Mental Health Check-In

The past few months have been….interesting….to say the least. There really is no words to describe what has been going on in the world we live. The world feels like it is crumbling apart most days. I won’t go into the gritty details but I have to be honest with myself and with others. Finding happiness is not easy in life. When you live in a mind full of crazy thoughts and anxiety it can become maddening.

We all know there is this HUGE stigma on mental health and helping yourself. Asking for that help can be even more exhausting. Finding answers and resources will about kill you. Things I have learned over the past few months is that everyone is struggling and most are doing it in silence. For me to hop on social media and paint this picture of my amazing life can make me a bit of a hypocrite. I had to admit that it is ok to not be ok.

So here I will just come out and say it…I am taking Zoloft now and I have started weekly therapy. If I can’t be honest with myself how am I honest with my followers and other moms who may be struggling right along with me. Women and moms deserve to hear about “normal” people requiring mental health help. Just like I share about my physical health I want to also share about my mental health. To be the best mom to Elliott I must take care of all aspects of my life.

I know we are all going through a weird time period right now but I want to encourage you all to ask for help, validate your feelings and know it is ok to not be ok. We always want the world to think we have it all together but that is the farthest thing from the truth.
