Hello
Evening, so lonely right now. Life hasn't gone to plan. One wants to be around me but they do tell me why. I just get cut off. How can I improve myself if I don't know

Re: Hello
@marchhare I've been a bit quiet on the forum front lately lol - actually taking time away but figure this time of night there is less likelihood of 'coming across' too many people in distress and therefore less triggering. I can hear you already starting to type that that is often me at this time of night lol
@Leglessfrog078 that is all very hard. When life takes such a sharp turn it is very hard to cope with the changes - and being on your own with 3 kids makes it even tougher

Re: Hello
It's beyond hard now. I don't have the right skill for this. I've tried, really really tired just to keep falling and failing. My kids deserve better then me

Re: Hello
@Leglessfrog078 You have been through a lot and it is no wonder you feel like you do but just reaching out here for support shows courage 
Anyone with the courage to leave a DV relationship after so long and then to 'date' again (however that has worked out) shows they do have the strength to keep going. Yes it is tiring and it does get on top of you far more than it doesn't but that is why seeking support is so important - and you have taken that first step here - that in itself is impressive

Hi @Zoe7, just saw your post. Haven't chatted for ages. I'm here if you are still around and would like company.

hi Zoe7, it all seems pretty quiet at this end. The early bird morning crew should be stirring soon.

Re: Hello
Hello and welcome to the forums @Leglessfrog078. Well done in reaching out to someone for some support. We all need support sometimes, no matter how strong or resilient we may be. I'm so sorry that it sounds like you dont have support from either your family or your ex partner. 3 children at the age of yours is a handful for anyone, much less someone trying to do it all on their own.
Have you spoken to your GP about how you are feeling @Leglessfrog078? There is help that you can receive, and generally your GP is the first point of call at which you should go to seek some assistance. I would strongly urge you to make an appointment and go see them at your earliest opportunity. Tell them how you feel, be honest, and tell them you need help.
In the meantime, I feel sure that other forum members will come and talk to you over the coming days. Its just that you joined up at a time most people were hopefully in bed asleep. I'm sure you will find that the support and understanding you receive from other members here will be helpful and comforting to you. @marchhare @Mazarita @Faith-and-Hope @Shaz51.
@Zoe7 - I am so sorry I didnt come on here in the wee hours of the morning. I could have kept you company for a while. I was awake, but tried to do some mindfulness. Sadly it was not very successful. So its now almost 8am and I am more tired than when I went to bed last night at midnight. Its true I havent seen you around much for some days. And I am sorry you felt lonely last night.
For @Zoe7 and @Leglessfrog078, this is for you. I hope today is a better day for you, and all others who happen to be reading.

Hi @Leglessfrog078
I see you were up late/early this morning and wondered how you were getting on today? I too have kids and do it on my own after leaving an abusive relationship. It is so hard sometimes and things can very easily get on top of me and I start getting overwhelmed. I can relate to the feelings of wanting to run away, of life not going to plan, and of failure.
Sorry to hear you lack the support of family and friends 🙁 How long has it been since you separated (if you feel comfortable answering)?
I think there is a lot to the saying "it takes a village to raise a child", and too often that village is missing or the people in it make things harder.
Feeling alone seems to magnify the problems I face, and it helps me a lot to know I am not alone here. We're not alone here.
I hope the day ahead has something that feels good for you. Keep connecting here if it helps.
