I had a pretty major accident recently. I was badly hurt but incredibly fortunate to have come off as lightly as I did.
Since then everything in my life just feels so flat and empty. I have tried and tried to be happy and feel thankful to be alive but being honest I find every day a complete struggle.
I am constantly reminded of all the things I don't have in my life. The fact that I am always the one running round looking after being everyone else's support and that nobody really gives a shit about me. Not because I'm not loved- I know I am, but because people are just used to me being the strong, supportive fun one. I don't seem able to be that person any more and I find myself not knowing who the fuck I am anymore.
Aside from my job I have nothing really. No partner, no children. I'm unlikely now to ever have either and I might as well have no family at the moment. Odd that I am posting on a parenting board isn't it? That's largely because I don't belong anywhere really so here seems as good a place as any to post this.
Ignore me if it's easier than racking your brains to think of something supportive to say. I'm hoping it helps me to just get all of this out.
