Dear lj
It is probably going to be like this for a while ... but you can do it ... it really is better if you can manage without going into hospital ... just one less thing to destabilise kids and for ex to hang on you.
Please believe it is worthwhile to be a mum ... even if it is years of unrelenting slog and few back pats .. there are weird things that can really blow your mind but are based on reality ... you know my daughter was hanging out with Al Gore and driving him around etc for her job ... In spite of all my issues and beyond the fact that she doesnt understand me ... she is very successful ... it was more my job to understand what was good for her than her job to understand me ... so on some levels I am ok with it ... she is ok and that is what counts ...your story will be uniquely yours ... but there will be pleasant surprises along the way ...
motherhood can be a beautiful privilege and insight into being human.

Wow so much going on @Former-Member!
Going day by day is a great approach.
I'm glad your support workers are helpful. Do you feel like you can turn to them when you're feeling overwhelmed?
We're here for you too @Former-Member

You dont know this, it;s very hard to take in but you are a lot stronger than I ever was. It is how it is.
if I was with you, I would come over, clean up your home and leave you to spend a day doing lj things. It makes me feel so frustrated that this simple job is so difficult to get.
We think you are absolutely doing it hard and doing the work too.
If you have time, can you sit in your bedrrom and watch the moon. It lifts up and watches you like we do
