Hi, I've name changed for this because I feel a bit silly and so sad.
I'm in my early 30's and have been out of work for nearly 10 years since falling pregnant with our first dc. Had dc2 since then and our family is complete.
I would really like to work again but my confidence and self esteem are on their knees. I've written this post out twice explaining all the reasons why but it's far too long, no one would read it.
There's a job that I would dearly love to apply for, I've just been looking at it and got so excited. Then when it came to the application form I couldn't even bother. Out of work for 10 years looking after children, they won't look at me for a mad minute.
I couldn't even fill.out the application form because I feel so low and rubbish. I've depended on my amazing dh for so long I just don't feel able to do something by myself, just for me.
I've always had low level anxiety but for various reasons it now seems sky high. I used to be so independent, fairly confident. I've totally lost myself and I don't know how to find the way back.
