Today I've been unwell....tummy bug. So my 6 week old ds was with my MIL. When he had gone i felt like a weight had been lifted. Which then made me feel guilty. I went to bed feeling really low....like really unable to do anything etc. When i woke the feeling continued and i really didnt want to get up and go to pick my lo up yet. So i decided to have a cup of tea and a hot bath. Still felt crappy. Then i decided to put some music on.....dirty dancing was the first song on. I danced round the bedroom!! First thing - music lifted my mood almost instantly! Secondly i needed nappies - so i got wrapped and went for a brisk walk in the blustery sunshine. Secondly - this really helped just seeing life going on around me. Sound of kids in the playground etc.
I also put a load of washing in to help me feel i had achieved something!!
I know its not easy but it really helped me and now i feel more human amd like i can cope again.
No real point to this other than i wanted to share what helped me today.
Hope we are all having a good day.
