Restoring my self belief

[Teddysmum43]

I think I've had a bit of epiphany(spelling?) overnight thanks to my 16 year old daughter. I went to see her teachers yesterday(she is doing a levels). She is doing very well and I was incredibly proud of her. It was a big achievement for me to go as I was feeling awful in myself and I kept thinking that she is coping with all this and I can't cope with one day a week at college. However at 3 this morning she came into my bedroom having a panic attack that she couldn't cope,bless her. I got her to calm down and this morning I realised she is suffering from lack of self belief then I realised that's exactly what has happened to me. Over the years my self belief has got less and less especially since having fibromyalgia.

So I am going to try to build my self belief back up again. I know it's not going to happen overnight but if I can make it my goal to work towards I think that can only be a good thing. I'm going to use what happened with my course tutor as a way of learning how to cope again. If I can learn to cope with someone so challenging instead of running away like I usually do then I can become stronger.

I've already changed my therapy session so I don't have it the day before I have college(just too many emotions one on top of the other).

I going to use this blog to help me keep my eyes on my goal. It's going to be a journey but I'm sure it will be worth it. Thank you to everyone who is supporting me.

I am so pleased to hear that you are feeling a lot more positive about things. I too look forward to hearing how things are going. Take small steps to start with so you are not overwhelmed.

You are already a big achiever, you have brought up a bright, clever daughter, who is doing A levels. Plus you persevered last night to calm her down and re-instil her own belief.

Well done and good luck with your other goals.

It's wonderful how our children open our eyes to our own shortcomings and then enable us to find a new approach to tackle them. Stay positive and keep going.
