Being a new parent can be challenging. I run support groups and a phoneline so that people can access support at the tricky time. Right now, I'm finding parenting very tough indeed but am not aware of a phoneline or groups for me to vent my frustrations, be listened to really well, get some TLC, lots of reassurance and nice cake. It's transferable really so let me tell myself what I know:
I just need to reduce my isolation - I'm not the only one that's going through this. It will get better - none of these challenges last forever and we'll all come out the other side. There will be a time again when I'm allowed to shower in peace, where my 100% attention isn't constantly needed. We're just adapting to this new phase, learning new skills and working things out the best we can. I'm doing well, I'm doing well, I'm doing well...
Today I should get a break and am looking forwards to a meal with a friend and some adult time - hurrah!
