Hi,

Feel I need to share this to move on.. After losing my job due to physical illness two years ago, I've really let myself go, neglecting all self care. This has to stop, but I've also realised I never really learned to look after myself in the first place. I'm also really, really angry I now have to learn all of it by myself!

Growing up, my dad didn't care and my mum took care of me because it made her feel good about herself, not because she realised I needed it and wanted me to be happy. She'd actually get upset when I tried to become more independent, I guess she didn't want me to leave her..

Anyway, I need to get over this and start taking care of myself, and am hoping sharing my anger will help me to finally let go of it.. Thanks for reading
