Struggling
Anyone new to being a single mom.. and struggling with depression and anxiety so much that you can't seem to be positive and take any input about what you do with your child or anything in a negative way. I can't seem to get these negative glasses off. . I live with my mom and I am grateful I have somewhere to live and I love her but sometimes I feel like she's always on my back but I know she means well.. i have always struggling with having the confidence and calmness to figure out how to move out so I only moved out with my son's father 2 times and back here it's all I know to live with someone. I don't know how to do all the bills and figure it all out.. not that I don't have bills at all but not to the fullness of normal life.. its so overwhelming to think about all of the components to keep up
It’s a lot to take in. I’m also new to being a single mom to my two month old. I had to leave his dad after the abuse started to get physical and moved back in with my parents after 14 years. It’s confusing because you’re grateful for the help and appreciate it but also feel like this isn’t how things should be. I spend a lot of my time crying from being either hurt or angry or frustrated or overwhelmed by emotions. But I’m learning to take it day by day. If you have someone to speak to that helps, whether it be a friend or a professional. But speak about it to someone and get those negative thoughts out rather than letting them eat at you. I started seeing a therapist and she told me to write in a journal at least 5 minutes a night. I thought man that’s a long time what am I going to write about? Turns out about 30 minutes a night is what I need to do. Helps me get those negative thoughts out. I hope this helps.
