, does anyone not know this is like, shouldn't be normal? It's like so hard. So I feel you. I agree.

yeah it's tough being a mother and working a full-time job. Gotta take care of the house, the meals, laundry, the kids, the job and then everybody else thinks we should take care of them too. Moms have it pretty tough, it's pretty stressful. All I can tell you The youngest, hang in there.

I totally get it it's draining and it's like if you ask for a break they like or will you have a break all day long no we don't we are constantly going 24 seven and I am myself behind on doctors appointments as well

I think it's valid to feel those emotions to feel overwhelmed to feel stressed out because there is a lot you know that one has to do especially as a new mom when when things are you and you feel like never been in it before even if you have two or three kids it's still a lot of work it's even more work that's why I always encourage for women whether they're my friends or clients that I have because I do a lot of health coaching for moms who get to that point of burn out and emotional stress is to make sure that you have a support system

Because when all of those emotions and all of that stress is bottled in your not only causing more emotional and mental stress for yourself but it also starts to wear down your physical body and your families going to feel the ramifications of that both short and long term and so it's really really important to have a reliable support system for me I'm really grateful that I have that but I didn't realize the significance of that until I was at that point of burn out so I would encourage for you to do the same when possible

I'm totally with you on this because it's frustrating to try to talk about how we actually feel and how to explain it because we love her kids we love it all but at the same time shit is so fucking hard man I never ever even thought about having kids when I didn't have kids it was a huge newsflash I've never had any kids in my entire life like around me I literally never ever had a baby until my own baby so It was a big list

I am so sorry because I relate to you so hard my kids are adults now but I had to hide my OCD problems for years for that same reason I was just so afraid that if I got myself help that I would be deemed like insane and lose my kids and like it's just not fair all the pressure is put on moms and like my ex didn't pay child support and the government did not care the only time they would care is if I would've gotten welfare because then they want their money back so it's impossible but hang in there

I saw this video on TikTok recently and it was a mom basically saying how we as you know stay at home moms or even a regular mom should be blessed to be able to sit home with our kids and well yeah obviously like super lucky super blessed here but yeah obviously it's gonna be stressful I know it's not it's not easy by any means so yeah I mean

I think about this so much and it's like I don't know if this makes sense but because of the picture of society is painted I feel like what I do isn't enough like in my head I'm like oh yeah I just stay home with a kid all day and like society thinks that the things that that's literally all we do so I feel like asking for help or you know just having a little bit of a chance to complain sometimes people take it to heart like I don't know how to explain that

But like in reality we are just staying home with the kids like we're literally keeping this kid alive we get up and we don't sit down until we go to bed like literally we do so so so much and sometimes I'm like you know I don't really know how parents that don't have like one person staying home actually do it because there is actually so so much to do but I definitely agree with you like the picture that society has painted for moms is ridiculous
