Really struggling with my anxiety recently especially going out with my little girl. Last summer id take her to parks and all sorts on my own but this year id rather sit at home. Feel like im failing her as i see many friends take their kids out, i financially cant afford to spend loads on going places as everything seems expensive and petrol it all adds up!!!
All my friends work, my sisters mostly busy and my mum works....i just feel like im on my own but know i need to do more.
Any advice? Anyone else randomly feel the same? Im abit lost to be honest dont know how to motivate and get out of this vicious circle
❤ most definitely, I'm just overthinking everything at the minute I suppose x
Nothing wrong with sitting at home! If you don't feel up to it then that's that! Don't feel bad about it. Sofa, blanket and TV!
When you do feel up for it, maybe plan one day to do something. Something simple like play park or a walk, doesn't have to be anything big. There's loads of nice things you can do at home together. These little cup cake kits are always a nice thing to do.
Even do little things like colouring in, cutting out and sticking down. These are really simple and fun things you can do together and they will.help her fine motor skills x
Thankyou I always just feel bad, i know shes none the wiser. I went to home bargains yesterday and did buy her loads of craft stuff and sticker books, so I do stuff like that. I think theres always so much pressure to do so many things, I think because of lockdown I couldnt do anything and now I can, I just have no motivation!
My sister rang me not long ago actually and suggested we go to the beach today and go out for tea so I'm snapping myself out of it and going! I also think since separating from my ex has took a toll because he has 2 kids and we would take them all out on a friday night and during the day on a Saturday, I kinda miss that I suppose!
Yes your right and I need to stop bullying myself ha x
@ms_lizzy it's so easy to be hard on yourself. I used to make myself feel awful seeing pictures on fb of people doing nice things with their kids and I would be sat at home in my jammies not wanting to move! Taking kids out and about isn't easy!
Have a great time with your sister!
Happy mummy is a happy child, doesnt matter where you are just as long as you're spending time with her xx
