Something’s not right

What’s next?

What’s next?

Sitting here listening to the bird noises (I would like to say bird song but there is too many different sounds) As I said in my getting start post, I have hit rock bottom and slipped into a crack and it has me wondering what now! I know the only way is up (as I sing that one line from a song I can't remember the rest of the words too) In my last session I finally got it, the only hand that can pull me out is my own and that scares me due to the lack of faith, well the lack of anything in myself to succeed.

So here I am, stripped raw not a memory left unexplored (that I am aware of) no secrets hidden. Now I get to start again, putting it all back together bit by bit. I know there will be lots of times I may fall backwards but I am hoping that I won't get stuck there.

Good morning friends, 1 hour and 7 minutes to go before I pick up my puppy. Can’t sit still so excited.

Re: What’s next?

Hi friends, one of the things I still struggle with is if there is more than 2 other people in my home. Right now we are in the middle of our fortnightly dinner with my son and I can’t sit still for long, I have more smokes than I would normally would just to escape the lounge room. It really causes me

a lot of emotional pain and adds to the feeling of I am a bad mother. I am dreading the next family birthday as all the kids will be home so that’s 9 people here. I am working on what tools I can use to cope better. Thanks for listening, huge hugs to you all

Hello @Bellarose75 ,

I'm sorry that things are so challenging at the moment. Sounds tough in that you have to find ways to 'escape'.

I'm not sure of the context around 'being a bad mother'. However, I realise these are real feelings for you at the moment.

You are welcome to 'unload' some of these feelings here if you think it will help. Perhaps other mothers/parents can share their experiences with you.

Sitting with you,

tyme
