You have to keep yourself busy

  Hi DJ Chloe at sa mga listeners niyo. Gusto ko lang po sana makahingi ng words of wisdom and advice pa. I am a stay-at-home mom now. I just resigned from work a month ago para mag-alaga naman ng anak. Parang nakakafeel lang ako ng emptiness, loneliness, at depression this past few weeks. Nandun ‘yung bigla na lang akong natutulala at napapaluha out of nowhere. Wala akong kasama sa bahay. Dalawa lang kami ng anak ko pag office na si hubby and ‘yung anak ko ‘di pa nakakapagsalita. And napapansin ko nagiging sobrang overthinker ko na. To the point na naiisip ko is puro negative thoughts. Is this part ba ng adjustment? I hope and pray that this won’t last. I hope I can. Please hide my identity. Thank you and God bless po.

  Love

  Missy

  Hi Missy!

  There’s a saying that goes like this: An idle mind is a devil’s workshop.

  If you’re taking care of your baby/child, then I wonder why you still have time to overthink. If I remember it right, when I was taking care of my kids, can’t afford ng yaya eh, halos pati pag-CR kasama ko anak ko. Whenever my child / toddler / baby is sleeping, I’d take that opportunity to either do the laundry or fold the laundry.
  Walang katapusan ang gawain sa bahay. Hindi ka ba busy? You guys are lucky now, ang dami ng libangan. If you’re tired of cable TV, there’s Netflix, YouTube. Ang dami mong pwedeng gawin maliban sa gawaing bahay na halos 24 hours walang tigil. Sun up to sun down ang gawain sa bahay, ‘di ba?

  ‘Di kaya may post-partum depression ka? It happens sa mga bagong panganak and post-partum is real.

  Maybe you feel trapped kasi ‘di ka makaalis because of the baby, ganun talaga. Your life will change 100% the moment you become a mother. It’s not forever dear, your kid will grow up eventually so enjoy while it lasts dapat.

  Maraming pwedeng gawin, learn how to crochet, cross stitch, bake, marami. And most of all when you feel anxious and worried and you’re overthinking, PRAY and talk to Him. Tell Him all the things that bother you, memorize verses, know His promises. This is actually the best time for you to grow spiritually. Dami mong time with the Lord. ?
