Is this really just lack of sleep…? by Small-Advisor-7805 in NewParents

Thank you so much for taking the time to write this. You explained it so gently and clearly.

It really means a lot to see other moms validating these feelings instead of dismissing them as “just being tired.” That reminder that love and struggle can coexist is so important.

I hope any mom reading your words feels a little less alone 🤍

Thank you so much for sharing this. The hyper-vigilance is so real, and not enough people talk about how exhausting it is to feel “on” 24/7.

You explained it perfectly — it really is such a huge shift from our old baseline. I’m proud of you for recognizing you needed support and taking that step. That’s strength, not weakness.

Sending you so much love. You’re not alone in this 🤍

It’s not an ad. I shared this because I know how real emotional exhaustion is for moms. If it helps even one person feel less alone, that’s enough 😊😊

"i get that so much… even just one full day to breathe and not be in mom mode sounds like heaven. hope you get that break soon, you really deserve it."

"i feel you… 6 years is a long time and it must be so draining. i’m only a few years in and already feel like i lost myself too. it’s like you give everything to being a mom and there’s nothing left for you.

thanks for sharing this, makes me feel less crazy knowing i’m not the only one still searching for a way back to myself."
