Mumsnet world - have you any energy to send?

[Teabay]

Hi all,

I'm just asking the mumsnet world for a little help. Separated 2 years ago, divorced 18 months, was abusive, I left.

I have the DC most of the time. I've moved house, changed jobs and am waaay more skint than before.

I'm finding life really hard ATM, I couldn't stay but last couple of weeks I'm finding I've lost my mojo, can't see the glass half full.

Have lost direction. Has this happened to anyone else? I just want to shut the door and not go out. Everything seems too much for me.

I'm sorry you are having a hard time. No real words of wisdom I'm afraid but perhaps the awful weather will be adding to your gloom and sping is just around the corner. Can you meet friends or do something nice to cheer yourself up. I don't mean to sound glib, I really hope you get your cheer back x

I'm here for a hand-hold if you need one.

Well-fucking-done!! for leaving an abusive relationship. That in itself is a difficult thing to accept and act on.

How many dc do you have and how old are they? Do you still have any contact with ex?

You might be suffering from the sheer fatigue of it all. The leaving, divorce, moving house and changing jobs. It's a bloody exhausting process.

It won't always feel like this. You need to give yourself firstly a pat on the back and secondly consider what you would like in the future and the practical steps you could take to achieve those.

I have two DC, primary aged.
As little contact with exh as possible, he's an EA narc who can't accept any responsibility for anything.
The weather doesn't help - and all I can see are the things I need to do at home (house half decorated, hall needs finishing painting, no carpet in living room yet..)

It seems insurmountable.
