Earthquake - asking for a hand hold

[kavalkada]

That's it, actually. I don't live in UK, but in Croatia, but I love UK and Mumsnet and all wonderful people that are here. We've been hit with terrible earthquake nine months ago, and just when I thought things are going back to normal, we were hit again, this time more devastating then before. And on my wedding anniversary. My family is fine, our home is fine, but I'm a nervous wreck last three days. I cry all the time, shake at the smallest sound, can't sleep... This morning I woke up two minutes before three new earthquakes.

So I need a hand hold, nice kind words, happy thoughts, your prayers and good wishes. Lovely things that have happened to you in the last few days. Jokes. Everything that is sweet and lovely because at the moment I can't be a good mother to my children. I go to my room to cry so they do not see me, and they are all right. My husband is here and he has been amazing but I can't stop shaking thinking on another that will come.

If there is somebody who lived through earthquake and can help with advice how to deal with it, I'll be grateful.

I'm not sure I'll be able to answer you, but be sure I'll read everything.

Thank you.

It's hard isn't it, because each time one hits, you're sitting there thinking 'where is this one going'? People who haven't been in big ones, they don't always understand that, you lose the illusion that it's just going to be a bit of a wobble, and no more.

Do try to go out with your husband and kids.

I remember meeting up with a Dad and kids, they'd lost everything in the quake. They were there to have a sodding good game of dodge ball, to try and take their minds off, and to get tired enough that they'd sleep through the night.

I'm still a mess, but little better. Our flat is a mess, but I don't care. I try to go outside as much as I can. The other day I went out with my friend and our kids and we walked for three hours in the rain. It helps talking with my friends who experienced the same thing. I don't watch news just happy things on Netflix. Shonda Rhimes, thank you for bridgerton. I take a pill before I go to bed and it helps. I read to my kids a lot and read happy things that will make me smile. And thank you all. You all were so sweet and kind to me.
