      After (timeframe removed by Moderator) yrs of violent and mental abuse, I thought these past few months I was doing ok. Ok, slight hiccups with anxiety and panic attacks which I’m trying to cope with,but today I feel very lonely. I thougt I’d be ok. I do have 2 gorgeous,supportive daughter’s. They have plans of their own today, which I’m totally happy for them but I can’t help feeling so down,alone and apart from the rest of fun and family togetherness today. I know this will pass as tomorrow will be a new day.

      I do hope everyone is enjoying their day today. I don’t want people to feel guilty or bring sadness to anyone. I just wanted to share my thoughts and feelings.

      I wish each and everyone of you a joyful Xmas x ❤️

      I struggled yesterday for some reason so I put on something to watch that i knew would make me cry, but it helped as in a weird way I was sad so watching it helped me have a cry!

      Tomorrow is a new day, I’ve always said christmas day and NYE are overrated and are just a day. Normally I preplan what to cook, what to watch but my daughter unexpectedly went out last night which left me volunable.

      The pressure that society puts us under, social media doesn’t help. I think self care, pre planning helps. Last year I didn’t look at social media at all over the festive period but this year I thought I would be ok and i clearly wasn’t.

      It’s all about learning and it’s ok to have bad days. I hope you are ok, the day is nearly over and sending lots of love xx

      I had a lovely Christmas all on my own and it was exactly what I wanted. This year I also got to go on a solo trip abroad and I never thought I’d ever be able to do it, but I did. Don’t beat yourself up for the bad days as we all get them.

      Wishing you all a Happy New Year and better things to come,
