Hiding in the car park

I’ve gone out for the weekly shop… feeling very overwhelmed so just sat in the car park crying and not even made it inside yet.

really struggling these last few months and think it’s time to ask for help now.

I'm just sending you a hug.

You've got this.

Not to make light of your situation but maybe this will make you smile- I once sat in a supermarket car park listening to the radio for about 45 mins just to get some bloody peace and quiet, then went in to do my shopping…and got hit with a fine for staying in the car park for more than 90 minutes 🤦‍♀️.

I hope you find the help you need.

Another hug. Take some deep breaths, breathe out slowly.

This did make me smile, thank you! Luckily I had 3 hours today so my cry and shop were well within the time.

How are you doing now @Shimmeringstar?

Thank you for asking, I’m still feeling down and like life is getting on top of me but the cry did help.

I just need the courage now to ask for help.

Well done for recognising your need OP- have you got an idea of who/ how to ask for help?

EvenStillIWantTo · 13/04/2024 19:17

I think I'm at the same stage, love.

If you want to talk about it, go for it. I'm really struggling today.

I’m not quite sure where to go first - I’ll start with DH, I don’t think even he realises the extent of my struggles.
