feeling discouraged (sorry to be debbie downer)
Today has left me in low spirits. I try all I can to be happy but it's so hard. I've already cried four times today. I was doing really great for myself and now circumstances have changed and I'm struggling with everything you can imagine. I don't want to sit here and feel no one understands my plight because there are people out there in worse situations but I'm feeling extremely discouraged. The only advice I ever get from people is pray and just be happy but honestly nothing is showing through, I just see a long dark tunnel and I'm walking it alone. I don't question my ability to become a great mother for my child but I'm having trouble controlling my feelings and beliefs and providing for myself because I was abandoned, so I am also feeling stuck...like I won't be able to make my little girls life any good. I just wish happiness was more obtainable and I felt more comfortable doing everything with myself as the only support.

Just take it day by day, week by week. I know it's hard to see the light at the end of the tunnel, but try not to focus too much on the big picture because you'll just stress harder. Deal with one issue at a time. Your abandonment has made you a stronger woman even if you don't recognize that, and I'm positive you will use that experience as a way to do good by your baby. Keep your chin up buttercup, we're all rooting for you!
<3 anytime hun. sometimes we just need some kind words to perk us back up. Go watch some funny youtube videos or indulge in your favorite sweet and treat yourself ;)
Thank you. That made me cry I hope for the last time today. It's odd how kind words mean so much to me but I really appreciate your encouragement.
