When I was little, if I saw something sad about an animal(ex: abuse, stray, poor living conditions, roadkill, etc), I would literally ruminate on the idea for WEEKS and I would make for some reason come up with even worse scenarios. It really really really affected me and I wouldn’t have to avoid going certain places(ex: shelter, social media accounts, petsmart, Petco, cat cafes, certain peoples houses, zoos, etc) because I cannot escape the topics and then the spiraling.

Now that I’m a parent, my trigger of spiraling has transferred from animals to children. What has really set me off is the Epstein files because like WHAT THE ACTUAL F*CK IS WRONG WITH PEOPLE. Why are we not doing anything about this and how could this be happening to babies. Literal BABIES. I literally don’t know what to do. I am on medication for postpartum anxiety, currently pregnant, but I have never brought this up with a provider. I’m kind of scared to because I don’t really know what to say without feeling insane or feeling like they think I am unsafe.

Has anyone ever had this experience? Is this considered OCD? How tf do I deal with this?

Just found out that we’re having our second girl and are looking for another name to go with Delilah Jo. I really like girly, whimsical, unique(but not ugleigh), and older names. I am 100% open to names that aren’t in the categories mentioned above. Some names I love that my husband vetoed are Willow, Tallulah, Eden, Elsie, Sunny, Sadie, Millie, and Ada. Please help a girl out!🩷 I’m open to anything and everything!

Honestly just wanting to bitch🤣. During my first pregnancy, I was like oh this isn’t that big I’m not so big at all. NOW I’m 19w with my second and I’m the same size now as I was when I gave birth. HOW🤣. I’m walking like I’m huge, I’m out of breath from the stairs, and I’m EXHAUSTED!!! And I’m chunky so it doesn’t look like I’m pregnant, I just look extra massive. And I have an 8mo old, so I BET people are not assuming I’m pregnant again so soon.

I was just woken up by a HUGE explosion sound near the new high school. There are cops at a house that I can see from my window allll the way off of oak st

We don’t know the gender of our baby yet, but we’re pretty darn set on Freya if we have another girl. My dad today told me that fea means ugly in Spanish and is pronounced SUPER similarly to Freya. Mind you, we live in the middle of no where Montana, we are not Hispanic, and there are relatively no Hispanic people where we live. Should I even take this comment into suggestion at all?? My heart says fuck it🤣
