Waiting for brighter days

[Strugglingmum]

Oh Paula, tbh I'm really not that well. My symptoms are really bad, I feel low and my anxiety is so bad some days I cant leave the house...... but I'm not hitting despair or anything, I'm just struggling day to day. I'm not taking care of myself very well, I'm not swimming or walking, i need someone with me a lot of the time but, I'm able to do stuff for other people itms.
I'm at that stage where plans could be cancelled at the drop of a hat very easily if noone is depending on me.
I have the seniors Christmas lunch to make on Monday so I'm doing some prep for that over the weekend. A is playing golf this morning but other than that we will be together. I'm sure things will pick up soon. I aim to get showered today.

Why do you think you’re able to do stuff for others but not yourself? Are you not leaving enough spoons for yourself or do you feel you’re not worthy of being nice to yourself?

Oh, and having a shower is great self care so, if you manage that, that’s awesome . You’re awesome!
