It’s certainly not depression.
It most resembles anxiety.
It’s bubbling just under the surface.
A sort of knot in my stomach.
A lump in my throat.
A consistent reminder that something in my brain is broken.
Capable of ruining everything at a moments notice.
So far so good.
I’d like to keep it that way.

hugs, friend. xoxo

My youngest is 5YO, so I’m beyond the post birthing brain, however I know *lumpy* anxiety. Sounds like you’re hanging tough. Hang in there. You’re not alone. š

Wish I could reach through the interwebs and hug you and just nod and say, “You’re loved. You can do this.”

Man, we are a bunch of messy, lumpy and bumpy people.
Glad I’m not alone, but wish you didn’t feel this way either.
That makes sense, right?

Casey, I just want to say thank you for sharing this side of yourself. It really gives the rest of us that are scared to do it guts. I know you certainly made it easier for me to talk about.
Thanks….Shannon

Been there too. Stays on the edges now with the right meds. Anti-depressants and x.a.n.a.x as needed keep it at bay most of the time. You see it. You tell people. You reach out. You can keep it under control. Sending light.
