"Who looks outside, dreams; who looks inside, awakes." ~ Carl Jung
The world doesn't stop. Life keeps on going whether you're aware of it or not, and able to function in it is a different story. No matter how badly you're feeling, things still need to get done. Feeding the kids, eating, laundry, cleaning, work, school. Just because you're sick doesn't mean that all of these things stop needing attention. Especially the kids.
It has been a daily struggle for me trying to keep up with my kids. I have two, one of each gender. They're young, and need a lot of time, attention, and love from me. Not to mention the constant trail of toys they leave in their wake. Something else to either get on them about, or clean up myself. I'm trying to get myself better (and I admit, I'm much better than I was a couple of months ago), and trying to make sure all of their needs are met. I'm not sure what I would do without my parents help. They've been awesome the past two years we've lived with them, but they've really stepped up to the plate in the past few months. Having Mom and Dad has helped me be able to really focus on myself. To look inward, and work on my coping skills and feel better. I'm slowly taking back the responsibility of raising my own children, still with a helping hand from Mom and Dad.
Don't be afraid to ask for help. Working on recovery is so very important, and asking for help is not a sign of weakness.
