I find it really difficult to give myself "permission" to fall apart at home. It tends to take me a long time to pull myself together (probably because I bottle it up for so long). So I worry that I will be needed or that my children will see me upset. It's a bit of a vicious circle I'm afraid.

I like myself's idea of a safe space, but can't see how i could create it. A bubbly bath might work though. Thanks for the suggestion.
