Anxiety manifests itself differently for different people. For me, it snuck up postpartum and reared its’ head in the form of irritation, impatience, worry, and self loathing. Spoiler, medication brought me back to reality and I am so beyond grateful. This is my story. I share it with the intent that if you are struggling with mental health, you can know you are not alone and that help is available. You may have anxiety, but anxiety doesn’t have to have you.
