I DON'T HAVE TO SHARE THIS | PREGNANCY AND POST PARTUM DEPRESSION | A DAY IN THE LIFE SAHM

[@flordevida7]

Wow thank you for this video for your honesty! I’m sure this has helped so many mamas out there. I have suffered with depression and anxiety and it’s so comforting to here that I’m not alone. Sometimes I feel like people who don’t suffer from it just don’t understand and think you should be able to shake it off but it is a very real thing that sometimes we cannot control. Prayers for complete healing from depression and anxiety!

[@anataylor3727]

Brittani, you are such a strong woman... your kids are so lucky to have a mom like you! The biggest sign of strength is when people realize they need help and they do what they have to do to get well.... thank you for sharing because right now you are helping so many of us that feel the same way but are not sure how or what to do!!! It is great that you can be open about what you have been through. Thank you and I wish you the very best....

[@victorianygaard6565]

Every time you post, I'm saying to myself, "Dang, her husband hit the jackpot with you!" I hope you realize that and he does as well. I don't know anyone who decides to rip out carpet and put wood floors in their house all by herself. You are beautiful inside and out. I'm also amazed at how you put all that furniture together on your own. You just helped so many women who have anxiety and depression by being honest.

[@angelinaregina9961]

Thank you so much for sharing your struggle! I as well have struggled so very much with postpartum depression and anxiety. With both my babies. Now pregnant with my third which was a bit of a surprise I abruptly stopped my Zoloft as well. Which has been extremely tough for me so far. The panic attacks, angry outbursts and depression has come back full force. It’s been really hard. And I had started Zoloft with my second when I was 32 weeks as well. And I feel as if I might have to do that again. But it makes me feel so much better knowing I don’t struggle in this alone, so thank you!! And praying for you mama💗

[@denacantrell2523]

You are one amazing mama. ❤ I dont know how you do it all. I have a 1 and 2yr old and its so hard. Thank you for opening up. You are not alone. I have post partum depression and anxiety and I'm currently taking meds. The meds have gave me my life back. I didn't like the idea of taking meds at first but I'm so glad I opened up and got help. I was miserable. I thank God everyday for helping me get thru that dark time.

[@wendyb9134]

I just prayed for you. I too am in medication for anxiety and depression so I know how it feels! You do what makes life better for you and your family and it's no one's business except yours unless someone wants to give you understanding and moral support! I pray you feel back to normal real soon!

[@simple_naildesigns]

Wendy B amen! Very true

[@musicalmedli]

You are not the only one prescribed that. I've been on it for quite some time due to my anxiety. Nothing wrong with it. We have to do what we have to do to help us through. You are a super mom.

[@patwanner1781]

Depression is no,joke. It has a profound effect on you and your family. Good for you getting help.you’re a strong woman who knows when to seek help.👩🏻‍🦰

[@lisabaclet5429]

Sending you love! Anxiety is no joke and I suffered years ago with post partum. No one talked about it 25 years ago and I had severe depression for about 9 months after my daughter was born. I applaud you for talking about it and if it lets one person feel safe in seeking help then it is worth it. 💕💕💕

[@LillyandThings]

Well said! I totally agree.

[@kellieodell67]

You are so brave for sharing your story! I suffered from PPD with my daughter. She is 2 years old now. I never got on medication because I was scared to talk to anyone about it. I do think I am still suffering from bad anxiety and it’s going untreated. This video gave me the courage to talk to my doctor and not feel bad about it! Love you girl!!!!

[@shawnarobynne]

I also get anxiety with being in crowds, and it can be extremely overwhelming at time. I was on Zoloft for a couple of years, and came off of it the same time we ended up having the world wide pandemic - not meaning to - but I was so sick and couldn’t even take my medication... and after a couple weeks, I just stopped taking it. I’m trying to cope without it, so we will see how it goes. Thank you for always being so real and honest. It’s nice to see that even the people I admire and look up to, can relate to the same problems. Thanks Brittani, for being yourself, for being open and honest with so much of your life 💖

You are so honest and open and a super wife and Mom!! I hate the crowds in grocery stores so I now order online and just pickup!

You are not alone! I’ve had postpartum depression with both my babes (newest is 6 weeks old). Thank you for sharing and shedding light on a subject that is very common but rarely talked about. God bless you and your family 💕

[@jammiehawks6760]

Thank you so much for sharing! I am on Zoloft right now and 12 weeks pregnant with baby number 4. I had the worst postpartum anxiety and depression after my last baby and I was so afraid to not take it after I found out I am pregnant this time. Everyone is so judgmental about that but you have to do what’s best for you ❤️

[@jenniferhogan40]

Just started watching your channel pretty recently & I love how real & open you are on here. Some channels that I've come across aren't so I really enjoy your vlogs & letting us as viewers into your life! Btw you are awesome with how you take care of your family!! I have 2 young adult daughters so seeing you with your little boys & older daughter is precious!

I am right there with you.. I am 37 weeks and have felt depressed the past few months. I haven’t made any steps to get onto medication but I will be postpartum. So glad you got what you needed and I do understand what you’re going through

[@OgramRavot21]

We just got one almost like yours. Alittle different and I agree it's great. I love how you don't have to choose what load to put it on. Small, medium, large. This washer senses your load to see how much water to use. So many useful other options and you can see through the top. Ours locks 🔒 when it's in use. Child proof. It's great & I recommend too 🙂

[@jamiespainhour6312]

[@bambio9686]

I NEVER KNEW what anxiety was until i had my 4th baby ( now I have 6, one is older and lives on his own) Kids give me anxiety so bad It’s gotten better but feel like it’s something I’ll struggle with for a while. I also feel that it started once I hit 40 I think hormones can contribute Good luck and I’m sorry 😐 I know exactly what your going through

I think you are doing great! Whatever you need to do to feel better is what needs to be done. Thank you for sharing !

[@atxkellybeth1514]

Thank you for sharing!! I suffered with severe depression last year when I was pregnant and then really bad PPD. I had to stop breastfeeding after only a few months because the meds that work for me would have been bad for my girl. It was a really tough year, but I am so glad I decided to be medicated. I was so much better to myself and my family after just a few weeks. Stay strong momma!!

[@debbieb2584]

Hi Brittany, It takes a lot of strength to share and be vulnerable especially on a social media platform. Sending good wishes and support your way.

[@barbb.7028]

Thanks for your honesty. You and your doctor are doing what you feel is best and that's important. Prayers for you and your family through the rest of this pregnancy.

Im so happy you are open to talk about your depression. I had it to after i had my son. Its not something alot of moms talk about but i think by choosing to talk about it you can help and relate to other mommas out there. Love your videos! Xoxo

[@emilyminett]

I’m so proud of you for sharing your story and opening up. You are such an inspiration!! I am 7 months PP with my second and experienced PPA & PPD. Which was new for me this time around. It’s so important to open up about it and realize it’s totally common!!! Love you girl! 💖

It has been off and on for years , but I’m pregnant with my third baby right now and the struggle is real ! I’d love to hear your updates on how you’ve been doing from here on out !

You brought tears to me because I've been through the same just like you... thank you sharing and for being such an honest person. At times you feel like your alone... happy to say I will also be on the same medication looking forward to happier motivating days. Ur amazing momma Brittani💗

[@cutesy-1080p]

Your video that shows how you do the mermaid braid made it so ez!!!!!!!!! Thank you for that.

[@cutesy-1080p]

Girlfriend...that ppd and ppanx is so REAL!!! You just have (or at least I did) weird crazy thoughts. For instance...two weeks pp I was at park with husband and this maintenance guy was doing his job but because he smiled at me I thought he was going to take my baby. I mean like wth? I also had a great fear that husband would leave us every time he went to work. It's not normal the fears and anxiety that just come out of nowhere. So girlfriend you do what is best for you and your family and most importantly your sanity. Prayers and hugs.

[@tracywaring3769]

Sweetheart it does not matter what anyone else thinks ,you do what you need to do,I know exactly what you are going through , I had severe depression while pregnant and also I had it when I stopped breastfeeding which was seven weeks after I had our daughter, I ran out of milk and had to stop, up to then I was absolutely fine after she was born felt amazing ,so when it hit after seven weeks it was awful, unless you have been through it you cant understand how it makes you feel, dont listen to negative comments, I'm always here if you need someone to talk to , hope things get easier very soon much love Tracy x

Thank you for being so open about this. I’m pregnant with my first baby (23 weeks with our baby girl) and I’ve been on anti depressants and anxiety medication my whole pregnancy, I felt so terrible about it but now I’m thankful I didn’t stop, plus my doctors are totally okay with it which makes me feel better. Thank you again, you’re doing great mama and I look up to you ❤️ Happy 4th of July!

[@alieshapratt6004]

I love that you're sharing such a personal time in your life! It's a really hard thing to talk about for some people! I suffered 8 miscarriages including our two year old sons twin and a year after he was born I Could tell something wasn't right and went to my doctor and got diagnosed with postnatal depression and with some medication and therapy it helped immensely! I never thought I would suffer with that all I wanted was to be a mum and my dream came true and I couldn't understand why I was feeling so down! I gave birth to my second baby boy 6 weeks ago and it scares me the thought of having two little boys and having depression but I'm trying to do things that help before it gets too bad! I wish you all the best I love watching your vlogs and I love how real you are :) thank you so much for being so open and honest!!!

[@mskayyxo]

We have so many things in common. Anxiety is my weakness and being a mama to full household sometimes days are overwhelming but I just try to push through.

[@nikkip5134]

You are amazing!! Good for you for being brave enough to take care of yourself.

[@Sara-fy2zy]

I just found you and I am so excited b/c I feel like I am on the same journey! I am 24 weeks pregnant with my first baby boy and the first half of pregnancy I was a train wreck with severe anxiety and depression. My poor hubby has never seen me like this. My doctor ended up prescribing me zoloft, (which I haven't started yet) but after 20 weeks the symptoms disappeared. Luckily she knew me well enough to know that I will most likely need the medicine once baby boy is here and I am prepared once he does come! Thanks for making me feel a little more normal!

[@melaniephelan971]

I get awful anxiety at the end of my pregnancies and I feel like every pregnancy it got worse. Always started around 34ish weeks. Good for you to be so prepared ahead of the birth!

Ty for sharing this (PPD) 💗 After I had my baby girl, I found out I had it and had to get on some medicine to help. I felt ashamed and, while I know it's nothing to be ashamed of, it really helps to hear we are not a lone in our journeys as moms💗😘

[@Baileybooandecho]

You poor girl! I remember those days well. My (now) 21 yr old son was potty training. He was finger painting on our sun porch. I looked away for a couple of minutes and saw that he had taken his diaper off and was painting with poop! 😳 That was a bad but funny day.

[@LifeofBrandi]

I'm a fellow boy mom and yes, the peeing and pooping in things is a huge fascination! I feel you there, Hun! So many times I'm like, "Why? Why is this happening?" But you handled it like a pro! Ah, kids! And on the depression situation, it doesn't matter if anyone agrees. All that matters is that you are doing the absolute best for yourself and your babies. I struggled with post partum depression with my second child and I was dealing with severe depression when I got pregnant with my last baby. I took anti-depressants during my pregnancy because I knew it would help. So, again, it doesn't matter if someone agrees, you're doing the best for you so you can be the best for your kids. As far as I'm concerned, you're doing what it takes to be the best for your kids and that makes you an incredible mom. Nothing can argue that! ❤

Your vulnerability blesses others and makes us feel like we aren’t alone in the struggle of mental illness. ♥️

[@tiffanymarshall3851]

I have always suffered from anxiety. When my daughter was born were discovered she has a physical disability that requires a lot of surgeries and months of recovery time. Two years ago in the midst of one of her long recoveries I began having panic attacks that were so bad I would end up in the ER. l took lexapro for the last two years and it helped me so much. Im 23 weeks pregnant and my OB doesn't support anxiety meds even zoloft which my pcp did recomend. I was weaned off my meds and now my daughter is recovering from a leg lengthening surgery and I have had a couple panic attacks recently. I fully support a woman doing what is best for her mental health. It is important for us to feel together in order to care for our children. Im happy your OB supports you and you're able to take zoloft so you can feel good and be able to function for yourself and family. No one deserves to suffer when there are safe medications out there.
