Hard Days

Today is a hard day, I could barely get out of bed I couldn't even bring myself to get my kids up for school today so decided to make them a doctors appointment for today just give myself a little extra time to get myself together. My kids did need to go to the doctor it could have waited a day roughly until they got out of school. I had to bring out my computer and share this with you all because this is what Mental Beauty is all about sharing the everyday struggles of motherhood. I am a mother with chronic bipolar depression and these days happen, with my medicine these days are far and few but they still happen. I know I’m not alone in this and I don't want you to feel that you are either. You had the strength grab your computer or pick up your phone to read this. My goal is to hopefully give you just a little extra strength today to do something more with your day. Whether it's making breakfast, get dressed, or just get out of bed these may seem small but for a mom having a hard day these are huge victories that can make all the difference. Your a mom who doesn't have bad days quite this bad. Maybe this post will shine some light that it could be harder and that your bad day could be a great day for someone else. We all want to be this perfect, Don't we? The perfect mom, the perfect wife/girlfriend, the perfect daughter, the perfect businesswoman. All at the same time. WELL, HONEY!!!! I'm here to tell you don't have have to be at all times it's ok to fall off every once in awhile. This may be hard especially if you're a perfectionist like me. Just remember we all have good days and you are enough.
