Your not weak...your strong and just need a little time..xx
Cheryl!! Don't let the rest of the world get to you, my love.
It's madness I know, but you need to keep the centre of you for yourself. Worry is one of the worst afflictions we can have - that's speaking as someone who knows.
As Gypsy says, give yourself time, remember that you are the best you can be for everyone you love and accept that those who love you will always be there even if they don't know how to cope with the worries you have right now. Take some time to love and respect Number one - yourself...it's really important.
I'm thinking of you! xxx
Cheryl.. first time I'm visiting and see that you are not feeling well at all!! What's wrong hon?

Cherylann, first time here for me too, but I have just read this post and the one you did on the tenth, and I'm really sorry to see you feeling so low.
Our self-esteem can take a real pummelling at times; sometimes it has to do with how we perceive ourselves physically, sometimes with how we think we're doing as parents, as partners, as providers, as domestic "copers" ... and then sometimes the whole thing seems to come crashing down on us all at once. I know - I go there too sometimes.
Aim for baby steps. Do one thing that makes you feel good. (Don't go to the shops - that's a symptom of the problem, and holds no cure - I know!). For me it's taking the time to go for a walk, then setting the table for a family dinner. The meal itself doesn't have to be labour-intensive, just presented well and with care. The whole house can be in chaos around me, the washing can pile up, the in-tray overflowing, but this is one thing that gives me a feeling of tranquility and control, and the cooking is therapy for me. Stangely, other good things seem to follow.
As for work - it's hard. Finding part-time work to go with school hours is a nightmare, but the local paper often has ads aimed at mothers looking for part-time work. When you're ready, maybe have a peep, but it sounds like you need to take the time to get stronger first.
One tiny step at a time, one little victory each day. And be kind to yourself. You are clearly loved.

Cheryl Ann, Margie has given you some terrifically good practical advice there. I never seem to be able to do that, not being all that practical myself, but she's right. Tiny steps, and focus on one important thing at a time.
I was wondering if you maybe feel this way partly because you are home alone too much. I don't know of course, as I don't know what your daily routines are, but perhaps if finding a job is so difficult where you are, do some volunteer work? It's something you can do in the time that you have, gets you out of the house and away from the shops, and gives you a great sense of satisfaction in doing something really useful and rewarding. Perhaps the renewed energy that such workd could give you would force the other issues in your life back into place.
Still thinking of you xxx
::Still sitting with a tea and soup.. its still hot.. she must be *hot stuff*::
Cheryl, I hope you're feeling better today.
