Hi Wateringcan, I can relate to feeling so low and worthless. I’ve had to pull myself out of it by remembering that it is a mood, a feeling, and it will pass. But sometimes you need help to feel better. Have you got someone you trust that you can talk to? Could you look up some online info on how to deal with this low mood? What would you normally do when life gets tough- maybe use a technique or a coping strategy that’s worked before?
Whatever you do, don’t give up hope. There are many encouraging threads on this forum that can help you to see the hope at the end of a dark time.
Sending love and lightness to you…💗 -
Hi Wateringcan, I’m so sorry you’re feeling like this. I’m sure most of the ladies on here can relay to having days like this too. I know I can relate to how you’re feeling. I think maybe you should call your GP if you can face that or maybe try speaking to a trusted family member /friend. You should do whatever will be easier for you but talking definitely helps and you’ll be surprised how many people want to listen. Sending a hug xx

Hi Wateringcan,
I’m so sorry to hear that you are struggling still.
It can be really difficult trying to find who you are and what your purpose is. You sound very depressed. Have you been back to your GP recently?
You have had a lot on your plate recently, even if you don’t realise. You have all been affected by the abuse and your children will appreciate your love and care, even if they are too young to express it.
Look at how well you have done. You are a loving mother who has done the right thing to protect her children. They can now lead safe, happy lives because they have such an amazing mother. You have purpose but it sounds like you are struggling with knowing what that is at the moment. You mean so much to everyone who loves you.
Try to find you. The core, real you is in there somewhere. please keep talking. xx

Hi Watering can, just sending you a huge massive hug. This feeling of being worthless and low is so hard to get through isn’t it? Your thoughts about yourself right now are not facts or reality. They are the after effects of years of trauma and conditioning that you are not worthy of love, respect and good treatment. Know that you are important. You do matter. You are the source of love for yourself, your kids and your future but it will take time to unpack the past. Have a think about getting some therapy or trauma counselling. Try starting with your GP or WA so that you can start to bring the focus to yourself and get some support. Feelings and emotions will help us you to heal. What has happened to you is traumatic and you are not alone, you will be OK. xx

Hi @wateringcan
Just wanted to give you a hug , sorry to hear your feeling like this 🙁Like the other ladies have said have you visited your gp? I would make an appointment so you can talk about how your feeling, do you have a good friend you can chat to? Or any family? If you can try to give them a call ? I did this at one of my low points and it was a huge help, even 5 minutes talking to someone is like a weight off your shoulders.
Also if its possible and if you can try to get out in the fresh air, even if its 5 mins in your local area , local park, anywhere I find walking helps my anxiety and low mood so so much , it helps to ground me and i find nature soothing.
Please let us know how your doing x*x

I was doing ok i was waking up with a smile again and i was laughing again. I was turning negatives into positives and my sole focus was my children.
But one day last week something changed again and i dont know what it was but im having panic attacks im having weird dreams im sweating constantly my whole chest feels really heavy and im very very emotional crying at least 5 times a day. I am having moments where i look at myself and feel sick and ashamed and feel like every thing would seem better without me in it. Im not having suicidal thoughts just feel as if im failiny everything and everyone so whats the point in me. I havent reached out to family and friends as they have already helped so much and i dont want to put anything else on them. I feel like the only person who could make me feel better right now is my ex. I had his number up on my screen last night ready to call him and i was so close. The only reason that stopped me calling was because of my children. Not because of how he was to me but how he made my children feel. But i have this need for him and a love still and so many people have said this is a trauma bond and ive doje the research but i cant seem to reverse any of the good feelings i had towards him. He is the very reason i am in this position yet he is still the only person i feel could stop all this pain. -
Hmm. Definitely one for the GP. There are a number of things, physical and psychological that could be making you feel like this. Until you know what you’re dealing with, you can’t deal with it.
Please do give your family the opportunity to support you. If they don’t feel that they can support you then that is their choice but I suspect they would appreciate being given the opportunity to make that choice.
