Just venting. Can’t make myself do anything today. Feel really low. Been accused of weaponizing the child and just feel so flat and deflated. Reached out to services but not heard back. I keep trying to make the right decisions and continually feel like I’m making things worse.
reading Lundy. I’ve highlighted sooo many pages. I just don’t know what to do anymore. I feel lost. Stuck. Deflated. Money is just terrible at the moment and I’m in no good frame of mind to try to change that. It’s making life more stressful.

Its so scarey to reach out so its ok to feel scared about that. Im sure they will get back to you in time.
Allow a bad day sit and cry eat ice cream do whatever you need to do its ok to feel bad.
But and its a big but.. Once you have done your crying and finished that ice cream you wipe those tears and you get back up.
Write a list of ideas to help with the money situation.
Write down your thoughts.
Grab any hand that is offered to you and you get back up.
We have to sweetie we have to get back up and fight another day or they have won. And that cant happen right?
We are all here right beside you x

I just wanted to reach out and say that I can completely understand. It’s so hard when you feel low and your motivation just disappears. It’s always the first thing that goes for me…and then I feel guilty about it.
Please be kind to yourself. All of us on here are processing trauma. That takes a lot of energy. But you are doing it! Getting through each day is a major achievement after all we have been through. Emotions change on a daily basis and it’s a lot to process so it’s understandable that we feel unmotivated to do anything else. It takes a lot of our energy.
When I feel like this I journal which helps. I completely relate to the ‘stuck’ feeling. But when I feel like that I remind myself that each day I get through is ‘one day stronger’.
We won’t feel like this forever. Sending you strength.

It’s true that it takes lots of energy to process things!
Do you have medications for your mental health and support with your decision making? I’m waiting for someone to help me with finances, it feels like I’m floundering in a mess. I’m currently not well enough to work or care for family members really but the family responsibilities go on whilst I’m off sick from work with no money.
I’m learning that resting and doing things just for me sometimes could be helpful instead of rushing round helping everyone else. I’m trying to pace myself somewhat and even have an alarm on my phone to remind me to take a mindfulness break every so often!
Take good care of yourself.
