Feeling abit down today

Louise - I think I can safely say that we all feel like that sometimes!

You need to be kind to yourself because in this life you will find there are plenty of other people waiting to drag you down (due to their own inadequacies normally).

Mummy Dfw has a good solution - smiling and singing - but not sad songs lol.

I will try the being kind to myself, as I suppose if you don't no one else will!

You are doing a great job. Im sorry you feel down today. It must be very hard being a single parent. Its hard enough doing it with 2 of you. I am sure you are right about the weather too, its hard to get excited about life on days like this. But I also agree with the OP's comment about getting out and tricking your brain with a bit of exercise, even if it is raining buckets, you could try a walk and maybe once out in the rain it wouldnt seem so bad? Plus there is the benefit of coming home to one of your yummy sounding flapjacks.

Thank you. DD's dad has arrived and is entertaining her (in a fashion) so I have snook upstairs for a power nap

I miss the days when I was a single parent, and I never thought I'd say that! It was so hard and there was no one there to help you see a bad day is just a bad day and not to let it get to you, and wear you down.

But now those days are over, both me and DD cherish every memory of it, because your bond is so much stronger and closer as a single parent. We wouldn't have missed out on it for the world. Although it is sooooo much easier now we a two parent family!

Take care

And that sounds like a good plan. Being rested is the best thing for your mood I find.

Thank you so much for the kind responses. I cherish the relationship I have with DD and am so grateful for everything we have or do together and time we spend together but I do feel as though I'd like a break. My power nap ended after 5mins as DD came back from the park and straight up into my room and of course now it's dinner time.....oh well early bedtime possibly?

Katie Im sending you hugs as I think we all need them now and again. I hope you're feeling better soon xxx
