I can see how life can be very difficult for you right now. Work definitely has a huge impact on our life even after we walk out the door to go home. I had something similar when I was pregnant and it really adversely impacted my home life. Is there anything you can do to make things better with work? Maybe apply for something else?
You are present for your daughter and helping her along the way. You are alive to see her everyday. I really hope she can get the medication and the support she needs from the healthcare service where you are based. The pressure of being the nurturer and supporter of your child is immense, I feel it with my baby and she’s not even a teenager yet!
Yes we are CG’s but that doesn’t define us. It’s one aspect of us which we can either choose to nurture and strengthen through repeated behaviour or we weaken and replace it with healthier activities. I hate labels and hate calling myself a CG or addict now. I have not gambled since my last post and I am determined to both weaken this problematic behaviour and give importance and focus on the goals I have for myself and my family. You can too.
I too have put on a lot of weight post pregnancy. I was a size eight and am probably a size 16 now. I do have a lot of time to spare and fill this with eating . But I still love my body and have begun making small changes like eating light at dinner and avoiding anything heavy before bed. I’ve also started walking more. Small changes but they ***** and clear my head of negative thoughts about me letting go of my health and well being.
It’s s tough time for you but you are alive. You have loved ones. You have an income source and you can make changes.
