“This might sound like a woe is me story, and perhaps it is, but the real purpose of writing this is not only for my mental health but because I know there are parents out there reading this right now nodding their heads and hopefully feel seen. I want you to know, I see you."⁣

I never wanted to take medication. Asking for “help” for depression and anxiety was literally the last thing I wanted to do. But after exhausting all other options, it was my only choice.⁣
⁣
I can only speak for myself, but I would imagine that most people who take medications to manage their mental health don’t really *want* to take them. I didn’t dream as a little girl of growing up to take pills. This wasn’t my aspiration in life. But it’s REALITY. And it’s what many of us HAVE to do.⁣
⁣
I used to feel the need to justify all the reasons why I needed to take medication to preemptively combat other people’s judgement. I felt like I had to prove I really “needed” it.⁣
⁣
What I know now is that there is no shame in taking medication. What other people think about it is their problem, not mine.⁣
⁣
I’ve had to have several adjustments over the years to what I take, adding Wellbutrin & Buspar to my ride or die, Lexapro.⁣
⁣
I’d be lying if I said I was happy to add more medications to my list. I’ve never been “happy” about it. But what I have been is hopeful.⁣
⁣
Medication gave me the ability to hope again, to see the light at the end of the tunnel. They gave me enough of a boost so I could function in my daily life, the strength to sift through different issues in therapy, & the motivation to learn how to better take care of myself.⁣
⁣
Am I fixed? Am I cured? No, and I may never be. But I’ll never stop trying to improve my mental health so I can give my family the life they deserve.⁣
⁣
Meds are a tool to help me do that.⁣
⁣
Sometimes people make remarks that imply medication is a shortcut for people who aren’t trying hard enough and/or that I get some sort of “high” from antidepressants. Nothing could be further from the truth.⁣
⁣
I take medication because I have to, and not because I want to, just like the majority of others who take medication for their mental health.⁣
⁣
It’s your life, so do what you need to do to live it to the fullest! You don’t have to keep suffering because you feel like it’s your fault. ❤️⁣

"Earlier that morning, I had made peanut butter and jelly sandwiches, changed diapers, and asked my husband to take the kids to daycare, knowing I wasn’t going to make it that far.⁣
⁣
I had paid my bills, washed the breakfast dishes, and written the note I’d rehearsed in my head, eloquently lamenting on the milestones I’d miss, knowing I wasn’t going to make it that far."⁣

Dear Mom of Littles,⁣
⁣
I know the rush of getting everyone up and outta bed and bums on pews on Sunday mornings.⁣
⁣
Breakfast will end up being biscuits and raisin boxes and juice bottles.⁣
⁣
Someone can’t find their shoe.⁣
⁣
The parking lot is full so you’re now hurrying pairs of tiny feet two streets down.⁣
⁣
A quick reminder about behavior and the promises of pancakes for those that act right.⁣
⁣
You’re late—again. The service has started and now you are hushing and shushing your little troupe to the only pew that’s free, right up front.⁣
⁣
You sit down finally and take a breath. You came to be filled with the Spirit and to nourish your family's souls, but you are exhausted. And for a moment (or two) you wonder if it’s worth it . . .⁣
⁣
I want to tell you my dear sister in Christ—it certainly is!⁣
⁣
“Then God blessed the seventh day and made it holy, because on it he rested from all the work of creating that he had done.” - Genesis 2:3⁣
⁣
No matter what the week has thrown your way,⁣
⁣
No matter if your handbag is full of candy and crayons,⁣
⁣
No matter if they’re in their Sunday best or jeans and crocs,⁣
⁣
No matter how tired you feel on Sunday mornings—keep on heading to Church.⁣
⁣
Take everything—⁣
⁣
Your anxieties,⁣
⁣
Your sins,⁣
⁣
Your hopes,⁣
⁣
Your weariness,⁣
⁣
And your babies . . .⁣
⁣
Take everything you have to Church, lay it at the foot of the cross, on the day that He made holy—and rest.⁣
⁣
Sundays are not meant to be a chore, sweet mama.⁣
⁣
Church is not meant to be tough.⁣
⁣
Our loving Father wants you to come and rest in His arms. You are his beloved. He delights in you and your bouncy, noisy, giggling children.⁣
⁣
Keep on taking them to Church mama—even when it feels hard.⁣
⁣
Keep showing them that we need to keep running to Jesus—especially when it feels hard.⁣
⁣
Sunday mornings are blessed.⁣
⁣
Sunday mornings are holy.⁣
⁣
Sunday mornings are for mamas to go sit with their Father.⁣
⁣
