Losing my Identity and Feeling Alone 😔

I’ve noticed that since becoming a mother, I’ve been losing my sense of self, and I’m not sure how to regain it. Things are tougher now because I’m going through a divorce, and the kids are mostly with me. I feel like I don’t have a moment to myself. At this point, going to work feels like my only break. I love my kids, but I’m struggling to find who I am. I used to be vibrant and enjoyed spending time with friends. Now, I feel isolated and don’t have anyone to talk to. I know things will improve as time goes on and the kids grow, but right now, it feels really hard and not at all what I envisioned for my life

I felt this in my soul, big hugs girl.

I could have written this myself… I feel like I’m just a shell trying to get through the day. Literally in survival mood until bedtime

I’m sorry you’re going through this but as you stated this will improve with time and this is a transitional period for you, nothing remains the same, just hold onto to the thought that this too shall pass. It’s hard but not unbearable.

This right here! Know that you’re not alone, in the struggle of motherhood.

Sending you strength. 🥰

I definitely can relate, but just know it will get better. When I feel like things are just too much I take a hot bubble bath and put my favorite music on. I'm not sure how old your kids are but my oldest is 12 and she knows when Mom says I'm gonna go take a bubble bath that I'm overstimulated and she'll get her 5 year old sister and baby brother and play with them in her room. I get to relax and they have themselves a dance party in big sisters room. I know that may not be much, but it's what I can do right now. Maybe on your way home from work, you can stop by your favorite place to eat or whatever it is that brings you joy.

I’ve been through a divorce it was tough I’m sorry sending hugs

I can definitely agree with this! I rarely find time for myself, and when I do make time for myself, the guilt sets in.

Hi there , This season will end remember how you are now is the season you are in .. it won’t last things will change, your children will grow and your divorce will be a chapter of your past . Try to carve out whatever time you can for you - even if you get a 10 minute window a day make sure that is 10 mins for you ! And something that you want for you ! Xx you will gain more time as the children grow xx You got this you can do this … be gentle with yourself Sending love xx

I agree with this to it's hard to find myself and I never have time to myself since I had my son and I don't think I will ever have time for myself

Sending positive energy your way. 🫂
