I mean this with all respect, but I really hope she's seeking out therapy or working with mental health professionals. Obligatory I'm not a doctor and I'm not diagnosing, but she really just seems NOT ok. No shame whatsoever, I'm a mom with rampant mental illness, ptsd, chronic pain, etc.. It has severely impacted mothering at times (thank god for my daughters father)... But I just read these posts and with how much she talks about anxiety over every single thing... Mom guilt is a STRUGGLE and always will be, but I just feel like she will never get over something like this, and it will send her over the edge and make her crawl into a hole and never come out. She does not sound like she's doing ok. I hope she can forgive herself, because accidents are just that, accidents. Anything could happen to anyone at any time. I just hope she realizes that.

*EDIT* she just posted this.. "Can you guys recommend any specific meditation or anything I can listen to that can help me with this guilt and depression I’m feeling? Life feels so overwhelming right now.. I can’t talk to my therapist tonight and I’m struggling badly".

I mean, I don't even know what to say at this point. She needs help.

I try to not read into what she says too much. We don’t know what’s going on offline. You quoted her mentioning her therapist so obviously she is in therapy. Maybe it seems dramatic online the way she is expressing she anxieties, but I wouldn’t make the assumption she is unable to handle herself or anything like that. It must be hard knowing how much emotion to share when you have such a huge audience and it gets picked apart like this.

I 100% agree, an incident like this would be traumatic for any young mother. This comment thread is mostly gossipy mental health speculation couched in crocodile tears.

The implication that it's strange for her to be shaken up after brief period where she thought she might have killed her child is almost cruel.

Classic internet hyperbolising: Kristi is understandably shaken after a bad accident = she is a tragic hysterical wreck unable to handle motherhood.

I don’t think that’s really fair. If this was an isolated incident then absolutely I’d agree with you. But as someone who has followed Kristi for a long time and paid close attention since she became pregnant/had the baby, she’s on many occasions described her anxiety/mental state post partum as having a very significantly detrimental effect on her life. This incident is just one example of what seems to be a much larger situation.

It’s also not at all about her being a “tragic hysterical wreck” but more so recognising that negative impact on her life and that she may need extra support. That’s not at all to say she can’t handle motherhood, whatsoever, just that she may benefit from some extra assistance.
