I know. I'm sorry. I'm so guilty of isolating when things are tough.
I think we all do that at times, I'm guilty of it myself.
No need to be sorry at all lovely! As Jaq says, we all do that... Even when I'm here and if things are hard then the team know as I don't talk about it and then post explaining what's happening and they always say "so why didn't you talk about it?" They're right and what I preach is right - talking DOES help... It's hard to do though at times.
Me too (bear)
I'm the same I isolate myself when I'm not feeling good, it seems to come with the territory, as the others say talking does help.
I have a family wedding on Saturday and what should be a wonderful day is stressing me so much. Yesterday was the anniversary of my mums death and last Thursday would have been her birthday. Its just all overwhelming.
Due to him adversely affecting my mental health I haven't seen or spoken to my father since June. he will of course be at the wedding and I'm dreading it plus carrying guilt because I haven't been in touch with him. I feel like a big ball of anxiety and dread.
I'm not surprised you're struggling (panda)
I'm not surprised you're struggling! Family gatherings are so full of stress.
Do you have any coping strategies? Any support?
My husband. He is basically to be a buffer all day at the wedding between me and my father.
