Whew

I literally have to stop at this very moment and just release it here as my thoughts are eating me alive and making me feel so anxious.

I separated with my ex partner last year. I have been able to stand back bit by bit but at times i just spiral back. . LIKE NOW!

From the feeling of isolation, when most people left u (from family to friends) when u most needed them.

My mind is in a constant battle to be strong for my daughter but at the same time all other thoughts (isolation, questioning myself what happened during my younger years and why i didnt manage to do a lot of things i want etc etc)

Sorry i just feel so overwhelmed and spiraling down always.

Sometimes it helps to hone in on the anxiety listen to what it's needing and saying all that stuff. Anxiety is usually about extreme fear of future stuff

But believe me your nervous system will thank you if you just keep being with your body and figuring out everything you can to just get yourself safe and that will trickle over to your daughter.

What are your supports look like etc?

Happy to be DMed if you need. So many mamas saved my life the past three yrs and it's done now and I'm happy to support other mums

Hello, I am going through the same thing. It's why I downloaded this app. I was a married single parent and left because of this and thought it would be so much easier if I was just on my own. None of my friends or family helped me even though they knew I was struggling, and when I reached out for help, I was ghosted, or they couldn't be bothered. Now I have no friends, and it took me years to be able to leave financially, and I'm looking back at my life with regrets and guilt. Feel free to message me if you want to chat more.
