As stated before, my pregnancy was not easy and I had MULTIPLE obstacles I had to learn to overcome. From my experience, One time I endured emotional pain where I felt my chest tighten up and breathing was hard. Being pregnant at the time, I began to panic. I remember feeling my stomach began to cramp and I kneeled on the bathroom floor. I never felt like that before. Honestly, the experience was scary. I just kept thinking about my baby inside me. Focusing on my baby made the pain stop. I began to breathe and I told myself it will be okay. When I got off the bathroom floor I made a promise to myself and my baby. That promise was that I was going to cut what was causing me the emotional pain. If your relationship is causing you emotional pain to this point, it is time to LEAVE. This is easier said than done.
Your emotional well being is just as important as your physical well-being. If you do not promote self care in your own life, you will start to feel it on the outside.If you cut your finger you can easily clean it and put a bandage on it. That cut will heal and your finger will be okay. This process is not the same as if you have a emotional cut in your heart.This cut can get deeper the longer you hold it in. It can also begin to tear you apart inside and cause you to question your own self worth. When you begin to question your own worth, you lose yourself. I experienced A LOT of emotional pain during and after my pregnancy. I dealt with this pain by journaling my feelings and focusing on the health on my baby girl. I also relied on my family and friends as a support system.
