Feeling Stuck: Is This All There Is?

Anyone struggle with the idea that this is it. These few metres. No travelling, no future work prospects, no real new experiences, just surviving day to day trying to find the energy to look after children & housework. I love my children, but I want more fur them and more for me. I wants holidays abroad, days out, pets and parties. How can this be it.

      Yep, same for me. My partner is really helpful and supportive, but I feel so guilty when I can't do more for him or my kids. I require so much rest just to stay afloat.

      Yes. I’m so sick of trying to survive each day. Nobody understands, they just get irritated with you.. and I’m pretty much non functioning at this point.

      I definitely struggle with this… everybody making future plans for their lives and I’m just here trying to get through the day. It’s a horrible feeling. I’m thankful to be hanging in there but it’s hard it really is. It’s a complete struggle! It’s almost like everybody else is living life and you’re just surviving all of the time.

        @JustRachelle , feels horrible doesn’t it. And there’s absolutely nothing we can do about it and that’s not fair. 🫥
