Postpartum has been rough on me. I’ve always have had anxiety & have developed depression from it ever since I was a kid. Casual things that happen when you grow up with traumatic things constantly around you. I started going to therapy when I was 5, stopped and started going to therapy through out my life, ate the special gaba vitamins, go on the longest walks ever, think “positively”, everything. Then pregnancy happened & now Postpartum. The drastic changes in hormones & my body literally looking like a foreign object to me giving me the most body dysmorphia I’ve ever experienced in my life has sent me in a spiral. It’s been so hard because I’m finally having my life I’ve literally dreamed about & I’ve been hit with such deep emotional pain. So, I’m finally gonna start medication for my anxiety & depression. I’ve been really nervous to even try medication, but I’m feeling brave & confident about it solely because I feel safe with my doctor. I’m writing & sharing this for all of my friends who are giving birth or have given birth. It’s ok to not feel 100. Don’t be ashamed of hurting, you just freakin gave birth to a human being. If you ever need a bud, I’m here. • #postpartum #postpartumdepression • Portland, OR • Winter 2023 (at Portland, Oregon) https://www.instagram.com/p/Cp8ezoZPqq1/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=

Daisy got to meet some of her cousins while we were in Medford. *so grateful for Jeremy & Mera & all the bbz.

5 months of my squish being with us on this side of existence. Daisy is always smiling & seriously loves going outside (must have gotten that from my mom). She loves her little puppy stuffy that @roxyhorrorpictureshow gave me in 2020. Had no idea it’d be my kid’s favorite toy 2 years later lol. We love our Daisy 🥹❤️ • Medford, OR • Winter 2023 (at Medford, Oregon) https://www.instagram.com/p/CoXl9rgJPHA/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=
