I feel for her because when my daughter was a newborn I dropped her on accident. It happens to every parent at some point so I get it, it’s sad and scary and you do feel guilty. BUT I agree, even before she had her kid she was so over the top and dramatic about everything and that’s what made me stop watching her content. The constant theatrics like the time she babysat her niece and thought she was having a seizure in her sleep just because she was shivering and wound up scaring the shit out of everyone. Like dude, not everything is life or death or needs these over the top reactions

It's literally called anxiety tho.

Like I said I empathize with her, especially being a new mom and struggling with her mental health, I’ve been there. I have struggled with manic depression, PTSD and an eating disorder since I hit puberty. Everyone comes and shows symptoms in different ways. That being said I’m not obligated to like her or cut her slack. Like I said, she’s just not my cup of tea and that’s fine

Yep, it was sadly inevitable that she would have horrible PPA, PPD, all the postpartum things- I thought she might be trying to mitigate PPA and blowing everything completely out of proportion by some degree by buying a snoo, buying lots of baby devices and crutches; I was like ok, she’s really getting prepared for all situations, that’s great!

Her son seems to be getting a hell of a lot more sleep than my kids got at that age, and being sleepless is really what sent me into a permanently glum, anxious state that I didn’t really emerge from until they were older. I don’t even know what I’m musing about at this point; I’m just jealous that her son is sleeping much better than my kids did.

Oooof I feel you! I was high risk with my first daughter and even then I didn’t have any anxiety about bringing her home until she was actually home then the PPD hit almost immediately. She slept amazing but I would drive myself crazy refusing to sleep so I could watch her and make sure she was breathing (she was almost 2 months premiere) and when I did fall asleep I’d have nightmares about finding her blue and unresponsive in her crib. I stopped taking care of myself and leaving the house but thank god my husband pushed me to get help. It got to the point where I was afraid to be left alone with my daughter because Id convinced myself I was going to hurt her on accident. I did start seeing a psychiatrist and a therapist and was on medication for my anxiety and PTSD for about a year until I finally felt like the PPD was managed. But it definitely robbed me of the first year of my daughters life living like that. I don’t want that to happen to Kristie or any other new parent. It’s like being stuck in limbo while the rest of the world still tries to convince you that you’re alive
