Ahhh Jenna, I have a similar drafted post to your sentiments… and it’s so hard when all the things don’t work as they used to. I’ve found this year to be similar in terms of my mental health, for different reasons, but it’s so challenging when all the practices that used to soothe and settle don’t anymore. But as you say there is always hope… and I’ve actually found new ways and different tools and it’s expanded my awareness and capacity in different ways. It must have been so hard when your daughter was ill, terrifying in fact. Sending you big hugs and also gratitude for your honest shares. Xxx
Thank you for your lovely comment Lauren ❤️. I'm so sorry that you've had a challenging time too, and it can be really hard when what used to help us doesn't so much anymore. It can amplify those hard feelings too. I'm so glad that you were able to find new and different ways to ground and soothe - I'd love to hear what those practices are if you felt comfortable sharing. Thank you ❤️, it was an awful time and it'll always stay with me, but I've also got so much gratitude for how fast she was treated and how well she's recovered. We are very lucky. Xx
Thank you lovely, I will happily share and hopefully will have a post that explores them a little more soon. Seem to be in a bit of a state of 'stuckness' when it comes to writing on here at the moment!! xx
