Connecting Reborn Mothering and Mental Illness

Are you over 40-ish? If so, your body is going through or has been going change. Hormonal changes happen throughout your lifetime. After the age of 40, my body began to change. I had heard about menopause and was not quite ready for the it. Let’s dive in.

The Three Stages of Menopause

Did you know there are three stages of menopause? Menopausal symptoms vary from one person to the next. Although it typically shows up in the early 50s, some women go through menopause in their 30s. However, it is very rare. I wasn’t diagnosed with anxiety until my early 40s. In my mid-50s my menstrual period ended. Most likely menopause caused my anxiety.

Grief - After a Loss

The Three Stages of Menopause: 

  1. Perimenopause
  2. Menopause
  3. Post menopause
Have you experienced 12 consecutive months without your period? Guess what? You are in menopause. During menopause the female eggs dry up and your child-bearing days are over.
 
One of the biggest challenges is having hot flashes and vaginal dryness. Menopause causes anxiety and depression. As well as excessive sadness and a host of other conditions. The upside of menopause, for me, was the thought of no more maxi pads and tampons.
 

Babies Bring out Feelings of Happiness

Having a baby around can promote feelings of happiness and joy. The next best thing that could brighten up a mother’s day would be taking up a hobby. 
 
One of the latest craze for older women adopting and caring for realistic baby dolls. These dolls give the caregivers many memorable experiences in childcare. In fact, they offer a therapeutic benefit. They help reduce anxiety and depression. This is a meaningful experience for many women..
 

Reborns can be a Coping Mechanism

Misunderstanding Miscarriages

While one mother may experience fear, confusion and ambivalence after a miscarriage, another may describe her miscarriage as a big relief. Others may be totally silent or even count their miscarriage as a blessing from above. Every reaction to a miscarriage is different
 

Reborns Add Value to Your Life

A reborn baby doll can add value to one’s life. Unlike a real baby, reborns come with no real-world mess. For instance, there are no diapers, no smells, no feeding, no crying and they never grow up into toddlers. They never get a chance to say “I hate you.” This is a real plus for reborn moms.
 
We must not judge women who have reborns. Stop being bias and judgmental about the choices people make. Instead, why not show empathy and understanding? There is no harm in having a hobby that shows love and care for a reborn baby doll. We need to open our minds and show empathy and understanding. It would be a miscarriage of justice to think otherwise.
