I feel so alone

[Tamka40]

Is Easier and Im not cooking or dress and not ready to go to church. I feel so bad and don't know why. I use to love holidays and cooking for my kids and going to but now I'm so lost and I prayed all night. Feel like I'm being punish or I'm a bad person.

Hello

You are certainly not a bad person and certainly this is not anything punishing you but you are suffering with anxiety and sometimes it can be a struggle to do the things we used to enjoy , it is all part of the illness

So today has not started of so good but maybe as the day goes on you may feel like doing a little something ?

I think when we are recovering and getting better from suffering from anxiety we have to make new routines , one's that fit in with how we feel now until we are feeling well enough to do the things we used to do , so set smaller goals that you can achieve so you don't feel as if you are letting yourself down when you cannot reach the bigger one's as yet , little steps and with each one you will get to where you once were

Take Care x

Thank u I needed to hear that rightnow. Because I'm blaming myself rightnow. And I just want to run away from everything. I just don't like my kid's seeing me like this.

Hello

So many times I have felt like running away over the years but then I realized I will still take me with me just to a different place so best staying where I am and working on myself

Your kids love you no matter what believe me and also mine are all grown up now and I was like you when they were younger and it has had no effect on them at all , they remember all the good times not the bad one's , kids are very resilient and the more we worry over these things the longer it takes are recovery , you would not be punishing yourself if you had a physical condition and your kids saw you trying to get better so why punish yourself because your mind is unwell and is recovering ?

Plenty of cuddles , reading a book with them and have a joke when you feel up to it with them and they will be fine x
