โFor whoever is where I was: I was right where you are two years ago. My baby is 4 months and I do not feel what I should, and I couldn't see past it. Some weeks I don't think about it at all. xโ
โTo whoever needs this: I was where you are in 2022. I remember when rage I did not know I had, like it was yesterday. I've started painting again. It comes back so slowly you don't notice until one day you do. From someone who gets it.โ
โFor anyone new to this: Two years ago, that was me. Back then it was not sleeping even when the baby sleeps. Now I sleep most nights. It changes. It really does. Be gentle with yourself.โ
โI was sure I'd never feel normal again. I was wrong. I wrote down what I wanted to say before the appointment because I alwys freeze. Keep going, even slowly.โ
