the way depression completely destroys my memory and my concept of time is crazy

[cocoabutterbabe]

I am 30 but only remember the last 12 years well, most everything else is murky.

[cocoabutterbabe]

still can’t believe that I’m a mother and that I made this sweet little boy.

I haven’t been depressed since I gave birth and it’s the most beautiful and surprising thing.

I have been cycling in and out of depressive episodes for 20 years but i haven’t had a bad day in 3 months. Every night, I worry that in the morning, it will have faded. I’ll wake up heavy, unable to leave the bed, lost to despair. But it hasn’t happened. Every day, I wake up to the most beautiful boy looking back at me with my eyes.

30 & getting finer

[cocoabutterbabe]

transitioning into parenthood is jarring.

i’m mentally aware that I am totally responsible for this beautiful little person, that i’m someone’s mother, but i also feel like i’m cosplaying.

i’m literally thinking ‘what would a mom do’ as though i’m playing some temporary role.

I wonder when it will feel more real, when who i was will completely give way to who i must be.
