✨Moms struggles ✨

✨ “I am a mom of three and I am not afraid to admit that…” ✨

Here are 6 things I’m not afraid to admit about my relationship with my kids:

1️⃣ I don’t always enjoy every moment of motherhood — and that doesn’t mean I love my kids any less.

2️⃣ Some days I’m surviving, not thriving, and that’s okay.

3️⃣ I get overwhelmed, touched-out, and mentally exhausted — even while being grateful for my kids.

4️⃣ I need help sometimes, and asking for it doesn’t make me weak.

5️⃣ I’m proud of the mother I am becoming, even if I’m still a work in progress.

6️⃣ Motherhood changed me — and I’m allowed to miss parts of who I used to be. Motherhood is not perfection — it’s love, growth, patience, exhaustion, laughter, and endless learning. And I’m proud of the mom I am becoming every day.

🌸 If you’re a mom watching this, drop a comment and tell me one thing you’re NOT shy to admit. Let’s normalize honesty in motherhood.

Silent Struggles Of High Functioning Depression
High-functioning depression is hard to spot because it hides behind a smile. You show up, get things done, and seem fine—but inside, you’re battling exhaustion, numbness, or hopelessness. Just because someone seems okay doesn’t mean they are. Check in on your strong friends. 💗 #mentalhealthawar

Struggles with Prayer and Overthinking.
I have a tendency to overthink things. I could simply say “Hi” instead of “Hello” and think about it for a week. I fail to be present because my mind is in the past. I also have a tendency to overthink my prayers. That they aren’t good enough. That God won’t hear me. I think about praying in fron
