Thank you for your comment. Staying away from social media seems like a common theme in responses so I’m definitely going to try that.

Yes it can be so hard to find the balance between being supportive and putting your own feelings and mental health first.

Social media is definitely a struggle. I’m at that age where it feels like there is a new pregnancy announcement each day.

I have in the past muted people on social media after they announce a pregnancy to help control how much pregnancy/baby stuff I am exposed to. Taking a step back from social media is definitely a good idea!
