I Asked for Help

Ten months ago I became a mom. The best and hardest job I have ever had. My marriage, mental health, and physical health took a toll. I sought therapy and asked for help. Now I feel my marriage is strong again and my mental and physical health is starting to improve. I have learned instead of bottling up even the smallest feeling ends up turning in to something more than it should. I have started to express how I am feeling in the moment. Talking about what I need or at least just saying the emotion out loud helps me and my husband find a solution. I have the most supportive husband who just wants to help and be there for me. I've found I get in my own way when I try to please everyone else and I ignore my own needs. I am so proud of the wife and mother I have become!
