Heavy metal load

What has helped you to get through your days? It’s such a mental struggle being at home with two small children. The endless chores, constant cooking, never ending mess on top of lots of crying and redirecting. A year ago when I had my second I fell deep into PPD and have not been able to climb out even with therapy and meds. I feel like I’m barely holding it together while heavy thoughts food rather be dead keep following me around.

i’m always here to talk<3message me anytime. prayer really helps me when i feel low, or leaning on my husband/family. do you have any family or friends that can support you? what about activities to get out of the house? watching a show at the end of the day with a sweet treat is so helpful to. things to look forward to. small joys.

Routines take a lot of mental pressure off of your days. You don't have to think 'what do I need to do right now?' and be faced with 10,000 options, you just flow toward your next activity dealing with the small disasters along the way. I also put a whiteboard in my kitchen so I could write out stuff I remembered but couldn't get to right away. It's also where I put the chores I want done for the day, and I get a lift from crossing them off as I go. In the thick of it, I wrote out procedures for prepping my stroller and packing a bag. I actively try not to keep stuff in my head. Removing the daily clutter can give you more space to process the big, important stuff that is boiling over from the back burners.

On a deeper note, the world is better with you in it. You are irreplaceable. ❤️ This is a season and it does not have to be the one that defies you if that's not your choice. You will have more time to be you. If you are in the wrong relationship, you can move on. Now is not forever.🌈

i started romanticizing my life. prioritized my appearance. if i look good then i feel good and the rest follows. started my content creation journey. i do nails so it makes me happy knowing i put a smile on other women’s faces. just find something for you to do outside of being a mom &/or wife. blessed to have a mom who comes over every week to clean and watch the kids for me while im either cooking or cleaning as well. be easy on yourself, you’re literally doing 5 jobs in 1. you got this, plz be kind to yourself and don’t be afraid to ask for support. message me if you ever need to talk💕

Sex drive Vent

I am 10m pp and I hadn’t had any sex drive until now. I NEEEEEEED it.

I have one person I really think about but our schedules never align. We drove to me one time while I was baby free and we kissed and I swearrrrr, I almost jumped in his lap.

I don’t wanna seem desperate but lowkey I am for him though.

We talk here and there. I let him know my baby free times and left it up to him to lmk when he is free because his work schedule is crazy and I’m not always baby free but I often find myself hoping he will message me. He has messaged me a couple times to see what I’m doing so he could come and pick me up but it’s usually at awkward hours.

All I can think about it when we used to sleep together and how good it was 😭😭😭

I would be open to meeting other men but I don’t really know how.

Idk I just want a wild sexyyy night.

Thanks for reading😭 feel free to lmk what you would do in my position.

Serious friends?

Anyone actually want to try for a friendship, cause it seems that either no one responds back or I’m just not everyone’s cup of tea 🤷🏼‍♀️. I’m a very open and honest person so TMI doesn’t exist.
