VENT: (no advice needed) I’m so not proud of how I’ve been today.

I’m so disappointed in myself. Today has been just too much. I’m entirely overstimulated & overwhelmed. It’s truly unnerving realizing how much your own parents fucked you up. I have bpd & autism, (I wasn’t diagnosed with autism until 23) so there’s some c-ptsd thrown in for good measure. Even when I thought I was in a stable place before deciding to have my son, a lot is resurfacing and I am sounding like my mother when I get anxious and my anxiety quickly turns to anger because that’s what I was immersed in growing up, my entire life. I don’t want to ruin my son. I don’t want to scare my son. I want to be good. I thought I was. I thought things would just keep getting better. But it feels like I’m doing nothing but regressing.

Give yourself grace mama. This is HARD!! That you care and are worried means you’re doing better already. Having a rough day over here too so even though it may not be the same, I get it. Overstimulated and overwhelmed and snapping at my oldest and partner and so much crying and rocking I’m tapped out! Hang in there, we can do this one minute at a time (telling myself too) ❤️

@Nicole I just know my son deserves so much better than I’m capable of being sometimes. And I hate it. And I dunno what to do. When I try to take supplements and meds like doctors say, they start working but my schedule gets entirely fucked with because I have a toddler who’s growing and changing everyday, so like they aren’t actually helpful anymore it’s just causing more tiredness and more issues Sorry I guess the vent is wasn’t done Hahahaha i do appreciate knowing I’m not alone 🫶🏼🫂

Please message me you have no clue how much I understand the mom guilt is real and it’s unbareable sometimes

Please don’t be so hard on your self this is not easy

You’re not alone, I cry all the time because I feel like my son deserves better and that I don’t deserve to be a mom. My mom used to “rage” when I was a little girl and I still remember when she would snap. Acknowledging the problem is the first step, you know it’s not right and you’re working on it. We’re human, not robots so we have feelings and we get stressed/over stimulated. We just gotta learn how to cope with it in a healthy way. I tried taking medication and i just constantly felt like I was in a haze so I decided it would be best to seek therapy or just deal with it in a healthier way. It’s a work in progress but I’m trying.

(286. (God) Allah burdens no soul beyond its capacity) Its a part of a verse from chapter 2 in the quran we read it daily to avoid this feeling Wish you the best

Tomorrow is another day. Keep looking forward and you will see improvements over time:)
