My kids are the ONLY reason I keep fighting. Otherwise I would have been gave up.

Hi lightattheend, I know that feeling all too well. I'm a single Mum,not by choice, and they've been my reason for living. I'm still struggling with depression but I'm not in that dark place I use to be. It's ok to do things that bring YOU happiness too. What brings happiness to people isn't the same for everyone; like I enjoy gardening or doing home improvements and cooking or going out for dinner with a friend, it's ok to do these things, in fact it's good for our children to see us doing things that make us happy. I hope you can find a few things that make you smile and laugh too. My kids are teens and young adults now , still living at home,and I noticed too that I love just being around them now that we can enjoy similar things , like just watching movies together or going out for a meal; infact theyre probably my favourite people to be with. I'm off to church now so can't Chat ,but if you are suffering please feel free to msg me if you need encouragement and hope. I've been through a lot and am very understanding of depression and anxiety if this is what you're going through ❤️

Thank you so much for the response and great advice. I also enjoy being around my kids and doing things with them when I feel up to it , but I do need to try to find other things that make me happy because now it's only them. Blessings and thanks again.
