Struggling today
Notifications OFF
No new developments or anything but today I'm really struggling. I worry every day about the future, my kids , money etc but today it just all feels ten times worse . I can't believe this is actually my life , that it's not a bad joke or a dream I'm going to wake up from and everything will be back to normal. My life will never be normal again . I will never be the person I was again . We will never be the couple and family we were again . Thank God for my children. At the moment they are the only things keeping me putting one foot in front of the other .
Sorry to sound so 'woe is me' when you are all going through your own s***and please don't think anyone has to respond but it helps to know that others understand what I'm going through. I'm not a good one talking about my feelings and worries especially to strangers and my biggest support who usually calms me down has her own troubles at the moment so I don't want to burden her . Thinking of you all , none of us deserve this life xx

Every single word you write excactly maps my own experiences and feelings. Not sure I have any advice to give, but sending support, strength and serenity.
this life is s**t, and sometimes reading that other people feel exactly how you do is strangely comforting, if that makes any sense? you feel so alone and desperate at times, seeing someone put it into words how you feel makes you realise you're not the only one.
It is horrible and hard and we all understand.
It does get easier. No, you will never be the same again, you will be stronger, because if you can navigate you way thought this shitstorm, you can take on the world and win xxx

I found the 18 months prior to sentencing incredibly overwhelming, sentencing brought new trauma and further feelings of being completely overwhelmed as the outcome was completely unexpected. I then found that I started to adapt to my new temporary normal. Don't get me wrong it was far from easy but it emphasised how strong & resilient I am. My husbands heart attack 2 weeks into his custodial sentence threw everything into perspective for me.
Life is short, much of life's event are out of your control, you only have the present, you can't change what's happened and have to roll with what comes.
I allow my feelings to sit with me and I accept that they are all valid but I refuse to let them control me. I also refuse to allow this event to define my whole relationship as we are so much more than this. Our life journey has changed but I choose to continue it with him. I'm the calmest I've been in my whole life.
All of our journeys are different, as are our circumstances & situations. Your path may have changed but your life journey continues. Do what you need to do to travel it with strength xx

I feel just like you today. Some weeks feel better and some weeks feel just awful. I think what I've realised is that reaching out for support does help. It does not help the awful situation as such but it does make you feel less alone. I posted on here earlier and the support does help. Then chatted to one of my lovely friends. You are not alone. Sending love x
