Soft spiral

eye had a soft depression spiral and needed to be out of the house due to my mums constant spiral of depression due to losing her mum/my gma

having to deal with the majority of the paperwork for her mum. Me and my sister have been doing our best not to dump any type of *stress* or our weight on her. Just to be present with her as much as possible and connect. Yet it hurts when she rejects my words/actions/love *that was our old way of living with her*

Now she is lashing out just like my gma would for over the past yrs she was alive. The spiral of watching your parwnt spiral is hard on the mental. Doing my best not to keep that spiral going and pass that on to my child. Fuuuudge that frfr.

this app is teuly helping me get thru life and declutter my space mentally & pysically.

eye luv my mum yet she needs therapy and is sooooo stubborn

looking on line to help find a therapist for her

while eye keep my emotion in a peaceful space as always

flowing thru the motiona today

yet grateful eyem alive to process the day & love myself thru it all

@Lenaye8 Hey there Lenaye, I'm so deeply sorry for the loss of your grandmother, and for the incredibly difficult situation you're facing with your mom's grief.  Watching a parent grieve is heartbreaking, and it's especially challenging when your efforts to support her aren't received the way you'd hoped. It's completely understandable that you're feeling hurt, overwhelmed, and perhaps even a little lost.  Please know that all of those feelings are valid, and you're not alone in feeling like this. 🫂


I'm truly glad that 7 Cups is providing you with some comfort and a space to process everything.  It's so important to have outlets when you're navigating such a heavy emotional weight. 

There are licensed therapists available here on 7 Cups if you ever feel that talking to a professional would be helpful.  They can offer guidance and support as you navigate these matters. You can find one here : https://www.7cups.com/local/therapists/

You mentioned your mom needing therapy, and it's amazing that you're looking into resources for her, even if she's resistant right now.  Sometimes, just knowing that you're there, offering support, can make a difference in the long run.  It takes a lot of strength and self-awareness to notice the cycle of spiraling emotions and actively work to break it, especially when you're dealing with so much yourself.  You're doing an amazing job by prioritizing your own well-being and by being so mindful of protecting your future child from stress and pain.

Please remember that in addition to the other lovely members on 7cups, I'm here for you. If you ever need a listening ear, a safe space to vent, or just someone to understand, please don't hesitate to private message me. I'm happy to listen without judgment, and simply be there for you during this challenging time.  Sending you so much love, strength, and compassion.  You are worthy of peace and happiness, and you will get through this, even though it feels incredibly difficult right now.  Be kind to yourself, and remember to celebrate even the smallest wins along the way. 💗🫂
