Any other moms been diagnosed with Postpartum Anxiety?
I have.
Some days it’s worse than others but I’ve learned that running off the stress and anxiety helps decrease the worry and can put things into perspective. Disclaimer: I am NOT a runner. I’ve just learned to enjoy it.
Moms need breaks too. It doesn’t have to be running but I highly suggest finding something that is just for you!
While being alone with my music, I try my best to clear my mind completely! I deserve it and so does my husband and kids!
I started my business and my blog How 2 Mom not because I’m an expert, but because I am just like you!
I am a mom trying my best to raise kind humans and create a life for my children so they can have the best opportunity to be happy and contribute to our society and make a difference.
I have just chosen to share my life with the hopes that I can help moms in whatever way they may need. I created How 2 Mom because I needed a community too. I needed to find support and an outlet with others who understood the difficulty, the beauty, and the complexity of motherhood.
When I was diagnosed, I was caught off guard. I thought I was so ready to be a mom after nannying for years and I had everything I ever wanted. But I often felt overwhelmed and I didn’t understand why I sometimes felt sad. This is what makes postpartum depression and/or anxiety hard for others to understand too.
I was treated for my anxiety and made a lot of life changes to help me manage my symptoms. I still have nights where I lay in bed over-analyzing my parenting and worrying about my kids. I sometimes still feel overwhelmed, especially after welcoming the twins, but it is far less than before!
I truly believe it is because of this community and a few of my family members and friends that I have more days without anxiety than with.
Thank you for allowing me to share my experiences with you all.
I love sharing my tips and tricks and still plan to do so, however my main purpose and mission is to share my story and my truths.
