Feeling really nostalgic today. I’m late 30s with a toddler who I love more than anything but I’ve been reminiscing about before I had proper responsibilities, when it seemed like the world was at my feet, before I was diagnosed with a chronic illness in my mid twenties and it’s making me really emotional.
Now my life is very full on, toddler doesn’t sleep well. Stuck in a very stressful job that makes me feel sick every day but I can’t leave because it fits in with childcare and how flexible it is, it fits in with my life. DC always getting ill from nursery and me catching it.
Desperately want to do something a bit less stressful for less pay. A job I can leave at the door when I finish, but we can’t afford any pay drop, we are just getting by and we are trying to save to get somewhere bigger as we live somewhere tiny snd it’s getting cramped.
still haven’t lost baby weight.
I have a chronic illness which is currently in remission but it’s always a worry.
Always tired.
Guess I'm just going through a tough time and idealising my late teenage years/early twenties. Does anyone else get like this? Need to snap myself out of it today but trying hard not to cry . 😂
