Style Favorites: Maternity Edition

I'm currently 7 weeks postpartum and cleared to start getting back to "normal" activity. It seems like enough time to have had a look at what I wore during my pregnancy and to know what I really liked and what didn't work for me.  I showed really late, I was probably around 25-26 weeks before I had a bump that took me out of my normal clothes and even then I was still fairly small. Because of that I didn't really invest in maternity clothing. By the time I got to the point where things didn't fit or I didn't like how they fit I was less than 10 weeks from my due date. That said, we had 3 weddings to attend this year and my baby shower. I also worked until I went into labor, which was luckily a Sunday, so I did have to dress myself until the end. Another disclaimer, I was able to have a relaxed wardrobe for work which also kept me from buying more maternity wear and using what I had in my closet.

Mental Health Awareness Day


Hey guys!
Long time no chat! Honestly I've been feeling pretty crummy and stressing out over this video I've been working through. I know I've mentioned mental health a bit on here but decided that I wanted to sit down and just run through what actually goes on with me. The video was super long originally and pretty rambly so I cut it down to under 9 minutes which I think is way more watchable. It'll give you a quick overview of my own diagnosis and how I got to it.
Like I said it's not an in depth video because a) it would be super long and b) I don't know that anyone would really care. But if you are someone who is also struggling with their mental health or can relate maybe there's something in this for you!
I have personally felt very alone and isolated, in part because of my anxiety, but also because it can be very difficult to explain being anxious about something that is not really a big deal. For instance I HATE taking phone calls. I don't answer numbers I don't know. I will text or email to avoid a phone call and sometimes I get anxious over those as well, having the time to prepare a response does not always help me.
Those are just a few of my little mountains I climb everyday but you may have your own, or relate to mine, and maybe we can all talk about them. It really does make me feel 1000x better to hear I'm not the only one who can't flippantly respond to an email without over analyzing my response. So if you relate or wanna chat or don't that's cool too. All of my socials are @duh_naya and you guys can email me at duhnaya@yahoo.com (it is currently not connected to anything so I don't get any spam so if you do email me I'll be sure to see it). and that's all thanks for reading or watching or writing or just stopping by.
