@mettissecampbell: I stopped breastfeeding on Wolfie’s 2nd birthday and I honestly didn’t expect it to hit me like this. I can’t really tell what I’m feeling or why. I don’t know if this is about Wolfie turning two, or about stopping breastfeeding, or if it’s just everything landing at once. It all feels mixed up and I can’t quite get a grip on my emotions. I really underestimated how hard this would be, not physically, but emotionally. I feel flat one minute and overwhelmed the next, and I don’t feel like myself. I know this was the right choice for us, and I know Wolfie was ready but that doesn’t stop it from hurting. Instagram makes it look like everything around motherhood is neat and happy and put together. When sometimes it isn’t that. I’m struggling. This feels messy and uncomfortable and a lot harder than I thought it would be. It feels like more than just stopping breastfeeding. It feels like letting go of something that was such a big part of us and of my days, and I don’t quite know how to sit with that yet. I’m trying to be gentle with myself, but I also can’t seem to regulate my emotions right now and that’s hard to admit.
