What It’s Like.

When a mother brings life into this world, no one ever warns her of the beastly plague that so mendaciously preys on so many of us.

It is like a never ending tsunami of

Never feeling worthy enough,

Never feeling good enough,

Never feeling normal enough.

The mind will play tricks on you.

It will make you feel incapable.

Incapable of raising the precious lives you were blessed with

Or caring for yours.

Feeling like God made a mistake when He chose you to be a mother.

Wanting nothing more than just to disappear and never look back.

Maybe even,

To die.

It is viscious

It is cruel

It is suffocating

It is torture.

Every day is a fight to survive,

A fight to stay alive.

For many of us.

Too ashamed to get help,

It will swallow you whole.

It is never wanting to get out of bed

Living life in a daze

It is suicidal thoughts

It is paralyzing, always.

It is like every bone in your body breaking into a million pieces.

Over

And over

And over

Again.

It is worse than death.
