Can anyone ID this spider

I live in NJ and we get quite a few creepy crawlies this time of year where I live. I see this kind of spider a lot, and I am terrified of spiders. I don’t like the urge I get to squish, and I’m hoping maybe an ID will help me get over some of the fear? His pincers look like it would HURT tbh, I’m trying to be more conscious and less terrified of spiders, especially considering I don’t mind many other kinds of bugs. Thanks!

I didn’t really know which flair to put but I’m wondering if anyone else has had this issue.

Before I got pregnant I was always considered small or thin, but also had muscle so it was a toned thin. I gained almost 60lbs during my pregnancy, and after I had my son (im 11.5 pp) the weight came off very fast! I was relieved at first since I know it can sometimes be a struggle to lose the weight from pregnancy, and I don’t want to sound ungrateful but, I look sickly thin now.. I’ve lost all of my muscle and weight and none of my old clothes even fit anymore. I try to eat high calorie and high protein foods but I don’t notice much of a difference yet. I plan to begin exercising more especially as it’s getting much nicer outside near me.

Has anyone else dealt with this, will it be easier to gain weight once I stop breastfeeding? I plan to have another baby in the next year or so, and will be beginning to wean my son to hopefully 2 feeds a day (morning and night ideally.)

I just feel so strange in my body and I hate how thin I look. I’m so proud of my body for everything it’s done for me and my son but I’ve never had these issues with my self image and it’s been increasingly difficult to deal with.

Anyway, Thanks for listening!
