honestly? i used to hate uncertainty.

it made my chest tight and my mind race

• pregnancy has forced me to get better at it though… because almost nothing about this is certain

• i deal with it by focusing on the small things i can control: making sure i eat, taking my walks, writing when i feel like it, and staying close to the people who make me feel safe

• my husband helps a lot.

when i start spiraling he just holds me and reminds me we’re in this together

• Riot has been really good at that too… she’ll sit with me and talk about random stuff until the anxiety settles

• i also try to remind myself that uncertainty doesn’t always mean something bad is coming.

sometimes it just means something new is on the way

• still learning, still practicing… but i’m getting better at breathing through it instead of fighting it

how do you deal with uncertainty? i’d love to hear while i’m laying here rubbing my belly and trying to stay calm about everything ahead 🖤
