Hey there. You CAN do this! You have something money cannot buy to motivate you: your children. Whenever you let, and yes I say let, depression and anxiety get to you, get up, out of bed ... whatever ... and fight it by doing something planned each and every day. Solitude with nothing meaningful to do will mentally bury you. Please do not under any circumstances let that happen.

Get a notepad and pen and start to plan your weekly schedule ... even if going for walks or going out for a coffee. Find a hobby that you might enjoy. VOLUNTEER! DANCE! You MUST get out of the house. Can't stress that enough. Make it meaningful. Make it FUN. Use your time positively and reflect on what has happened and why. What have you discovered about yourself? What types of things and/thoughts can you repeat and importantly, what you can't?

I'm told it takes two weeks to establish new routines. You MUST force yourself to get through those weeks and then things will slowly start to get easier ... step by step.

Most of all BE proactive and stay positive ... you cannot WAIT for change to happen. YOU have to work at making the changes happen. Go with the flow and learn to roll with certain punches that may come your way because nothing but nothing is as important as getting children back ... right?

Continue to post. We will listen ... and cheer you on this journey.

Before I forget, there's a way to lock your posts so that only members of this community can see them. From my understanding, anyone on the web can see your posts/pictures if you don't.

Bless.
