I am feeling very unsettled and I’m drinking my anxiety away right now. My mr has hurt me emotionally to the point that I don’t know how to cope.
I don’t want to feel like this anymore 💐
@Faith-and-Hope @Sophia1@frog@boot and anyone else who cares

Morning @Nay69 @CheerBear ..... 👋💕
Late nights caught up with me last night and I dozed off “early” ..... I am traditionally an early riser, but mysleep patterns are being affected by my husband’s bedtime regimen. I have to try to sort myself out around it better than I am at the moment .....
I have to get out for an early morning coffee to hear the birds here .... might do that this morning cos I don’t have uni today .... in my jammies if I can get away with it ...., they look like street clothes if I throw on a hoodie and scarf.

Hahaha @CheerBear ..... that’s because I often buy street clothes that look like jammies ...... I started doing that so I could roll out of bed and go ...... it is one of my coping mechanisms to try to get more sleep happening when things are tough, but I have to set boundaries re. showering and changing.
I have a “shower menu” that I have mentioned on forum before, ranging from baby-wipe sponge off with deodorant (portable “shower”) through a shower-before-pool-in-bathers, to a hand-basin wash, to a shower-shower ...... a standard of clean is all that is required. I had three babies under 2yo, one with major health issues and surgery at 7months old ...... so you work out things you can do to get by and still look after yourself.
And it gives me a bit of a giggle too ...... 😏
I hope you have a good day at work today @Nay69, and that there are people there who treat you well.
