I haven’t tweeted much about it, but I’ve been struggling with postpartum depression and anxiety ever since Galileo was born. The weight of having to take care of a totally dependent little person who you’re so afraid to fuck up really wears on you.
@labarohn @HeyDoryen Oh, right, and also trying to figure out how to pretty much get rid of everything she owns (even useful, valuable, and sentimental items if they’re too hard to clean) while stuck in a tiny studio with a baby who has decided he no longer likes going to bed.
@labarohn @HeyDoryen Sincerely, the mom up at 4:30 am pumping for triple feeding an infant before work in an apartment that ranges from 79-86 degrees, and is still dealing with severe PPD and PPA even after group therapy, individual therapy, and her first psych appointment today 🙃
@labarohn @HeyDoryen So like, I’m sorry that thank you cards haven’t been at the top of our list. I would love to be that person who promptly sends hand written thank you notes. Hell, I even bought the cards! But the reality is I’m a hot mess, and I’m trying to make peace with that.
Potentially unpopular opinion: if you can’t teach the whole curriculum without homework, your curriculum is the problem. Kids aren’t“quiet quitting” by expecting to only do work @ school. After 7-8 hrs of work, they should expect to protect their peace & find joy when they leave
@MikeyDX3@scumbelievable Ok good, I was off of Twitter for a while and was just doing the drawings west, glad I didn’t eff everything up, keep me updated about when I need to make the transition to facing west too
