Don't know whether to go to WA.

[Eve1]

There is a drop in this afternoon at my local women’s aid. Tha2n there isn’t one for another week. I keep putting o8f going because I don’t know what I’d say. I’ve had an awful morning.
But I just don’t know what I want from them or what they could offer. And I’m so downcast at the moment.

It’s so many years since I left my ex. I know I than had this stupid ‘relationship’ that I can’t even talk about, where there was abuse.

Would they put me on their counselling wairing list?

Ifeel like such a bad parent at the moment.

Hi Eve1

If you are feeling low, it might end up lifting your spirits and giving you back some control of your life. They wont make you do anything you don’t want to, they are there to help however you need that (and help will be different for everyone).

How pleased and proud would you feel if they can support you?

Also, what have you got to lose if you go along? You wont know if you don’t try hun.

I am only speaking from the fact that WA gave me the tools to get my life back on track and take control again. Be brave x

Hi Lisa, I didn’t go. I just felt I would cry and not make any sense. Also it’s in a quite public sort of a place. I just didn’t feel brave. If I want to try again there’s always next week. Or another day this week there’s one in a nearby town.

I can talk so easily on here. It’s hard face to face.

Thank you for your support. It gives me a little bit of hope that I’ll try again.

Hi Eve1,

Don’t worry, it’s important that you take things at your own pace and ask for support when you’re feeling up to it. You could give them a call to find out what support they can offer, if you would rather do that than drop in.

I’m glad you feel able to talk on the forum- we are always here!

Kind Regards,

Lisa
