SH

@Serenity1

@Serenity1 Maybe it is a good thing that the SH did not distract enough from your other worries, as sometimes it can get dangerous and be hard to recover from physically.

I read your other post about Shame and guilt. It sounds as if you were carrying a huge load. It took a long time before I could really face some of my behaviours and be kind enough to myself to forgive them.

I just kept returning to metta ... the buddhist loving kindness meditation ... it was the only that worked for me . .. tho something else might help you.

Take Care and Hugz

@Serenity1

Just walking with you.

Fear can be paralysing.

Simply taking next step is a good way to go.

Also napping and marking time when that is needed as well.

The 24/7 nature of parenting needs more attention.

Give yourself lots of self care. @Serenity1

I gave myself a hard time for long time.

Cant say I am good at that but I am doing my research and learning about it too, often from people on here.

Just the being on call all the time adds a level of stress. Particularly if there is no other support or a sense of a village around the mother and child.
