It's Okay To Admit There's Struggles!

131.

I really want to write about some struggles I'm facing right now being a new mummy but I don't want to come across miserable alllllll the time because I love being a mum! Do I stay honest and true and just write what I feel or sugar coat the tough stuff and act like it's all okay???

😕

Sod it!!

Now whether this is a hormonal thing or if it's something deeper, the truth is, I am struggling! I've wrote before about wanting a best friend etc but it feels like it's more than that now, I feel, alone!

I felt alright for the first few weeks, you are in that new baby bubble, lots of people come to visit and it's all round love but then, like now, there's none of that. This isn't about attention, people work, life is a continuous thing, I guess it's just highlighted my aloneness, my worries and anxieties about everything.

I took baby girl for a walk around in her pram this morning and I just kept thinking to myself 'my god I'm so alone' even when I'm with people I feel it. I feel like I can't string any thoughts together that aren't baby related. Then I feel bad because people don't wanna hear about babies all the time...hmm ironic 😂

There's stupid stuff like even tho I've changed her nappy in the tiniest of toilets on the floor I absolutely dread the thought she'll poop in public! SHES A BABY that's what they do, especially Millie, she shits all the time 😂 I over think that if she cries people will think I can't manage, I get hot and sweaty overthinking about strangers rather than a crying baby. BRAIN URGH.

I darent use public transport and I'm too frightened to drive so I feel stuck! Adding to the aloneness that's overwhelming at the moment.

I've been trying to brush off this feeling for a while now, I devour chocolate to make myself feel better but then ultimately feel worse because ya know, fat! It's like my brain won't allow me to enjoy it all. I love my little girl like you wouldn't believe! When she smiles at me, my god I can't explain it! When she chatters away to me in her baby talk I just melt! It's amazing! But this is hard!

I have a heart that wants to love everyone and be friends with everyone and I have a brain that just makes me feel sad. And I feel ashamed that I feel this way! I'm judging myself for it, I don't want anyone to judge me because of it.

...and breathe!

My letter to MND

22. Dear you, I want to start off by saying I don't like you. From the day we have met all you have done is cause pain, you have caused misery! That is all you do for everyone you meet. You find them at their best and demolish their whole being. You break them down to the point where there is no fight left, but they will fight you until the very end knowing they will never win. One day they will win, one day we will all break YOU down so you're not here any more. None of us like you, but you bring us all closer together. You make us realise that we can't go on just floating by, you make us realise that time is the most precious thing any one in the world has got! And with that precious time we have to make as many wonderful memories possible, we have to tackle all the hurdles you throw at us so that you know we will stick together and fight you. I have the displeasure of knowing you, so many others have the displeasure of living  with you. For those I can't i...

Arsenal, Tears and Happiness!

26. We meet again my loves, how ya diddling? I'm good, I have two weeks off work now :D nothing major is planned...oh wait HARRY POTTER STUDIOS and bonfire night, I love bonfire night, the magic of the fireworks and sparklers is just so beautiful. I will definitely try and get some pictures of the fireworks and sparklers of the bonfire I'm planning on going too.  Is it just in the UK we celebrate bonfire night?  I'm currently listening Marmozets - Captivate You, I've heard this band quite a lot on Kerrang radio and just love this song, it gets me bouncing around in my seat. I downloaded their album and it's pretty belting I have to say! It was on repeat everyday this past week on the bus, a definite boost before work.  I don't know if I told you guys that my Dads best friend, Steve, contacted Arsenal (my Dad is obsessed) and explained his situation and how much he loves the team and always has done, and they wrote him back to say they would send Dad...

End of an era

 10 years...10 long but very fast years!! Okay, I admit, I'm late to the 10 year blog anniversary, like 7 months late haha but I've been busy. I can't quite believe I started writing on here over 10 years ago. About my Dad, who has now been gone 10 years as of only a few days ago! Which is mental. This pocket of space helped me a lot back then, and it continued to help a little while after but it's definitely time for me to say goodbye to this space now. It served me well back then, but like we all do, I've grown and found other things now that suit me better. You see, I couldn't express in real life how I felt back then, what I was dealing with watching my Dad with MND. So this was my voice. Then I realised oh wow I can say a lot of things here that I can't express due to fear or embarrassment and general learning things about myself etc. Who knew writing a few words on a few posts could help heal so many broken pieces. I'll always be pretty grateful fo...
