Hey, Maybe you haven’t got many people around you reminding you how incredibly well you’re doing, not only to have grown and birthed a baby but to have moved to a new country and work there is so so brave and a massive achievement! Is this something that you had dreamed of in the past that you are now living? I think social media is so damaging to what real life should feel like, i heard somewhere that in the first 10 minutes of being awake and checking socials that you are seeing hundreds of ideas/ actions/ beliefs/ comparisons of thousands of people that our ancestors wouldn’t have seen in a lifetime! I think it’s good to block whatever makes you feel sad, especially when it comes to exs and weight ! Definitely take time to give yourself some self compassion and self love. It’s Good to let it all out! :)
But most ppl do so many things right ? They do change countries and take more responsibilities and still manage to grow . I dunno things seem perfect and I would feel I am not able to do anything. Has anyone felt this way and figure out what to do ?
hello!! Totally un embarrassed human here. Through portions of high school and college battled an eating disorder. In 2019 I left most forms of social media and it so much more confident in myself. Just not seeing diet culture and all these mega skinny people. After having a baby, I still sometimes struggle with feelings about how my body looks. I have not and will not ever say a negative word about myself and my body in front of my child. I refuse to allow my daughter to grow up feeling the way that I did. Maybe just take a brief break from mass media. I can’t tell you how much more productive and happy I’ve been. I no longer care about the narrative or what story everyone and the world sees about me and I focus on my life and everyday activities. I hope you feel better and more confident soon!
