Family and Friends Forum

I hear you Katie, this must be so difficult for you but today try and do something positive for yourself, go on a walk, book a trip away, or have a pamper day and try and reassociate Sundays with something more pleasurable. Very different circumstances now for me but Saturdays used to be my hardest day, it was the day our whole family would meet up for a meal together, it wasn't the meal I missed but the whole family being together. I had to introduce other things to look forward to as my therapist at the time told me it was easy to ruminate on days that had routines that are now different (if that makes sense).
Thinking of you and hope things get easier for you. Xxx

I agree with with Katie28. Every year the day of the knock i have tried to something fun. This is so that though it keeps the day relevant in my brain, it also helps to have memories of a fun time. I would not forget the day anyway. I realise it is harder as Sunday is every week. How about you let yourself go with your feelings for a short space of time. For example, an hour, and then after say enough now, and do something for you. Easier said than done, but each week it will become a little easier to do. I do this when i am very down. I allow these feelings to be unchecked for a sort period, almost an indulgence and then make myself do something for me. Over time it trains you to be able to move on albeit slowly.
