"Usher said it best, "If I'm gonna tell it, I gotta tell it all," and that's exactly what the moms are doing this week in Scary Mommy Confessions. The holidays are hard enough without all of us battling a million other thoughts and worries. Some of us are stressed about our kids, about our finances, about our relationships. Some of us are grieving this holiday season, and some of us are feeling completely pummeled by life."
"Some of us feel mostly fine, but all the little nagging things to do every single day - from taking care of our pets to dealing with neighbors - start to add up and send us deep into a hole. And you know what? It's all completely normal. So no matter which end of the spectrum you fall into, just know that you're not alone."
Mothers are publicly confessing their holiday struggles and emotional burdens, embracing frankness and vulnerability. The holiday season compounds existing stresses including childcare concerns, financial strain, relationship challenges, and grief. Accumulated daily tasks — like caring for pets and managing neighbor issues — intensify overwhelm and can lead to feeling overwhelmed or in a hole. The message emphasizes that such reactions are common and validates varied emotional states across a spectrum. Anonymous confession options are available through weekly Instagram callouts, and past confessions remain accessible for reading. The practice fosters connection and reassurance that no one is alone during difficult times.
