My anxiety peaked badly a few days ago & was up with bub all night last night. Feel really all over the show today and can't 'mum'. Feeling like my intolerance of stress means I was not cut out for motherhood. 😔 #anxiety #depression #pnd #mentalhealth #sad #motherhood

Sorry i've been away from Twitter for a while, behind on everything. Had to digitally detox as so much going on around me & was using soc media to avoid & escape. The overload really overwhelms me & sometimes I just need to press pause & try to be present to my feelings.

Hoping all of the other tier 4-ers are doing ok & that you find some way to feel connected with those you love this Christmas. Thinking of everyone. 💜🎄 #mentalhealth #Christmas2020 #lockdown

Late night musings; the pressure to #bounceback after #pregnancy is often societally driven but what does a mum gain from this expectation? Is it ever solely health driven? Do women feel the need to do this to be accepted? To be attractive in the eyes of society? Regain identity?

2021 hasn't started on the best footing for me. Coping with bereavement, husband having to distance from me & bub as ill (corona test tbc), broken washing machine, surviving on 2.5/3hrs of sleep a night for a week & then having to look after a toddler is just too much..

Anyone got any experience of taking #promethazine to help them sleep when anxiety is bad? Been scared to take but honestly think I need it. #mentalhealth #anxiety #insomnia #tiredmum

It makes me sad to have to send my son back to nursery as am v worried he will get covid but on the other hand I just can't look after him 24/7 on my own. I guess the risk to his development & my mental health is greater but I hate that we have to make this decision. 😥 #lockdown

Ok so i was meant to have a phone dr's appt for my son but they never rang.. So does that mean if you need a Dr's advice & a prescription that it just doesn't matter..because no other illness or problem exists apart from #covid!? 😒

#Toddler wants "out".Doesn't want shoes..coat..or gloves. Ready to go, decides hungry but not for what given. Refuses pram after you lug it out. Wants to walk..has meltdown as wants to be carried. Has fun but mum feels like she did a ninja warrior course..in the dark whilst drunk

One of those horrid days when your toddler misses his midday nap.. the stress really amps up my anxiety to non-functional levels 😱

Any tips for a toddler resisting their day nap and having a total meltdown... and tips for an exhausted mum in total meltdown from anxiety because of it?!? #toddlertantrum

My 19m old has been waking on & off throughout night over last week. Has to hold my hand to sleep & gets distressed waking when i have left rm.. Separation anxiety. Trying to get him to cuddle toy but tonight he broke me when he said "mama, mama, stay, stay". 😭 Feel so terrible.

My Dr AND MH team referred me to Sleepstation to help with my sleep difficulties and I received this message from my Dr today. Sorry sleepstation but 1. Surely you are missing the point of your service 2. This is blatant discrimination 3. WHO is your service for!?🤔 #mentalhealth

Another night of no sleep. 😓 My son will only sleep holding my hand or cuddled up next to me all night. Goes into meltdown if he wakes up & i've left the room.. 😵

Living in my own personal hell right now. I just want to have a child who sleeps. 😭 #tiredmum

Even my anxiety has anxiety.

Sorry for being MIA. A lot has been going on with a lot of changes in my life and took a social media hiatus too. I hope all you mamas are doing ok - particularly those who fight the battle every day. 💙 #pnd #mums #mentalhealth
