We got the knock 4 months ago. I feel like my OH continues to make my life hell as I still have to see him for supervised visits with my son. Every time I see him he is so pitiful and feels so sorry for himself and simply won't accept our relationship is over. We also now have to sell our house as he lost his job. I am so angry but more than anything hideously anxious, laying awake worrying I will never be free of him. And that I have to tell my wonderful son we have to move from the home he loves. He is already struggling with our split and that his dad is being investigated by the police. I have amazing friends and support but for the first time I feel like I can't cope.

Bad day for me today too. Just wanted to let you know I totally get you anxiety wise and feeling like you're not coping though my situation is different as my person and I are still together though living apart which all brings its own problems and worries . This is by far the biggest trauma the majority of us have ever been through and even though it understandable that we get these low days and thoughts some days we just handle it better than others . Please do not think you're alone . Every single one of us on here have some understanding of what your going through even if our experiences are slightly different . Fingers crossed for a better day tomorrow xx

Is it the weather? Is it a full moon? I am full of anxiety today for no particular reason too (apart from the waiting for my life to fully implode, obvs).



Virtual hugs to you both.

I am right there with you this week. Keep thinking I must be at rock bottom... but no, seems there are still further depths to sink into. All things pass.

I'm sorry your experiencing such strong feelings of being overwhelmed. It will pass and as time progresses these periods do become less frequent & powerful. I hope you find the strength to navigate through them & I'm glad you are being supported. Have you considered or discussed stopping contact until you feel stronger to manage the turmoil they are causing for you and your son. You will need emotional resilience and to build your strength, it sounds like these visits may be hindering your development of both xx
