Lost in motherhood
🍂🍂🍂🍂🍂🍂🍂🍂
When I became a mother, I gained a love I’d never known the likes of before – but I also lost myself.
At the time, I didn’t realise it was happening. I simply didn’t have time to. I was consumed with the humdrum routine of washing and feeding and doing the school run; to dealing with the physical, emotional and mental effects of a long-term lack of sleep. Parenting is hard, we all know that. I accepted it as my lot, and buried the growing feeling that I wasn’t entirely happy.
I clearly managed to pull myself out of that rut 3 times before...
But this time round I'm struggling!
Maybe because I'm older?
I eat for convenience rather than health...
I dont brush my hair for days at a time..
I wear baggy Jumpers ALWAYS...
I dont take pride in my appearance...
I dont workout...
I have zero drive...
I dont even recognise myself...
I adore being a mummy!
I really do!
But I miss me!
