Im A Liar.........

-------------------------------------------------

No, that isnt a trick tittle. I mean what i say.
I was going to vlog this but i just get too emotional and would end up looking more like an idiot.

I mentioned in yesterdays vlog that ive become this emotional wreck with this pregnancy. And well, you know me, i blog it all. I might get some flack for this, but this is MY blog. You dont have to read what i have to say here in my space on the internet, and i can write whatever i want to write about.
Ok, lets move on.

Ive always been AMAZING at wearing a mask. You know, not letting things show when im upset. Im the type of girl who puts a smile on even when i want to do anything BUT smile. What i mean is when certain situations happen, i pretend im not effected. I pretend im ok. And after a while, all the pretending becomes real.

Even with blogging, i have a lot of readers, and i get a lot of emails that people look up to me, that i motivate them, that ive helped them. Im no role model, but i feel like i need to set an example almost? And i hate blogging the negative stuff, like i might be letting people down. So i find myself pretending to be stronger then i really am, and holding back from things i really want to say or post about.

But with this pregnancy, im not able to wear the mask anymore.
My walls have crumbled around me and im left with just me.
The REAL me, with all my REAL feelings.

If you know me, you know that im one of the most positive outgoing people out there. I LOVE helping others, im all about bringing others up and making them feel good. I put others before myself ALL the time. I hide my own feelings to protect others. But you can only bottle yourself up for so long ya know? I take the hits like a champ and dont fight back in fear of hurting others. I am not the type to retaliate and throw knives back just as fast as they are thrown at me. And to be honest, i dont think that is a bad quality, but what IS bad, is that i dont deal with all the bottled hurt and pain.


And i think what hurts the most, is that im this motivator, this positive person, the one who picks people up. But the moment im down in the dumps and might be a little but ridiculous, thats when people leave my side. Thats when people choose to be the most hurtful. Ya know, the "kick me when im down" type thing. Maybe its just all in my head, but i feel like i get frowned upon and rejected when im not at my best. So i try to be the best, i try to hide the real emotions. Fake it till you make it.

If im upset, i DO NOT play the pity card and sit and sulk. What i normally do, is ignore the problem. I move on. I continue doing things that make me happy. I surround myself with people who make me happy. I cling to my husband and family. 

But now, for whatever reason, im unable to mask it all. Im just DEALING. Im left dwelling on the what if's. When the hits and stabs come, i have no more armor, my walls are down. All im left with now is just the hurt. The pain has become REAL. I have to no where to run anymore. Im down and on the ground with no more fight left in me.

I try to be strong. I try to stand up for things that are right.
I try to stand up for MYSELF instead of get pushed around.
I try to eliminate the negative in my life.
But i feel like it always ends up biting me in the rear more than anything.
Was it really worth it??

GUYS,
This is just ridiculous.. Im sure its just the pregnancy raging hormones but im just in a sad place right now for some reason. And i HATE it. Im normally so happy! Im sure it will pass soon and ill be back to my normal self. And DONT take this the wrong way, things with Jeff and our little family is PERFECT. HONESTLY things have never been better! Other things have just happened in my life and i guess im just dwelling on the hurt. I dont ONLY blog about the good stuff. I blog the not so pretty stuff too and i always keep it raw and REAL.

Basically, ive come to the realization that i need to realize im not super woman. Im not perfect. The feelings that i feel are normal and i need to deal with them. I cant ALWAYS put others before myself. I cant always pack away the things that i feel. I need just as much support as i like to give. I cant wear the masks anymore otherwise when my walls DO come down, im left with this ridiculous state of mind haha.

You cant neglect yourself.

I love you!!! keep that beautiful chin up! Sometimes it's just good to FEEL!!! Even if they're powerful emotions! Let it out. I love you!

Shary said...

You mean you're a real person with feelings? No way!

It is probably the pregnancy, but that doesn't mean it isn't valid. It's okay to be sad sometimes. Just think of this sadness as making up for all the sadness you hide on a regular basis. You're a strong person and that's fabulous! But sometimes the walls have to come down, even if we don't want them to.

Tracy said...

i have felt the same way on and off with my pregnancy, some days are better than others but especially in the beginning i was severely depressed and didn't know why. you are not alone and i love reading your words-- so inspiring and honest!

Scott and Amanda said...

Hey i got all caught up in all of the crazy that i forgot to congratulate you. Im so happy that you got pregnant my second one was such a shock for me i found out i was pregnant when my first little girl was 5 months old and i about had a break down. About is such a understatement. but then i realized that people plan and god laughs. And we are all on gods timeline. Im so so happy for you and my prayers are with you. and your little peanut. and of course your little family :) Congrats.

This post was amazing love. You touched the feelings I also have about blogging...sometimes I feel like people just don't want to read the hard times. They only want fluff. OR I feel like they DO want to read the hard times, but not the in between times..the "I'm meh" times.

Great post, I'm here, reading, and I don't judge you for having *GASP* actual feelings and stuff. I love you all the more for your honesty and strength <3 you have ever reason to be emotional. Pregnancy does that, but in addition to what you've been through? It's no surprise.

Hugs to you mama!

You are the most honest, sweetest, most caring person! I know you will get through these sad times. We all struggle and you are not alone!! Big hugs to you.xoxoxoxo Pretty lady!

Melanie said...

Ya know what Christa... I Like the heck out of you, even more now! Thanks for sharing this, I'm SO glad you did. Made me think, in a good way. Xo.

If you didn't ever feel sad, you couldn't truly appreciate the good times. As silly as it is, I think feeling a little sad does us all a bit of good sometimes. It still sucks monkey toes though! Heheee.)

everything is magnified during pregnancy, but those feeling are there and very real. if there's one thing i learned with kids is that it's OK to put yourself first. you have to be happy and healthy in order for your kids to be happy. a happy mama = happy kids. chin up, girl...you're awesome~

This sounds just like something I would like to say.

I'm not trying to be upsetting but I noticed you don't talk about your best friend much anymore. Did you guys have a falling out? I know that's really hard.. especially sense you have expressed that you don't have many people who really know you or that you are really close to.

My friend...I know I have been a little quiet on your blog lately, but that has absolutely nothing to do with you...I've been reading along every day, just been crazy busy and haven't commmented in a quite awhile...with that said, I ABSOLUTELY had to comment on this post...hon, you are one of the most real and honest people I know, and that is not a bad thing. There seriously needs to be more people in this world like you! You are amazing Christa, and you have your good and bad days. That's okay! You are wonderful and real, and that's how real people feel. You feel!! And that is amazing, cause it really sucks to be so numb that you don't feel anymore (trust me, I've been there before).

Love you hon...
♥ Kyna
