I’m not in any rooms, here where I am everything has stopped. I work in a supermarket and it’s been so stressfulIt’s okay, recovery isn’t a linear journey there will always be ups and downs. This is a temporary down and you will get better, one step at a time. Are you in the rooms by any chance? There are 24/7 meetings, I am happy to help you find a meeting that’s on now?
With regards to lockdown - it’s hard, it’s really hard. Are you going out walking with your girls? Where abouts in the country are you my love, are there any parks nearby or fun outside play areas? xx
I don’t want to tell you what to do or push you any which way, but you’ve mentioned drinking lots and being tee total - have you gone to any AA meetings before? They’re very calming and there’s absolutely no pressure to contribute, you can just go and sit and listen to people. You can Google AA meetings online, or if you’d like I can find you links, there are meetings that run 24/7 with lockdown so you can just dip in and out.I’m not in any rooms, here where I am everything has stopped.

I live about 2km from the beach so I’ve been running and running
I’m about 7m from the most easterly point of England
but it’s the night times I struggle.
I was drinking lots last lockdown but I’m t total now but I find I just urge for a beer or gin
I’ve done CBT was doing greatdon’t apologise it’s fine, all of us are here listening! I’m relieved to hear you’ve got a support bubble nearby, I think because mental health is still a new-ish concept some parents can really struggle to understand it, but that doesn’t mean your feelings and experiences aren’t valid! Have you got a local GP? I’d really recommend ringing them tomorrow as they can help you SO much my love, even in lockdown they’re being amazing, I just finished some CBT through the NHS and it’s been life changing.
I agree wirh other girls here, have you got any friends who are more understanding? I’d honestly double bubble and see them too if you’re struggling, it’s a shit set of circumstances we’re all in but you need a bit more support right now and that’s fine. Please keep chatting to us x
Ive not experienced the going away part with my partner just yet but I know its coming. I joke about enjoying it but Im scared. We may all be "stramgers" but we are people behind these screens and messages and we want to help you.He’s in the Middle East. He’s in quarantine at the moment so we can kind of speak
But once he’s moved from quarantine it’s difficult.
it’s very a complicated situation.
He didn’t want to leave us and I begged him to stay but duty calls.
I just feel so sad and alone
My dad has PSTD so can’t speak to me about what I’m going through even though he would understand and my mum who is my childminder/support bubble seems to think that I’m dramatic even though she would understand how I feel if she just listened and didn’t dote on the grandkids!
I seem to be in a lone situation amongst my friends who think I’m being dramatic.
but it’s so hard to explain how alone and afraid I feel to anyone
sorry for rambling
It might be worth having another convo with your friend & telling her what you’re telling us, exactly how difficult you’re finding things as I can’t imagine she’d still feel that way. Every single person in your life loves you lots and wants you to feel well, no one is going to berate you for struggling cos it’s an entirely normal part of life.I’ve done CBT was doing great
It’s hard because one of my closest Friends her husband works away for 2-3 weeks offshore and she thinks I’m belittling her or having ago when I say how much I’m struggling
I’m the type of person who doesn’t want to offend or fall out
I bottle it all up and then explode
