How do you lift yourself out of a rut? I feel like I've tried everything, read every self help book going nothing seems to help me change my mindset. I know everything I should be doing to help myself but for some reason I can't do it! I need to lose about 2 stone, im finding it almost impossible I have zero will power I just feel like a failure. I dont know how to put how I'm feeling into words very well, the only way I can describe it is I find it very hard to cope with the everyday challenges of life..being a housewife (which I hate) looking after 2 kids, running my own business, replying back to everyone, making time for friends, trying to get my kids to eat right, feeling awful about my appearance due to my weight, not having any support apart from my husband who works long hours, feeling like im not attracted to my husband anymore....I could go on the list is endless im just so overwhelmed with everything. And it always feels like everyone else has their shit together so why can't I?? Sometimes I feel like im just a deeply flawed person who is never going to be happy.

@Darragh16 I feel you.

First of all no one has their shit together. Just looking at mumsnet should confirm this for you.

Secondly before you pick up another self help book read SELF HELP FOR YOUR NERVES by claire weekes. It will teach you to self heal first and then make changes in a holistic way.

Thirdly. You have soooo much going on! Young children plus running a business is no walk in the park.

Be REALLY kind to yourself. Congratulate yourself for coming this far despite feeling the way you do. This takes real courage. Daffodil
