That’s just it really. I really need a cuddle but that’s not possible so can anybody just support me right now? My mental health is on the floor right now I’ve never felt as low it’s making me feel so ill

Sweetheart we absolutely believe in you, look how far you have come and how you have stood up for and advocated for yourself. When you are finally in your own lovely home and settled with your children, you will look back to this time and see how you fought to be heard and how strong you are.
There are bound to be tough times as you miss your children, that just shows what a great mum you are, but keep your eyes on the end result, pushing through and getting better and getting your new home for your children and your wooden spoon. We will be here cheering you on every step of the way. Sending you hugs 🤗🍪

Just to say thinking of you Laura.

Glad you've had a lovely sleep.

I'm sure this post is going to fill up very soon.

Can you make another one so we can still offer you support.

Thank you AdmittowearingCrocs,
Thank you for believing in me it means more to me than words can describe.
I was thinking about calling the crisis team earlier as my mental health team said that if I’m struggling over the weekend to give them a call but you know what , I didn’t , not because I’m not struggling but because I wanted to try and get through it myself and trying to believe in myself like you all believe in me and the desperate moment passed.
I was texting the resident that was at the crisis house with me earlier and we have been sending each other supportive messages , she’s absolutely lovely and she said when we are both feeling better that we should meet for lunch so that’s something to look forward to .
I can’t wait to give my children and my spoon a home and I can’t wait to be able to tell you all about it xx

More hugs! You are so right about those 14 biscuits! I have been known to polish off an entire packet of custard creams if theyre not nailed down - not even the best ones but a knock-off version! I reckon they're addictive!

I mean to be fair, that’s a good trade 😂 She’s gorgeous!
