    i’m not typically this honest in a comments section but jenn’s openess with anxiety and new motherhood has completely shifted my opinion on motherhood for myself. i never wanted kids. it felt like it was expected of me and on top of that i was terrified of the responsibility. it seemed like everyone who became a mother was so happy and excited because it’s exactly what they wanted. seeing jenn’s journey has really opened my eyes and made me more comfortable (even curious) to experience the ups and downs of pregnancy and motherhood! thank you jenn, i’m sure i’ll lean on your vlogs again someday in the future.

    Have you figured out your attachment style? When you learn what your AS is, you'll figure out what causes your nervous system to dysregulate in response to your relationships (with anything, your SO/spouse, fam, friends, people, money, success, etc.) and what you can do about it. Attached: The New Science of Adult Attachment and How It Can Help YouFind - and Keep - Love by by Amir Levine , Rachel Heller. When you have a major life & body change like Jenn is having, it all escalates. Knowing your AS will help you regulate better and look forward to marriage and family. Hope this helps! 💖 Emma B.

    I also get severely sucked into Reddit and it's so addicting. I could just stay on it all day. I love that you're so in tune with your mental health and so honest about what else you need to "fix" or resolve. I find that I've resolved and come to terms with a lot of childhood trauma in my late teens but I found myself in a different set of problems with my family even now as an adult and I feel like this will also manifest as trauma at some point in the future. Even though I'm an adult now and nothing should phase me anymore. Anything to do with the relationship with my parents still does affect me greatly. In a way I always wished that as an adult, I'll have thicker skin and not care as much (or ideally, not care at all). But adulthood has not been at all what I imagined. If anything, it made me even more sensitive to certain things.

    Totally agree with the sensitivity. I feel like it’s because we are adults now. It’s not a simple “we know” anymore. It’s “we’re aware” and what shall we do when we’re aware of these things. As adults, we have the advantage to make a change for better (or worse) and that does take a ton of tolls on ourselves. I have never broke into tears due to stress and anxiety within a short time frame.. and that happened to me a few months ago. Because i was completely aware of what’s happening in my life, to myself and my surrounding. I was aware that i don’t have the power to change people so easily. I’m aware that in the end, if a person wants to change, they’ll change when they have the drive to. I can only be in presence, giving advices or sharing my povs. I’m just someone who asks for fairness and peace. But of course, the reality isn’t so.

    For those watching this video, while i appreciate Jenn being honest about her anxiety and what works for her, please don’t be afraid to talk to a psychologist or seek out medication. Exercise and meditation don’t work for everyone, and I think that’s something she doesn’t often mention. Medication doesn’t mean you’re broken or weak, everyone’s brains work differently and what works for her might not work for you, and that’s okay. Rawbeautykristi has a great video on her journey with postpartum anxiety and trying exercise and natural methods as well as medication for those who might be interested!

    It should be noted that if anything, medication and therapy (with the wrong therapist, mind you, which happens more often than not) can exacerbate post-partum anxiety and depression significantly as well. It’s not the optimal way to approach PPD either, and you need to really go through a good reference to find a suitable, caring therapist and attempt other forms of therapy before using SSRIs. I’ve know women that have been screwed over by PPD meds too, including my mom. It’s not a cure-all. Therapy and medication don’t work for everyone either.

    that's cool and all, but it's not her place or responsability to advocate for medication, especially if that's not something she's using herself. "that's something she doesn't often mention"... stop projecting all of these responsabilities on content creators. this stupid nit-picking forces them to always make 3948490 disclaimers. she's a human being sharing her life on the internet, not a mental health organization.

    Hey no shame here! This is a safe place. I do think that medication should be talked about more as an option for mental illness. It doesn't have to be advocacy, just education. Jenn doesn't have to mention it but if someone does, then that's ok! It's not for everyone, but we have to work on removing the stigma from it because the truth is that medication can help save someone's life if their anxiety or depression is severe. It saved mine 🤷🏾‍♀️ kudos to Jenn for being honest and open and for the commenter who mentioned medication. Both are brave ❤

I suffer from anxiety also, I’m not a mom but I can find myself worrying or overthinking in certain areas to the point of overwhelm, and I have social anxiety also. The days that I can feel chill and push back the worries are good days. I am really proud of you for continuing to work on yourself and finding healthy avenues and solutions to help your anxiety and worries. Like you said, this is giving you a strength that you will look back and surprise yourself at your own growth, and that is a beautiful thing. Keep going, you’re doing your best and you’re doing wonderfully as a mom! Everything will be fine! 😊

I had just recently given birth to our 4th and with covid, the kids are homeschooled and I have to manage that together with taking care of our newborn + working from home at the same time. It's insane and sometimes i'm too tired, even the thought of wanting to cry exhaust me. I recently listened to Benn and your episode on mental health and that has been quite helpful. Thanks for being real Jenn.

    Dear Jen. I too suffered from anxiety for five years. Went to countless doctors and specialists. They all wanted to put me on antidepressants. Finally after reading Suzanne Somers book, I'm too Young for This, I found a Functional Medicine Dr in Pasadena that did a simple blood test and found out my Progesterone levels were extremely low and almost nonexistent (0.5). I've been on biodentical progesterone hormones for a week and I feel almost like a new person. My anxiety had totally lifted and I feel like myself again. This is such a simple test but not standard practice for most doctors. So hopefully you can benefit from this piece of advice and your viewers too. Your baby is adorable and it's obvious you are a naturally good mama. Best wishes! 💕

Even though I'm not a mother, but your way of being open about your struggles and how you deal with it and how you feel about motherhood makes me wonder how do I get to your position ever if I'm honest. My anxiety is probably talking here, but it's encouraging me to know that you're doing your best everyday in spite of everything that's weighing you down.

    Hi Jen! I recently healed from an anxiety disorder and what helped me the most was Journaling. Get you an Anxiety Journal and get those thoughts out of your head! You'll be able to clearly see everything that's worrying you and to solve it (like an algebra problem 😃) this will allow you to organize your thoughts. Also, with anxiety, you're operating solely with your Emotional mind so you have to awaken your Rational mind so that they can communicate with each other. This is part of DBT. Be also patient, kind and loving towards yourself. This too shall pass. You got this 💪🏽 oh and you're doing amazing as a new mommy. Great job!

    Anxiety attacks/panic postpartum is so REAL. After being harassed by my mom & husband for ten years to have a baby I finally gave in. I love my baby to death, but After birth no one helped me & I was left to figure it out ALL alone. I’ve been in fight or flight mode for 15 consecutive months now. My system feels beyond fried to a crisp. I don’t even remember the last time I had any time to myself…Motherhood is flippin HARD! Having ppl you can trust around is CRUCIAL for recovery.

    Hey Jenn, seeing you talk about wanting to be able to manage your anxiety, I really wanted to recommend a book that helped me a ton to see my anxiety in a new way. The book is called "Just a Thought" by Amy Johnson, but she has other books that are great too. If there's one thing that's really made me see an improvement in my anxiety and my ability to cope with the uncertainties of life, it's Johnson's writing and way of thinking. I'm also a Brene Brown fan and have read a handful of the other books you've mentioned over the years, so I have a feeling you may really like this book.

    I so understand the ppa. I went through absolute hell postpartum with my first. It was shocking because not alot of ppl talk about it. I promise it will get better. Give yourself grace, remember healing is not linear and take one day at a time. You will get through it! I want to add that I went into depression bc the breastfeeding didn’t work out with my son. I’m a perfectionist and type A so I wanted it so bad but it just didn’t work. Now he’s 3.5 and it doesn’t matter that he was only breast fed for 3 months! He is happy, healthy, and very active!

    Parenting from the Inside Out was so helpful for me to process how we believe narratives about ourselves and how best to help children process the things we go through. Glad you’re reading it. As for anger and anxiety - I found that the anger manifested in me after years of squashing down my anxiety - I never realised the two were connected. I found Gary Chapman’s book on anger very helpful too - anger is an alarm bell not a sin - it’s what we do with it - how we can process it that will help us and others around us. You’re doing great! Life is a lot like driving - we have rules but we also have to adapt to our surroundings because we are only in control of the wheel and not all the other drivers.

    So happy you're figuring out - and are at peace with it! - your pumping and breastfeeding journey, Jenn. Feeling emotional over here, knowing how difficult it can be, how much mom guilt is involved, and how strong is the desire to do your best for this beautiful little human to grow healthy and happy. You're doing great, Jenn! Even if some days you don't believe you are! Lennon is so loved, he's obviously thriving (those chunky thighs and smoochy cheeks are the proof!). And yeah, eyesight changes, shoe size changes, hips got wider, boobs hang lower, pigmentation... Oh well. My children are the best for me and I am so grateful my body did what it needed to do in order for my two boys and one girl to arrive here. Changes are inevitable.

    Ben is sooo wise and I life that you can learn so much from him Jen and vise versa. He is definitely correct. I was saying to my partner the other day. It was wonderful that we will do our best to build a childhood and life for our kids that they don’t need to then heal from in their adult life. But they know how to handle their adult life and anything and everything life and it brings to them.

    Hi Jenn! There are soooo many changes that come with postpartum. Postpartum Anxiety (Rage and a plethora of other fun mommy things) is totally a thing. Your brain changes in pregnancy and wires it to make you sensitive to 'dangers' for your baby for two years (even more), which is why you're probably experiencing more anxiety. It is not an easy transition so don't be too hard on yourself since it is a period of change and growth that happens during matrescence. Sending you lots of love.

    Hi Jenn! I just wanted you to know that you're not alone with stopping breastfeeding when you want b/c of your mental health! My mom recently told me that she only breast fed me for a month because she couldn't handle the burden on her body, which i thought was so enlightening to learn about. And here I am going through medical school learning all about it! No matter what anyone tells you, fed is best, no matter what it looks like. Keep up the great work that you're doing for yourself!!

    I have learned from my postpartum journey to seek help. If breastfeeding is not working, it is not shameful to seek help from professionals especially a lactation consultant. If anxiety is an issue there are psychiatrist people can seek out for postpartum depression and anxiety. It is not shameful to ask for help and this is why I feel like these resources should be given to first time moms when they are pregnant. I just finished a Cognitive Behavioral Therapy class for Postpartum anxiety and Depression that was taught by my psychiatrist and I am so thankful I was referred to mental health. I’ve been following your videos since college and so glad to see your journey (we are the same age and both had babies in the same year. What a coincidence)
