Beating the down days

CornflakeGin · 07/10/2018 06:23

I split from my not so happy marriage in Feb this yr. It came out of the blue to everyone on the outside. As I'm living quite a distance from family and for various reasons I haven't had the greatest amount of support from them and some friends know others don't. I've basically dealt with the trama myself. I'm on the whole doing really well, kids are on a good place and my relationship with ex is ok but getting more strained in recent weeks. I'm guessing this is normal part of the process. Anyway when I get the downs they hit me hard and I'm trying to find tips and things to help me pick myself up. So any advice?

Believe in yourself and look after yourself. You are your kids rock and role model. Plan to do things with them even if it's a walk or a museum or have a lazy day or bake. I remember making pizza with mine.
Have a bath, read a book, sit in the sun (if you can find some).
Stay strong Star
