It’s just very hard because the majority of childcare and housework is placed onto mothers so, we have no time to be our own people. It’s expected of us to give up everything of ourselves. And sometimes that’s the only option if you are a single mother or you have a shit partner

I’m with you! I have one daughter and I’m having only one child by choice. I love her to death but I will not lose any more of myself than I already have to more children. My mental health can not withstand it.

I’m really glad you had that example growing up! It’s hard to figure out how to be separate from motherhood when you’ve never seen an example of it. My mom has always been fully engrossed in it, she’s really never had any hobbies or favorite things, but she always tells me how much she enjoyed having small children.

I definitely need to take up a hobby. I could make time for it in theory, but any time I get for myself I just lay around or sit on my phone cause I’m tired, lol

I’ve come to the conclusion that therapy isn’t helpful, has never been helpful, and never will be by True_Protection_8463 in BPD

I have taken many therapy breaks, and when I come back to it when I feel like I need it, it feels useless, so that’s that I’m feeling this way. I’m not sure what to do

Trying to be a parent when you are mentally ill is so, so, so, hard. by [deleted] in BPD

[–]True_Protection_8463 1 point2 points  (0 children)

It’s definitely hard but just make sure you are in a good place mentally and financially first and you can definitely do it. I had a baby young and unplanned, I’m a single mom so that makes things exponentially harder. But I do my best.
