I have little and humungo anxieties that keep me up most nights - and apparently #PostpartumAnxiety is a thing? And it doesn’t help that I’ve already got what the docs call #GeneralizedAnxietyDisorder - omGAD. How could someone who jokes about damn-near everything be so damn anxious - beats the hell out of me !
So other than that ball of bullshit I won’t dive into now, I’ve also got some long term physical pain that’s been flaring up lately - probably because I’m carrying around a 15lb 3-month old - he’s a big fella! But for years I’ve had annoying and at times terrible pain in my back, in the mid-right section. It aches something fierce and it’s only getting worse.
I can’t even carry my baby for more than a minute without it flaring up. Tonight I walked him and gentle swung him side to side in my arms because he was fighting his sleep and after a good 20 minutes It felt like a damn knife was going into my back - some bullshit - I’m only 28! I’ve been laying in bed for about an hour trying to sleep (postpartum anxiety also causes insomnia) and the pain still hasn’t gone completely. These daily #Migraine headaches are a real bitch too. Also doesn’t help that every time I get up from bed or after sitting awhile, my feet, legs and back ache terribly and I’m hunched over like an old lady for about 20 seconds until i get moving! 🤦🏻‍♀️ #Pain
Apart from the obvious (I should probably go to a chiropractor - researching one as we speak) I would like to say to you folks out there experiencing one or more of these kinds of issues:
A: Let’s smoke a bowl - indica is a great way to relax the body and free the mind from dragging itself thru the muck. Stay away from those hybrids and sativas #marajuana

B: Let’s pop a Motrin and Tylenol. The right dosage (which would likely be based on your weight - ***always consult with your doc first!) is a miracle cocktail. After my c-section, I was in enough pain that I needed high doses of norco #PainMedication which happens to be highly addictive and make you feel euphoric. Luckily, I had to stop taking it because in high doses it can actually cause a person to forget to breathe in their sleep (a type of sleep apnea) but the pain still needed to be dealt with. So my doc recommended a mixture of acetaminophen and ibuprofen, which have been proven to work well for pain like those after major surgeries, its non-addictive and doesn’t make you feel drunk.

C. Let’s get checked out (if you haven’t already) I’ve been putting this shit off wayyyy too long and damn it I want to be able to carry my son! He’s the one that gives me faith in the future and he is my motivation to be better and do right by him. Pain or no pain, life will continue.
