I’m at that point of post partum that no one seems to tell you about.
Where you can’t seem to look yourself in the mirror cause you’re not happy with what you see.
Where youre beyond exhausted, hair a mess, spit up on your shirt, and you haven’t showered in a few days.
You’re disgusted with yourself and start to wonder if you’re doing a good job cause it feels like you’re failing terribly.
You’re scared to take a moment for yourself cause you know as soon as you do the baby starts crying again.
So you become stuck, feeling like you have no time for yourself.
You’re gross.
Just going to shower won’t fix it, it’s deeper than that. How are you supposed to explain that to your s/o ?
How do you explain that you need just a little more love right now because you’re finding it difficult to give it to yourself ?
