I can’t be alone in this. Something about this time has been so... triggering. I’ve been navigating a lot of random self-hate that seems to come out of nowhere.

I was online shopping this morning for new swimwear to try - and I found myself on a swimsuit website that I haven’t shopped from since I was newly postpartum with Emaline. As I brought up the homepage, an overwhelming wave of sadness came over me.

Last week I tried on 6 pairs of jeans before finding one that I could zip.
Two years ago me: Total spiral into self hate, punishment, and either starving myself or bingeing. Triggering further shameful thoughts about not being good or worthy enough to “stick to a plan” or “take care of myself”
Today, I’m going to share the top five things that are helping keep me grounded during this time, and hopefully you’ll find them useful in your own home life!

I LOVE having depression and anxiety - says no one ever.
It’s taken me a really long time to realize that I even had anxiety & depression, and I truly feel that part of that is due to the stigma around mental health.
Snapped this a few weekends ago. We’re a mess. But these are my people. 🖤
Last year I started stepping away from conversations surrounding anything other than compassion and love for others. I decided that I don’t have the time or energy to spend on people who wouldn’t do the same for me. But this has been my whole life... searching for...
I fought it for so long. I thought if I started medication again (after being on it for 8 years, then going off for 5) I’d be admitting to being a failure.

✨ I have an inbox with several messages right now questioning diet culture. 👉🏼👉🏼👉🏼👉🏼 it’s so easy to get caught up and confused in the anti-diet movement and until you’ve REALLY navigated through the layers of your own self it can be super confusing. It still is for me sometimes.

{CW/TW: diet & disordered eating} I just did something I could have never imagined I’d have to force myself to do.
I just went to the grocery store and made myself buy food that is easy to make, and food that I know I will eat. Food that I’ve avoided for so many years now that I felt like I was committing a crime as I paid the cashier.

Mental health update: I’m sharing this publicly because it’s important that we
break the mental health stigma.
After a month long bout of deep depression, having no desire to eat, and other things... I am honestly feeling amazing this week.
It’s #worldmentalhealthday 🖤 I’ve always been stubborn, and I’ve always been a hustler. I thrive off of productivity and accomplishments - most of the time. But honestly? There are days when I can barely get out of bed. No one knows it, not even my family... mostly because I have kids and that’s quite frankly not an option.
So I push through. And I make it happen on the bad days. And it’s exhausting.
#deardiary // This was me yesterday... happy. But today... it feels like I’m fighting my way out of a deep dark hole. Last night, a wave of depression came over me but I wrote it off as coming down with something and went to bed early.
