Trying to survive

I am not having a good day and want to lie in bed all day to just cry and sleep. But I promised my daughter we'd get out today and do whatever she wanted and so that's what we're doing. I love my kids so much but I am drowning in my feelings and not having the necessary alone time to feel my emotions without impacting them is hard. Swallowing my depression and pretending to be ok is suffocating me.

@lostsoul1083 Hi! I hope you're doing okay. I'm really sorry you're feeling this way 😞 I know how hard it is to put on a brave face when all you want to do is cry and lay in bed. I am really proud of you for going out, even when you didn't want to. That takes a lot of strength and you are an amazing mom! Do you have any support? Maybe you could have someone spend time with your kids while you took some "me time?" You deserve to practice self-care and do what you need to to heal. Have you considered therapy? They could have TeleHealth options for you to do at home! Please know that we are always here for you and you are never alone! I am thinking of you. 💛
