Feeling very lonely in the holidays

We are on our summer holidays at the moment and it's just me and the kids. I feel very lonely and down. My family don't understand my illness and I am very misunderstood. They just igmore me.

My children are wonderful but I still feel very sad which makes my pain and fatigue worse.

Sorry to hear ypu are feeling this way unfortunately I don't have much words of wisdom just to say try and focus on the positives in life to get you through the hard times if you didn't have your kids behind you how much worse would it be thank god they are there. If on holidays and assuming there is a beach near by get out for a walk the sea air is very therapeutic. Maybe do a plan of action for how you are going to change things maybe join a community class to get out of the house and change up your routine a bit it may give you a boost to be doing something productive it doesn't have to be anything strenuous see what options are available to you and see if anything takes your fancy maybe. Try make regular lunch dates with friends also mine always leave me feeling uplifted more so then family. Best of luck and enjoy your holiday x

A lot of mine are to it's not easy just take it a day at a time maybe plan a break away wherever they are so you can look forward to seeing them. Hope things turn around for you soon x

What wonderful kids who will grow into kida adults. Try to make one day a week extra special, watch a tv programme together or a box set get some cheap snacks I think they would like that and at least you can rest with them.

We do watch programmes together but I feel like it's hard to get emotional support from children. They are too young to understand. Thanku 🥰
