I keep seeing conversations about postpartum psychosis lately, and I really think thereā€™s a huge misunderstanding about what it actually is.

Postpartum psychosis is not the same thing as postpartum depression or postpartum anxiety. Itā€™s a severe psychiatric emergency that can involve delusions, hallucinations, paranoia, confusion, mania, and a genuine loss of contact with reality.

And I think that distinction mattersā€¦ especially when weā€™re discussing cases involving postpartum mental illness.

You can recognize that someone committed a horrific act while also trying to understand what severe mental illness can do to a personā€™s ability to perceive reality. Understanding postpartum psychosis isnā€™t the same as excusing what happened.

I also think we do mothers a disservice when we lump PPD, PPA, and postpartum psychosis together as though theyā€™re different degrees of the same thing. They arenā€™t.

There needs to be so much more education surrounding postpartum mental healthā€¦ not only for mothers, but for spouses, families, medical professionals, and the general public.

Do you think postpartum psychosis is misunderstood because so many people confuse it with postpartum depression?

Day 12 without power after the derecho in northwest Indiana, and I think weā€™ve officially reached survival mode. šŸ« 

The house is upside down, the cleaning can wait, and any motivation I had left disappeared somewhere around day 2. šŸ˜… At this point, Iā€™m just incredibly thankful for our generator keeping the fans running and our phones charged.

I had never even heard the word derecho before this happened. Now itā€™s a word I donā€™t think Iā€™ll ever forget.

12 days without electricity with five kids was definitely not on my summer bingo card. šŸ˜­ Hereā€™s hoping weā€™re getting close to the end of this. šŸ¤žšŸ¼ The laundry pile has officially developed its own ecosystem. We donā€™t talk about her. šŸ«

I had never even heard the word derecho until we experienced one for the first time.

This is what I saw from our window before I ran back downstairs with my family. I donā€™t think Iā€™ll ever forget how quickly the sky changed or how terrifying those few minutes felt.

Now weā€™re on day 10 without power, heading into day 11 tomorrow, and our current restoration estimate isnā€™t until August 25th. šŸ„²

Northwest Indiana was not prepared for this. I definitely wasnā€™t either. šŸ•ÆļøšŸ¤

What is a derecho? A derecho (pronounced roughly ā€œdeh-RAY-choā€) is a large, fast-moving line of severe thunderstorms that produces widespread, damaging straight-line winds.

The big distinction is that itā€™s not a tornado. A tornadoā€™s destructive winds rotate around a relatively narrow area. A derecho can produce intense winds across a huge swath of land, sometimes hundreds of miles long, as the storm system races forward.

To officially be classified as a derecho, the wind-damage path generally needs to extend at least 400 miles (650 km), with widespread damaging gusts of 58+ mph, including several well-separated gusts of 75+ mph.

Thatā€™s why derechos can cause such enormous power outages: instead of one small tornado damage path, trees, poles, and power lines can be damaged across an entire region at once.

Northwest Indiana was NOT prepared for this. Especially me. Wellā€¦ besides the fact that Iā€™m whimsy enough to own an unreasonable amount of battery-operated candles. šŸ˜‚ I didnā€™t even know what a derecho was until we lived through one.

Day 9 without power. At this point I donā€™t even remember who I was when we had electricity. šŸ•ÆļøšŸ˜­

Coming from someone whoā€™s been a content creator for 9 years now, Iā€™m embarrassed. This is the content I can offer you right now. Ignore my homeā€¦. I told myself Iā€™m not cleaning until we have power.

Another year of homeschooling is almost here, and I honestly donā€™t know how summer went by so fast. šŸ„¹ Iā€™m not quite ready for it to end, but I am so excited to watch my boys grow, learn, and discover new things this year.

One thing that surprised me last year? We didnā€™t use our homeschool room nearly as much as I expected. I still absolutely love having this space, but most of our lessons happened around the kitchen table or curled up in the living room. Thereā€™s just something so cozy about learning wherever life happens.

I think weā€™ll be starting after Labor Day this year. šŸ¤

When do you start school? And if you homeschool, when are you planning to begin?
