People don't often talk about how you lose your identity after having children.
How you struggle to manage and balance your time.
How you struggle to take care of yourself, because you always think of your children first.
How you lose your self esteem and confidence.
How you body shame yourself, but are not motivated enough to do anything about it.
Or how sensitive you become when it comes to your body image.
How you struggle with loving yourself.
Pregnancy and motherhood not only changes you physically, it affects you mentally and emotionally.
Nobody tells you how to navigate through this time. Maybe there's no real blueprint. Maybe we are still battling all these things, even at different stages of parenting.
Nobody tells you how, when you look in mirror, all you see is a mom and a wife. You don't see yourself.
Everything that makes you happy pertains to your family.
I don't see myself, I'm trying to rediscover myself. I want to feel like myself again.
I'm just sharing because I know someone can relate.
Resonates
This resonates with me and I didn't recently have a baby. Sending you love and healing vibes. You are such an amazing human, I am sure when you SEE yourself again, it will be stronger and bolder and brighter! Sounds like you know you are in there, you just need a breakthrough!
