Shortly after I had my son my whole world collapsed.
I was covid-19 positive when I gave birth.
I was emergency induced at the hospital two weeks early.
I was laid off a week after giving birth.
Restless nights had me exhausted and to make matters worse,
I had childlike regression, repetitive speech, and lasting severe brain fog from covid symptoms.
Luckily I had a praying momma, a great therapist and several advocates that led me to bomb mental health professionals and family that helped watch my son while I got much needed rest.

Whether new momma or simply on your own journey, how has your story been? Let me know in the comments.
