Separation Anxiety Step 1: Calm after the birth of my son.
Separation Anxiety Step 2: Feelings of anxiety begin, I feel phantom movement in my womb, and a feeling of disconnect with my child.
Separation Anxiety Step 3: Starting to fall apart, I feel like the threads of my sanity are unraveling as my anxiety heightens.
Separation Anxiety Step 4: False front: I look finished and settled, however inside I am missing my child. I am missing the fact that I can no longer have children; he is my last one.
Separation Anxiety Step 5: I am resigned to never having any more children, I am torn apart inside. I have my babies, but because I can have no more, I feel somewhat less than I did before. Only a few threads are keeping me together while the rest of me seemingly disintegrates.
