Loneliness *SU Trigger*

[Strugglingmum]

I'm done. I'm tired I have nothing useful to contribute.
I simply said that I had concerns that I was not fully aware of all the issues that my daughter had and felt we could not be of any help if we didn't know all the facts. Ok i teared up as i was saying it.It was suggested that if attending sessions with my daughter was going to upset me then I was detrimental to her healing process as I was only piling guilt on her on top of everything else.
Feeling really about it all.
I've really had enough. But yet I'm her mum. I love her. I guess letting go is all that's left for our relationship.
Fighting for her is apparently wrong and damaging.

No, it’s not wrong or damaging and I’m furious they made you feel this way. Is there anyone else you can talk to about it? That’s disgusting!

[Strugglingmum]

Talking to my psychologist helped calm me a bit.
She is going to see about family therapy. CAMHS are rightly all for my daughter but I feel they are weakening our family unit so she is looking for an impartial service that can help us find a way forward.

How dare they? That's the most unhelpful and total load of .
I'm so glad you have your psychologist because to be fair comments like those could be enough to push any mother who is feeling bad anyway over the edge... What they have said is wrong. Fighting for your children can never be wrong.

Not sure if this is allowed so if necessary admin can remove.
Just wanted to share about a fantastic resource I have found to help with my anxiety.
It's an app called Mindshift.(it's free)
You create an account and log mood etc but there are fantastic helps for coping in the midst of anxiety. If I'm feeling anxious I can open the app and I can choose some coping strategies and do them right there with the app. It could be cyclic breathing or positive statements or grounding techniques. It is a really useful tool for me and if like me anxiety is a huge issue this could be helpful.

Totally allowed! Might be worth sticking it in the self care section too lovely!

That sounds like a good resource to have at your fingertips.

[Suzi]

Please do add it to the self care area!

[Flo]

Sounds good to me!....anything that can help with anxiety is a bonus.

We seem to have finally got our internet issues sorted.
Hopefully we have full service again.....I wait to be Impressed.
Anyway I have really missed being able to log on here whenever I wanted. I have been lonely without you guys.....and very struggling.
