I’ve tried making a video about this several times and I just can’t, so here goes.
I’m currently dealing with postpartum depression. I’ve been struggling with it since the middle of this most recent pregnancy. (I didn’t even know that was a thing, but apparently it is.)
The good news is that my husband notified my doctor of my symptoms and my doctor quickly realized it was postpartum and provided me with the appropriate treatment. They’re both really awesome people, and I’m so grateful they were looking out for me. It’s really hard to recognize postpartum symptoms when you’re experiencing them firsthand— even if those symptoms are getting really severe. I’m lucky I was able to get the help I needed.
Also, I have a job now. I loved being a stay-at-home mom, and I think it’s very important to stay at home if you have a newborn baby (which I do). But having four kids is very expensive. Too expensive. My husband has been able to provide for us, but the amount of work necessary for him to do so was beginning to put a significant toll on his health. For the well-being of my family, we really needed a second salary.
So, now I have a job. I really enjoy the work, and it gives me a much-needed break from the (mostly) joyful chaos of a house full of small children. This means that when I am home, I’m more engaged as a parent and less grouchy. It also gives my husband an opportunity to spend some valuable bonding time with his children.
I know there’s a lot of griping in the manosphere/red pill community about women and their “careers”. I certainly think that in an ideal world I could have spent more time at home with my newborn son. But this isn’t an ideal world. And even being less than ideal it’s still pretty great.
So, anyone who has a problem with my job can go eat a dick.
As far as videos go, I’ll post them when I can, but it probably won’t be on a schedule. This is just going to be the best I can do for the foreseeable future, and I don’t expect it to change anytime soon.
Hey folks! I’m so sorry to be doing this, but tonight’s Thursday evening video is going to have to get pushed to Friday morning/afternoon. I haven’t slept for two nights now and I’m having a bit of difficulty staying awake. I’ll try to do a small midweek video to make it up to y’all but right now I just desperately need sleep.

Sorry folks. That’s just where we are right now.
