Difficult phase

[Braveenough]

Hello
I am not sure if this is me or there are other people going through the same phase. I am facing separation and I am a mother to a beautiful 2 year old. The anxiety is taking toll and I am feeling nauseating and do not feel like eating but that is making me feel week. I don't know how to eat.
Sometimes I feel if I am doing it right by taking the call to separate or I could have done something. I don't have any friends and don't make friends easily and have been clinging to my husband and perhaps that could be the reason for separation.
I am so confused. My brain is thinking too much. It pats me on the back to take such a string call and at the same time I feel sad and cry and get too emotional and think how am I going to make this happen and give my baby a good life.

I just wanted to right down and feel as if I am talking to someone. I want someone to just run his hand on my head and say it will be alright my child, you are a brave girl, you can do it or someone who can hug me and tell don't worry I am there.

I hope there is light at the end of the tunnel and acknowledge that there must be so many people feeling the same way.
It's just that I lack that ability of making friends.

Thanks for reading.
Regards

Sorry I can’t empathise with your situation ( being a male )

I suggest you eat !! You need to be strong for your daughter

and start going to playgroups in your local community with other mothers / children . They are free and a safe place to make friends .

Hope you can keep patting yourself on the back because you do deserve it !!!

Dear Braveenough,

Im sorry your facing separation....and are feeling anxious about moving on..,and not being able to eat due to your anxiety causing you to feel nauseous....It is so important like Boots has said to eat properly....You need to keep your body and mind in good condition so you can properly care for your beautiful 2 year old...

Going to play groups at your local library, school is a very good way to connect with other parents that attend with their children.,,,children are great ‘ice breakers” so to say...a parent always loves to hear how cute their child is and by saying that to another parent is a great conversation starter....and could lead to some great friends for you and also your child...No it’s nots as easy as it sounds in writing...Yet many long term friendships have been started this way....

I would love to give you a gentle hug and say to you that you are braver then you think,,,and if this separation is something that you really feel is unstoppable...Yes dear lovely lady.....you can do this...Please try hard to believe in you..

Do you have family or friends around you that can offer you some support?...

Talk here anytime you feel up to it.,,and let us know how your going...

My kindest thoughts dear Braveenough...with a gentle warm and caring hug,,,

Grandy..

Hi there,

As a single parent myself, with a very little social life I can see your point of view. Life can be quiet difficult at times and you need to stay strong for your child! I have a 17 month old, I’m always here if you need a chat as anxiety can take a lot from you.
just remember that you are worth it, and you’re doing so well already. I’m so glad you’ve reached out! You should be proud of yourself for doing so. I hope you can get back on your feet soon enough!

best regards!

Thanks Grandy, I can feel your hug. It seems you are talking to me. I was feeling lonely and wanted to talk to someone so logged in here and saw beautiful people like u have responded to my post. It seems you are next to me. I think I can atheist talk here and start making relationship. It's a long journey that will take time but I will get there.

Lots of love

Hi Fiona

Thanks for reading mine and replying. Your encouraging words mean a lot. It is really hard being a single parent but I believe it's worth it. It feels amazing when my daughter cuddles me tight.

I am not sure what part of australia you are in but hope we could meet some day.

Thanks
