...See more Feeling relieved and excited about my future. Took me a long time to feel confident to take this step. Stress and anxiety levels definitely increased so trying to relax and meditate to counter balance. Would love to connect with any other single mums newly separated with young kids

...See more How do you do it? Life goes on and then you're meant to let them back in? It feels scary and dangerous.

...See more I'm in my late 30s and have experiences long term physical, emotional and psychological child abuse. Life threatening accident, parents divorce, life threatening situation with first child. Still I feel like an imposter! I am working hard on all facets of my CPTSD but although I've come a long way, I do worry I'll never have peace. Is it too much to expect? It makes me feel so scared and sad that so many people experience so much trauma and yet society doesn't want to address it and change things. Making money is more important, at least in western societies. I am a person of deep feeling and thinking but I'm numb from so many traumatic years. I want to feel things again but it is locked up too tight
Isolation... Everyone seems to lack community

...See more Like many others, I feel alone, isolated. I often wonder if society has always been like this or if it truly is a recent phenomenon. Nostalgic accounts of the old days support the idea of the village community but I'm not sure. Everyone seems to need someone just to lend a listening ear. It's sad so many of us have no option than online. What are your thoughts?
How to care for myself when there is nothing left to give

...See more I have two autistic children and my husband is also autistic and has severe depression. Caring for my children is a given, it's normal and natural. Yes, their support needs are higher than your average child but it's to be expected. But my husband, well it's frustrating. I understand and accept depression is an illness. I don't blame him at all. But I'm so worn out, tired and have no space for myself. He stays in bed playing games most the day. I do all the cooking, cleaning, organising. We home educate as that's what the boys need, and we don't do much in that regard at the moment, but I do it all. I'm studying which is my me-time but the pressure of assignments is pretty stressful. There is no answer, no magic solution. But yet, I am left here, alone, isolated and with all of the responsibility. It isn't fair.

...See more Hi, I have two young kids and my husband has severe depression. He's always had depression but its severity goes up. Our kids have disabilities and it's hard work. I'm really aware that my husband's depression is not how he actually feels or thinks and that he can't snap out of it. But it's been so hard on me, I'm worn out. I have to care for him and my kids. I'm having physically symptoms which I know are a result of my own anxiety and stress. My anxiety is worse, it's always been mild-moderate but it's worse. I feel pulled in 50 different directions and it makes it hard to prioritise. I feel isolated and tired and cranky. I don't know what to do next.
