Sydel Curry-Lee Opens Up About Why She Hasn't Been Active On IG Lately

Sydel Curry-Lee wants her social media followers to know why she hasn't been super active on social media lately.

Wife of Phoenix Suns star Damion Lee, Curry-Lee is currently pregnant with their second child and her pregnancy hasn't exactly been the same as the last time around when she was pregnant with their son Daxon.

Curry-Lee wanted to open up about why she's been a bit less present on social media during this pregnancy. She shared a series of Instagram Stories to explain and "vent."

"I just want to be real. Because I feel like I haven't been super present on here and I don't have to be but I kind of do this as my job in a sense, but I just have not been really present, super present, super consistent on social media basically my whole pregnancy because this is a very, very different pregnancy than my last one with Daxon," she said.

"I had the experience of having an amazing pregnancy of just like no problems, could be pregnant forever, I felt myself, the whole nine. It was an amazing pregnancy with Daxon, but this one right here."

Her next Story slide explained that she struggles with not being real, or "make things fake" to hide how she's really feeling in real life on social media.

"Because of my lack of ability to do so, I just kind of refrain from coming on here because I don't want to be a Debbie downer. I don't want to be super negative. I want to be real," she said.

She explained that when she does get real about things like that, she gets a lot of feedback about how she shouldn't be complaining. Being sensitive and struggling with anxiety makes it difficult to hear that type of feedback because it affects her.

"I don't think that me coming on here being real about how I feel, I don't think it's negative. I would never, ever look at someone, especially if they're pregnant, and hear them talk about their real life experience being pregnant and not being great and think that oh my God they're just being negative, they're complaining. I will never think that about someone because this stuff is hard," she said.

"But when you come on here and you try to be real and people are just telling you you're just being negative and you're not being grateful for all that you're going through, that will make you want to run for the hills, and I've been running for the hills."

Curry-Lee explained that physically she's healthy and so is the baby, but mentally "it's just been rough. I just do not feel like myself." It's a new feeling for her because her last pregnancy made her feel really excited and feeling mentally great.

"My mental health was great when I was pregnant with Daxon," she said. "But it's really struggling and I'm just struggling to get through everyday without being mean or just sad."

The next Story slide was all about how she can't wait to have the baby so she can mentally feel like herself again and have more control over her mental health.

Curry-Lee then shared some gratitude and positivity to end her explanation about why she's been sort of quiet on social media.

"I'm grateful that this is just a season of my life," she said. "A necessary season to get what we've been praying for, what we want and that's a family of two kids, healthy kids that we can love and raise."

The social media influencer and mental health advocate ended her conversation by giving a message to others who are struggling with something similar.

"If you're also feeling like I'm feeling and you're feeling like I wanted this and it's not fun, it's stressful, it's emotional, I've never been more emotional in my life," she said. "If you're there with me, it's just a season, we're gonna get through it. There's light at the end of the tunnel."
