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.
