For a little while, anti-depressants might be your best bet. You will have to be on them for at least 1 year before you come off. Hang in there and keep going to therapy! It gets better

You are strong and will get through this - even though you don’t believe it. Keep with therapy - it’s a marathon not a sprint. Also when you find yourself troubled, practice mindfulness. The biggest little thing I am doing now that has really helped to center me is to think of what I am sensing right now - think of your 5 senses. What am I hearing, seeing, etc. really helps to pull me back into the present when it’s easy to get sucked into everything else going on in our lives. I hope it helps you.

Welcome to our pre-k inclusive classroom. Even with 8 students, and only face to face for 4 hours, we struggle. We struggle being heard through our masks. We struggle with social distancing. We struggle as we find ourselves constantly reminding students to keep their masks on. We struggle to keep them engaged and to teach. One thing we do not struggle with- building connections and showing out love for each child.

We’ve been TTC for 7 months now. I was 10 days late for my period, took a pregnancy test 3 different times in the last week and all negative. Reading online i learned that i could be pregnant and just need the hcg levels to build up for a positive test. But last night, I had the worst cramps and now have light bleeding, and some clots 😭... this whole process is such an emotional rollercoaster.. has anyone else had a similar experience? I think this could be an early termination but not sure.
