I think many people think pregnancy fixes mental illness and they often do not realise that it makes it worse. The fact that your take away from a depressed person experiencing an episode because there is a foreign body in their body, is to call them a weirdo and you can not empathize with the mentally ill, worries me about how much we know about pregnancy, mental health and the intersection between the two. 
          
          Sometimes I wish we would do research on our biases to find more and know more instead of assuming our view on an experience we have never had, is right.

I feel like recently, a lot of the people reading my stories, don't come to my profile. 
          
          1.) I don't want to overtly state that all my FMCs are neurodivergent
          2.) This means, they all have anxiety and depression. 
          3.) A lot of how the characters think, act, and react are their actions I have taken in the past or how I would react in a situation. (Being mentally ill and neurodivergent) 
          4.) My FMCs are South African, Sotho women, they were raised to be South African Sotho women, I don't write in Sesotho because I am not as fluent in it as I used to be. 
          5.) My characters act the way they do because they are fictional. It's pretend. 
          6.) There is also so much subtext that so many people miss and it makes me want to cry. None of my characters are one-dimensional, the reasons are beneath the writing, I promise. 
          7.) I try my best with the spelling, but I am dyslexic, and even with the help of apps like Grammarly, I get the words really, really wrong
          
          So when they act a certain way, that you probably wouldn't, maybe it's because they are mentally ill...
