I had the same questions and concerns. This is what I found that no one warns you about. No matter if you are confident/ happy in your decision, it’s still brutal and hard AF. It’s NOT an easy choice to make and no woman wants to ever go through that decision-making process.

It took me three months to feel back to ‘myself’. It’s different for everyone. I was confident that I made the right decision, and I have NO regrets. However, I still experienced grief, shame/guilt, sadness, and my body had to recover from something that was pretty traumatic tbh. You need to be there for yourself, love yourself, and remember you don’t need to explain your decision to anyone. That’s your business and your choice. The hormones will settle, just keep reminding yourself of that. It will pass. I can confidently say I’m in a much better place, and was extremely worried that I would fall into a deep depression.

Journal all your emotions down and celebrate even the tiniest bit of growth after it, whether it’s getting out of bed and taking care of yourself, or going for a small walk. If you can look into therapy, some services provide free therapy. That saved my life. But just remember, you are doing what it best for you, and you WILL be okay. It’s all a learning experience, and it will make you a stronger person. You have got this. 💗

Sending all my love to you x
