I gave birth via emergency c-section yesterday morning at 8:10 am. Part of my uterus tore and I lost a lot of blood. It was the most terrifying experience of my life. But my son is the most wonderful, beautiful, amazing thing in my life. I am so happy & grateful.

My depression is almost non-existent these days, but anxiety is definitely hanging around most of the time. Things are going so well that I feel like it's too good to be true--something terrible is going to happen soon. Surely I can't just be happy.

People often ask me ‘how can I help someone with #BPD?’
My answer is always: ‘#validation’.
Many people with BPD have been through a lifetime of #invalidation.
Validation can help bring intense emotions down.
So I'm being put on modified bed rest and have to stop babysitting. My babysitting money was our food budget & made up most of my OB payments. I'm panicking.

Guys, I'm losing it this morning. I've had bad lower back pain for the past 8 weeks or so. I figured it's a normal part of pregnancy so I've been trying to suck it up and deal mostly.

Babysitting a 2 year old is only making it worse. I finally asked my OB about it a little over 2 weeks ago and she referred me to physical therapy. Thank God I have my first appt this morning. Sleeping less than 4 hours a night has become the norm & I'm in constant pain.

At first I just noticed it when if I lay on my back or if I had a busy day. But it's gotten progressively worse and about 5 weeks ago it started keeping me awake at night and hurting when I walk, lift anything heavier than a half gallon of milk, or change positions.
