Today was a hard day. I haven’t cried so much in weeks.

Last night I had a panic attack. They aren’t uncommon anymore.

I thought I had things under control… but mental health is complicated. Under control doesn’t mean it stays that way. You need to keep working at it. You need to remember that you matter – something I am not very good at.

Social media shows the pretty sides of life.

I often fall into that trap.

But the reality is that everyone is struggling with something.

For me, pregnancy has made everything feel so much more. More intense, scary, worrying, angering … low moments that should be fleeting end up overwhelming. Today was that kind of day.

Hopefully tomorrow will be better.
