The Schizophrenic Mom
Bio
I am a mother of 2 precious angels who drive me slightly more crazy
than I already am with a diagnosis of schizophrenia.
When asked "are you crazy?!" my favorite come back is:
"yes! And I have the papers to prove it! How about you?" LOL

Perseverance... First Update
I was supposed to write this update in the beginning of April 2025, but I was intensely grieving the loss of my pregnancy. I am giving myself grace to persevere as I am able to - especially with the loss my little family endured as well as accepting my newest diagnosis and choosing to provide myself with medically indicated accommodations that other medical entities and providers have yet to provide me.

Be at Peace... Baby M&M. Content Warning.
I don't want to say goodbye. I hated seeing that empty ultrasound screen. I have no idea how to process this. I have no idea how to tell your siblings. I don't want to talk about it. I shouldn't have gone in to check.

Baby M^2
Dear Baby M "Jane" & Baby M "Thomas/Tom", I'm praying that you both are alright. I am refusing to let any provider check on you guys... because I am so scared. I am scared that I have failed to protect you both and I am afraid that if I find out for sure that I will break completely.

Valuable Life Lessons. Content Warning.
I finally decided that so many people in my life were right. Everyone deserves the benefit of the doubt and as long as serious injury is avoided, no one really cares. So with that concept in mind, I swallowed a double shot of whiskey and went out to remove the carseats from my vehicle.

Baby M^2. Content Warning.
Dear sweet babes, I keep wondering if I am feeling you kick. I know that it is still early, but... I feel little butterflies at times. I know that it is probably just gas, but... I hope that it is you guys! Your siblings told me that they felt you, so maybe?!

Baby M^2
Dear little ones, I finally got in to see my OB. It was good because I had been told that I might be bleeding because one or two may be "vanishing." Vanishing twin syndrome is what the OB said, but it didn't make sense with 3 little bodies... I guess that is the only name for it though.

Baby M^3
Dear Baby M^3, Blood work is so confusing. Making decisions is so hard right now for you guys... everything is hard. Your daddy got me some of the blood work that the OB I found said that she needed to know. I am confused by my blood work and medical history.
