We HAVE to normalise feeling the “uncomfortable” feelings, without slapping a label on someone or chucking some medication in their face!

14/2/24

Its Alyssa’s birthday today AND Valentines day, a double whammy of depression if i’m honest. Still in the first year so both are firsts, first v-day without Dan and being technically “single” and Alyssa’s first birthday without her Daddy. I had a crappy sleep then both kids up at 6am being noisy and annoying. Dylan can’t handle Alyssa getting presents and getting to choose what’s for dinner etc so add that in, so much fun! And guys, I’m not ashamed to say I feel down, sad and frankly depressed today. I feel flat, deflated. Why the fuck wouldn’t I? we HAVE to normalise feeling the “uncomfortable” feelings too, without slapping a label on someone or chucking some medication in their face. ITS NORMAL TO FEEL DEPRESSED THAT YOUR LIFE PARTNER AND KIDS DADDY DIED BRO. Ok friends, just had to get that out lol.
