Monday was a truly awful day. I felt the lowest I have felt in a while and decided I needed help. I think the loneliness of motherhood and the lack of me time took it’s toll. In an effort to not let things go down hill I wrote to the streatham mums group for support- who were incredible. I also spoke to a health visitor, booked an appointment with the gp and with my health visitor. I cried and accepted that I am not coping well all alone. Once I accepted this it was clear I alone had to pluck up the courage and put myself out there. Luckily some lovely mums made this much easier. I went to a playgroup and spoke to a few mums over hot chocolate then I spent the whole day with 2 other wonderful mums. I got home at 4:30 exhausted but feeling a little more like myself. I know it isn’t sorted but with a couple of days like this a week I will cope much better I think.
Unfortunately by the end of the week we were both sick and Aydin had his worst night ever. Waking every hour and at times every 30-40 mins. My head was thumping and my sinus felt on fire. Hope we both feel better soon. 🙁
I'm Jo and this is my little place to record the moments I cherish of everyday life. I know I would never remember all these so at least this way I can capture them, and not only I but family and friends, can take a dip into the past when desired.
