You're welcome. There were literally months I didn't even really fancy getting a magazine, but would buy Cosmo anyway just for your column (I don't know if that will make you feel good or a bit creeped out, but there it is 😂). Really pleased to have come across your writing again
Thank you for following, and happy new year to you too x
It sounds like you've been having a real time of it, I hope things are starting to look up.
I can really relate to everything you've said - it's hard to speak up and admit you need help, and I do believe it stems from our childhoods as, let's be honest, most everything does. I currently find it hard to admit if I'm having a hard day with my children. I have three aged 13 weeks, 2 years and 4 years, but have a habit of telling myself I chose this and therefore am not allowed to admit when it's a struggle. I'm working on it.
As an aside, I randomly looked you up this morning after thinking about your old Cosmo column (not sure why I was thinking about it, as if I recall correctly it was many, many years ago that you used to write it) and was so happy to find your Substack!
Happy new year, I hope you have a good one, with no broken bones and very good health X
