Trigger Warning: Maternal Mental Health
I’ve been having a very difficult time with the trial that has been going on in regards to the mother and her three children. When I woke up today, I felt an overwhelming need to speak out. This topic is triggering for a lot of people and I wanted to look away to protect my own mental health. But then I felt for the mothers that are currently struggling or will struggle in the future and decided that I couldn’t stay silent.
It’s not a well put together speech. I had no script or bullet points. So I’m sorry if it’s a bit all over the place or leaves a lot of questions.
When I’m talking about my own hospital stay, it was a self admit and I chose to leave because I was feeling worse. I didn’t make that clear in the video.
I’m terrified to put this out here, but I’m more terrified that if we keep looking the other way or don’t spread awareness and compassion about maternal mental health, then more innocent lives will be lost.
The whole subject of maternal mental health and my own struggles where what my maternity cave image was all about.
