Today was rough. Our miscarriage a couple weeks ago hit me really hard today, for a few different reasons. I think I spent more time crying today than I have in years, and I’ve been through some stuff. You know what made it infinitely worse? This stupid, pointless lockdown.
can’t call my therapist and make an appt (zoom just doesn’t work for me). I can’t book a massage or go out to a wine bar with a friend. I can’t even go in public without gagging over a mask that literally makes me physically ill to wear.
My kids are all having a hard time with this. My senior daughter is missing every milestone of this capstone year.
’m just really sad, and that’s ok. We lost a baby. We’d be sociopaths to not be sad. But all the things that help us heal and recover and get on with life are ... not readily available.
I’m doing the best I can and I know I’ll get better. I love this life with @justin_hart and my four gorgeous girls. I am blessed! But today I’m sad and sad for everyone else who is sad in lockdown who doesn’t have the support system that I do.
We gotta end this lockdown, y’all.
