As many are aware, we been through some tough times that really challenged my mental health. The last couple weeks were hell for us as a family. To point I stopped going out for fear of agro. I will never understand the need to be horrible to others, there’s no need for that.
We been given a free holiday from a community group that provide courses, child care, after school clubs for children. We don’t usually go on holidays during the term times, however we accepted it as something to relax and help build us back on track. After wards, I’ve been offered an opportunity that I’d be dumb to refuse, there’s a waiting list for it but I’m more than happy to wait. I had some home truths said to me as I’ve been eager to get back to work; though I’m on step on right path I’m nowhere near ready to get back into employment. It does upset me, of Course the professionals are right and I shouldn’t be rushing myself too soon. I’m keeping up with my driving, so should focus on doing that bit first. The schools are aware of the hell we been through, and authorised my children to have the leave as they believe we as a family deserve it. As I was trying to budget for food to last us till we next get paid, I did stress a little about food. We then had a surprise food supply given to us for the holiday, it has everything we need including toothpaste etc… I’m so overwhelmed with the kindness and generosity that has been given to us. We will remember this and will repay it back by donating food and other products to help families who may be struggling. It’s the best feeling to help others, something my husband and I always do, we never want anything in return, and when we’ve had some shit going on it’s overwhelming to receive that kindness back. I’ve been crying on and off due to the shock of it.
I had harassing neighbours, but one thing I’m grateful is they’ve helped me tackle my mental health by asking for more help, and building up relationships that weren’t quite strong with. So all this amazing things has happened due to it all. I can only thank them for showing me that not all people are vile rude cretins.
