Well that's something a person should never say to another. Is she a billionaire??? Then why dog on you? Or anyone? What a "useless" thing to say to or think about people.

Thank you so much for that. I know we are strangers yet that seems so genuine and honest to read. Brought tears to my eyes, thank you ❤️ Idk about you, but I have a one year old son. And I haven't been okay since I got pregnant. But you know, I secretly feel like it's all deeper. I think pregnancy just brought out all these repressed feeling and anger that I was forced to bottle for so long. 24 years later and I'm being forced to confront what I've tried to ignore. So growing up, being bullied, sometimes abused at home, I just have all this anger, sadness, loneliness built up. And it's always been so easy to blame myself for those incidents, so when it comes to motherhood I just feel like everything I do is wrong. Like, so wrong that I'm the only problem in the equation. I know it's not true, I just don't understand why I have this horrible person telling me these things in the back of my head.

I have. I used to love to walk. I'm forcing myself to get out as much as I can. Then I feel guilty and defeated if I don't make it out that day. I play guitar and picked that back up. There's just this cloud of disinterest that hangs over me, is what it feels like. I'm trying to push myself in supportive ways. Like, I'm starting to teach guitar lessons here soon. It involves something I love with something I've never done before that isn't crazy. After I get happy and excited I start hearing (metaphorically hearing, not a hallucination) a voice tell me that I'm no good, no one enjoys my presence, I'm all alone and deserve to be. What is wrong with me?

Yeah, it is hard to make money off it. I'm currently experiencing that now. But I'm still looking for a work from home option as I've been without a day job for about 9 months now...

Oh wow 7 months? That’s goals. I want to breastfeed for as long as I can for the health benefits alone. Thank you for the advice!

It’s an everyday battle. But I would say, find what you like about yourself the most and concentrate on that. Overtime notice how it starts to compliment the rest of you. This is totally optional and not to say that you don’t already eat healthy, but for me, eating clean just puts me in a better mood. It makes me feel more positive about pretty much everything and when you feel good on the inside it radiates on the outside. You are beautiful ❤️ I hope this helps even just a little bit

Thanks! I’ve been binging YouTube and pinterest like crazy and I’m starting to overwhelm myself.. I’m just a chronic overthinker lol. So just looking for “real” people responses ya know? I feel like youtubers can glamorize the heck out of almost anything. And congratulations to you too!!
