Struggling with weekends

Struggling with weekends

A month ago the guy I was seeing for the last year decided I wasn't for him and broke up with me. Honestly it wasn't a great relationship, there were alot of doubts in feelings, not feeling completely comfortable with each other and both with mental health issues playing on each other.

Since then I have really struggled with my weekends. Despite having 3 kids with me constantly and a house to run I just can't seem to escape the funk. Through the week I have work to escape in and kids before bed and by then I'm exhausted and go to sleep.

Weekends I wake up lonely, wish I had someone to have a coffee with, share things with and enjoy life with. I just can't shake the feeling and have spent the majority of the weekend in tears, hiding from people so they don't see me cry and hating myself because I dont know why I am so disposable to people.

I don't know how I get back to just me being me.. alone

Re: Struggling with weekends

That's a great start @Bb82 . You can speak to the GP about how you've been feeling and what's been going on for you.

Seeing these feelings have been for a while now, I think it would be good to reach out.

Also, have you heard of our guided service? I wonder if you live in a area that is legible.

You can have a look here if you are interested: https://www.sane.org/referral

Re: Struggling with weekends

I can really relate to this. Years back I went through the same. I would be fine and busy during the week with work, but the weekends were dreadful. I was newly single with no kids and living alone. I had lost most of my friends with my diagnosis. It was a bleak time. I cried a lot. Then I discovered www.meetup.com and it changed my life. I live in a city and there are hundreds of different meetup groups here. If I wanted to I could go to meetups everyday. I got socially busy and started having a great time. Check it out.
