Doing it a little tough

Ava23Casual Contributor

Doing it a little tough

I'm doing it rough at the moment, I'm a mum to an almost 2year old. I had a meltdown almost 2 weeks ago and it's still lingering. I was self harming [edited by moderator]. I'm quiet low at the moment 😞

I'm up for friends or to chat

I'm so tired and exhausted all the time. I feel queasy all day, I hardly eat anything as I suffer with an eating disorder aswell 🙁

On a side note I'm currently into thriller books at the moment. Which gives me some sort of joy not allot but it keeps me busy and distracted.

Re: Doing it a little tough

hi @Ava23 ,

Welcome to the forums!

I read that you are doing it tough at the moment. Having an almost 2 year old can be tough on the best of days. Motherhood is a constant. There's no time for anything else.

Do you feel your sleep has been affected? A lack of sleep can certainly make things worse.

Have you spoken to a professional about how you have been feeling lately?

At the same time, I might move your conversation over to the Lived Experience forum.

I hope you find you can chat and connect with others who may be feeling a similar way.

Hj @tyme

I knew you were special.

A Magician too to your resume.

That was as good as a rabbit in a hat.

It was there, then gone.

Amazing!

@tyme @Ava23

Things happen all the time.

That is not an ineffeciency.

That is life.

Sometimes a person l call, the phone drops out. They say Why? Why? I say we are talking again. Things happen.

Hopefully @Ava23 replies when ready

Lol, I won't go as far as a 'magician'. @Former-Member

I've always told people/kids that magicians are just very clever scientists lol.

That's my opinion though.

I'm glad I could retrieve the posts. I had sent them to timbuktu!

Re: Doing it a little tough

hi @Ava23 and welcome

as someone who also suffers from self harm urges they can be really hard to manage and an eating disorder
can i ask if you have some supports in place to help you manage?

we have lots of parents here as well that im sure could resonate with struggling with mental health as well has having a child/ren


@Snowie @Faith-and-Hope @Bunniekins may be able to offer some support in this case
