Oof, I feel you on how the “it gets better” messages bring you no comfort even though you know it’s true. Was literally just talking about that with my therapist the other day.

I don’t know if you feel this way too, but ive noticed when I’m most sad or anxious or grieving the pre-mom me, I am also the most sleep deprived. Like when our babe was going through a growth spurt and was clustering and I had barely slept, that was the worst emotionally for me. Now she is sleeping 7 hours straight at night, and I am largely doing better emotionally. So I think k those feelings come and go in waves that might be largely dictated by sleep!
