You're being battered from all directions atm! Now more than ever you need to think of yourself to get through this tough spell - you will! Lean on those closest to you - cry if you feel like it scream if u need to as well!
How was hypno therapy? X

Hi
It's no wonder at all you're having such a rubbish day. Recent events are taking their toll at s time when ur still vulnerable although in my opinion you're making really good progress in recovery. A return in intrusive thoughts is a side effect of all the stress of the past few days.
Although you're feeling like this won't ever end it will. This is a horrible horrible blip. Firstly don't look into the future focus on the here and now. Try and look around you and concentrate on little seemingly insignificant things like the trees blowing in the wind, a car driving past and notice these details. Try to do this once an hour of you can.
As I said before you have to be your own best friend atm- be really kind to yourself. Do something nice - go for a walk on your own, visit a friend for a coffee, have a nice relaxing bath. Even though you might not enjoy this as fully atm it will help you relax.
You will get through it! X

Been a better day thanks Monica. Things are ok. We are working through it and he has started therapy for his addiction. Here's hoping and keeping everything crossed.
That's nice I bet you can't wait for that. Be nice to have a break huh!! When is it you go? Xx

Laying here at 2.35am thinking how nice it will be to get away right now. This mama needs some space. Funnily enough I can't imagine doing it without Sophia. I wish I could just take her away for a couple of weeks to clear my head..my mum and sister are going to Canada in a couple of weeks (dreading it) and I keep thinking just book a flight and go!!! But I can't and it sucks!!!!!!!! π’π’

Hi
Hope you got back to sleep. Life must feel very overwhelming atm and joining your family to Canada would be wonderful. If money is the issue could your mum and sister help you out?
Maybe give yourself a little break - could you visit a family member or friend overnight - a change of scenery would do you good.
In the positive side hubby is getting help and everything is out in the open. The gambling probs could have carried on for longer .... Big hugs my lovely X

Also wanted to add just look how far you've come ! Anyone would feel really low and stressed in your situation yet in spite of PNI you're supporting hubby, sorting out debts etc and being pretty efficient - quite an achievement ! X

Anyone even without PNI etc would be struggling. I have been PNI free for a decade yet earlier this year I had so much rubbish thrown in my direction over a couple of months - it was horrendous! Just wanted to say you deserve to give urself a huge pat on the back x

Awh thank you Monica, I guess it is a huge achievement I never really thought of it like that before. Yeah could have gone on for longer. I have full control now of our finances too until I can learn to trust him again. How are you? Xx
