When does this constant sick feeling go and how do I tell my kids?

[ReginaPhalange2]

Just that really, he’s found a place so is moving out.
I feel sick all day every day and how am I going to tell my kids (6 and 3)
Help please 😫

Hi OP,

Sorry you are upset. Can you tell us a little more about what has happened?

Am assuming it is a DP or DH you are talking about. Has he met someone else? Have you been arguing?

Sorry to say it but that sick feeling can last for months.
Is he the father of the kids?
Is he supporting them financially?
This is a horrible time so get friends and family around to support you.
In all honesty, it took me a year to get back to me after I split with ExH.
There is no time limit though.
You just need support and to be kind to yourself.
FYI - ice-lollies and sugary tea got me through the first couple of months.
I couldn't face anything solid.
So if you are the same try liquid stuff.
Soup, smoothies, anything to keep your sugar levels up and keep yourself hydrated.
(((((HUGS))))) it's truly shit!!!
But, like all of us on here, you will get through it.
But you won't feel that way for a good while yet.

I still feel it over 2 years later. You have to just plod along in spite of it and take pleasure from time with your kids x

I relied a lot on my mother and looking back it wasn't healthy as she'd make snarky comments to me etc (Long story.)

My few friends were a tower of strength and support.

My children were the focus of everything and I made sure we had fun.

That sick feeling is anxiety. If it starts to take over your life, please see your GP. There are medications you can take. At the beginning its normal to feel like this but it can get worse and certainly shouldn't be lasting years!!

Yes I’m lucky (so far) everything is amicable.

I’m a sahm I just can’t believe this has Happened really 😢

hi i ended my relationship 2 weeks ago and i still have it, although it has improved. be kind to yourself and let people help you. the more amicable you guys can be the easier it is for the children, i am very good friends with the father of my kids although it did take a while to achieve and a whole lot of me biting my tongue.

i'm finding protien smoothies and regular excersize is getting me throu

Yeah protein smoothies. I’m managing 5 classes a week but I know I’m going to come crashing down as I’m eating very little.

Thanks everyone x
