Welcome to the world of “JustMelo” where I am just a mom. just a wife. just a small business owner who is just overwhelmed and an empath. I have gone through a whirlwind over the last 4 years. I lost my mother-in-law in an untimely way. It has profoundly affected my husband. He is a whole other person in many ways. so am I. That happened in 2018… then Covid hit. I realized that I needed mental help. My anxiety had skyrocketed!!! I watched a woman fight to live for 5 months. I was at the hospital everyday of that fight. Have you ever watched someone fight and slowly succumb? Then before I know it. people are dropping like flies from pandemic!! People that I knew!! People in their 40s like me. I started to realize that I was overwhelmed. I realized that I was taking wayyyyy too much from MANY people. It was showing up in me yelling at my kids, emotionally eating, doing things I did not want to do and of course being resentful in my decisions.
In my community mental health and getting help has not been something to celebrate. I started posting about my journey and got MANY comments and private messages. In that moment I knew I had to make my journey public. So welcome to JustMelo… a world where I am learning to say no, focusing on being happier and saving money. I’ve always loved to save money. I am not a size zero, and I know many women who also looking for deals and clothes that make us feel cute again.
