Mom burnout

Tag a mom to let her know shes doing amazing

After my second baby my postpartum rage, anxiety, and depression got the absolute best of me.

I was a TRAIN WRECK. I had no help, no support, husband constantly traveling…

I was diagnosed with adhd and I couldn’t take medication (breastfeeding) so i inew i had to do something about it!

For the last 3 years ive been working on recovering from burnout and sharing the journey 🤍

Mom burnout affects many mothers, often manifesting as overwhelming feelings of anxiety, irritability, and fatigue. It's essential to acknowledge these emotions and seek support to recover. Many women experience similar feelings after giving birth, especially if they are managing ADHD without medication while breastfeeding. The journey towards recovery involves understanding that it's okay to ask for help, both emotionally and physically. Connecting with other moms can provide valuable camaraderie and support. Engaging in self-care practices like mindfulness, regular exercise, and setting boundaries can significantly alleviate stress and aid recovery from burnout. Additionally, discussing these challenges openly helps in breaking down the stigma associated, making it easier for mothers to find common ground and healing together. Reach out through social networks or support groups, and remember that you are not alone in facing these struggles. Empowering one another and sharing experiences not only fosters understanding but can also lead to improved mental health for all moms dealing with similar issues.
