One thing I have learned over the years when it comes to my mental illness, and living with my PTSD and GAD, is that healing comes in waves.
Just as my depressive episodes tend to come and go, depending on any number of factors, healing is the eventual next step in the process.
But for me, and for many others out there, healing has to be a choice.
I’m gonna be brutally honest with you. Motherhood is hard AF.
Never in my life have I experienced so many new challenges and hurdles when it comes to attempting to raise a “perfect” child. It seems like you can’t get through one phase without another one slapping you right in the face (or drooling over your face – Thanks, kiddo!) There are so many stages your child has to go through to develop into a little human being – the newborn stage, the infant stage, the shit-my-pants-three-times-a-day phase; all relevant to healthy brain (and bowel) developments, but also learning experiences for mama.
