Stress
If your here to judge move along. I have been extremely stressed out financially but also mentally. I am almost 4 weeks pp and struggle with ppd. I started medication last week and see a therapist weekly. Nonetheless it’s been very hard. I may have to go back to work sooner rather than later which is making me feel 10x worse. I have debated on rather than going to my formal job going back to stripping as it’s a higher pay and would let me be out of the house much less. Although my husband doesn’t want me to and I can understand why. I also started smoking again at first just one cigarette every two days and I’ve already had two today. I feel like a bad mom and am constantly stressed out. Not sure what to do at this point but I just needed to rant.

I totally get wanting a job with flexible hours that makes good money. Have you thought about Only Fans? I wouldn't be able to get a job knowing it was upsetting my relationship. OF puts a little distance between you and the person paying you.
As for the smoking, I feel that! I tell myself all the time that my kid wants me around longer than this cigarette will make me feel better. Finding healthier coping mechanisms is important. Like going for a walk or reading a book. I saw a necklace the other day that's designed to imitate the feel of smoking/vaping.
You are not a bad mom. Bad moms don't worry about being bad moms. Stress is unavoidable today. But we have to find ways to cope otherwise the stress will start to have health impacts.
