I think we’re all extremely exhausted right now. From school and activities and responsibilities back in full swing, from upcoming holidays and traditions to prep for, and from, of course, the news cycle, it’s easy to see how all of us moms are feeling just a little... phew. You know. Add in everything else, and suddenly we’ve got some things to confess.

From the extremely mundane to the extremely direct, these confessions from Scary Mommy Confessions are going to make you feel seen. Whether you can relate to the specific confession or not, I think we all know what it’s like to feel like we’re floating outside of our own bodies and trying to hold onto all of the changes and spins life gives us each day. And while we’re holding on, we might just need to let it all out.
