You and I live parallel lives; I have three children, the youngest being 10 months old. I struggled with anxiety after she was born for ages; it was the hardest year of my life. I too am in my 30s and haven't looked after myself as well as I could have (still don't). What you wrote resonated with me very strongly. You're a good woman, Elizabeth!

I am a woman in my 30s who has ten months ago had her third baby; who suffered anxiety terribly after her birth and who should be taking better care of herself (and still isn't). Thank you. I feel more myself now than I ever have, I feel more enlightened and lighter. Still anxious. Still struggling some days but I can see how this journey has shaped (and is still shaping me) and I can look to the future. You're a good woman, Elizabeth.

I've learned so much about the importance of self care this last year. It's a necessity. Not only do I need it, but my family needs me to do it. When I can take some time out for me I'm a better wife and mother. Check out the book, Fringe Hours. Lots of great stuff in there about the balance of being a mom!Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14984097757828224406noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4307836168930196678.post-37509382569608151962016-02-03T19:11:28.939-08:002016-02-03T19:11:28.939-08:00Thanks name twin! :) xoxoThanks name twin! :) xoxolizzywritehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01769406631790078045noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4307836168930196678.post-8062646315891451092016-02-03T17:43:02.265-08:002016-02-03T17:43:02.265-08:00These posts always make me stop and think. i alway...These posts always make me stop and think. i always enjoy your blog and appreciate your honesty.

And I started the Matt Damon Diet (don't bother googling it -- I made it up!). He is the commencement speaker at MIT (where I work) and I've given up soda and desserts and hope to get in shape in case he wants to hang out with me after his speech. hahahahaha! ellenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10107387078104994223noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4307836168930196678.post-67887285493434722312016-02-03T03:36:01.395-08:002016-02-03T03:36:01.395-08:00Lizzy, you are the best, really.

Some mornings I feel guilty for sneaking out of my house at 5 am and letting my husband handle breakfast for all the kids...but those pre-dawn hours alone running are what stave off crippling depression, and that is 100% worth it.
