Hi there, I am a thirty-something unemployed mother of two who questions every decision that I make. My husband and I have been married for a few years, luckily we still enjoy each other’s company and are on the same page most of the time.
So why have I decided to start writing down my thoughts? Well, I have recently become aware that my mental health is not as good as it could be and I have decided to embark on the journey of getting some help to put my mind in order.
Since I have had children I find myself questioning the choices that I make, which I think is similar to a lot of mums out there but I am curious what impact my mental health has on the wellbeing of my children.
I am incredibly lucky to have the support network that I have but it has been a struggle during the pandemic, especially throughout lockdown. Suddenly, I was on my own with miniature versions of myself and I was responsible for every element of their lives, including their education.
For me, the last few months have caused me to analyse my own shortcomings as well as some of my strengths. I am not a writer, I didn’t go to university, I do not have a degree and I live in a rural town in the South West of the UK.
So why start a blog now? As I have said I am receiving help for my issues and I hope that my journey will help you to realise that nobody is perfect and there is no shame in admitting that you need help and, most importantly, highlight that you are not alone nor are you wrong to feel the way that you do. Hopefully we will have some laughs along the way and we can appreciate the joyful moments together and support each other during the dark times.
There are going to be low points, there are going to be high points, there will be funny moments, there will be down moments but my hope is that I will be able to appreciate every moment because without the bad how would you know that something is good?
We are all the sum of our positive and negative experiences so don’t be too hard on yourself when things don’t go to plan and appreciate the times when they do.
So…if your interested in the ramblings of a crazy Mumma Bear trying to deal with her Mum guilt then enjoy, if not why not take a look anyway…you never know it may help, or at least bring a smile to your face.
