Win: I’ve been feeling more connected with my husband recently. There’s more laughter in joking in our home. Which is very different from last month, when I think we were both a little stressed out and not communicating well. It’s a good reminder that there are ups and downs, that sometimes when things aren’t so great I can remember that it’s only temporary.
Worry: I’ve been feeling a little overwhelmed, like I don’t have enough time to do all the things I want to do and all the things I have to do. Sometimes all the self care stuff starts to feel like more items to check off. Trying to find some balance and forgive myself when I don’t get to everything.
Welcome to the newcomers! I hope you’ve been able to find some topics on the site that resonate.
