this reminds me of when we, my sister and I, would race insanely ’round the house and mom would say ‘calm/slow down .. next thing you’ll be crying’ .. well its still true .. highs/happiness often is followed by a lows/sadness .. have a bit of chocolate, its gonna be a bright sunshiny day!

You will go through these relative short periods called the blues and they are probably triggered by something subconscious that’s not registering on your radar, If you really want to analyze it, you can probably find the trigger, but you don’t have to. Just realize that the blues have a beginning and an end and that all you have to do is be patient and wait them out and accept them as being part of your life right now, That makes them less scary and overwhelming. Lean into them a little bit and don’t be scared of them. Nothing bad is going to happen to you, you’re not going crazy and you’re not losing the plot. You’ve just got the blues temporarily and it will pass.

Big Hug,
Irene

You have been through some huge lkife changes and personal dramas of late—splitting up and moving are two of the most stressful things a person goes through in life. even without depression, that would be hard. Take time, try to relax, and let yourself be. You will come out on the other side, yes, but one cannot rush such things.

The first step is always recognising your limits and where you’re at.
The second is telling people.
The third is ringing or emailing your friends for some practical and emotional support. Even if that is just going blluuuuurrrgh with all the stuff and knowing you are safe to say anything.

You’re doing fine. You’re tired. You are not perfect and you are juggling many balls at once. Give yourself a break.

And lots of hugs from me. xxx

And we have to carry on for kids don’t we. Sometimes the loneliness sets in even though we have a house full of laughter. The heart is a complicated tool and one to be taken care of. Cuddle the kids. They will always be there for you. And one day you will look back on this time in your life with pride, because you got through, despite the loneliness and the grieving for the “we”.

Lots of love and hugs to match,
CJ xx

Let it out and cry. I’ve been there and still am sometimes, creeps up on you when you’re least expecting it, bloody thing!

I try to have one good belly laugh a day. It helps.

You may not be a ‘we’ but you are part of ‘us’.

We’re here for you. RMxx
