An experience famous for pushing NT to the edge. So I'm wondering how other ND parents found the first few months & years of having a child?My son turns 6 months old this Saturday and, he is amazing, but after navigating the birth in a pandemic and remaining supportive to my partner throughout, I find myself to be a stressed out, overworked, overwhelmed, bag of mess each day now. I feel like I never spend time alone anymore to recharge and often meltdown in various ways, constant migraines and flare-ups of sensitivities in the process.Will it get easier? Or are we not really built for this journey?
It might be helpful to explore some practices that can help you restore emotional balance and reduce stress. Whether it's finding a few moments for yourself to recharge, engaging in activities you enjoy, or practicing mindfulness, these small self-care practices can make a big difference. Additionally, don't hesitate to reach out to your loved ones for support. They can be a great source of help and understanding.
