Hi, I’m Cheryl. I’m a 31 year old stay at home mum trying to rediscover who I am. I have been with my husband for 12 years and we have 3 beautiful children aged 9,8 and 1. After hitting rock bottom at the beginning of this year I’m now on a journey to become more than just a mum!
For a year now I have been battling postnatal depression, low self-worth and dealing with family illness in the middle of a pandemic. To say it kicked my ass is an understatement. I lost my motivation and found just getting up in the morning to look after my children a HUGE task. After a breakdown at the beginning of this year I realised things need to change and the only person who can do that is me!
After a lot of research and some counselling I realised, I’m not alone! There are a lot of women out there who feel like me. As much as I find comfort in not being alone, it’s also sad that there are so many of us who feel this way. Which leads me to why I decided to write this blog. I wanted to show all fellow mums that it’s ok to feel this way, it’s ok to take off your cape and say I’m struggling and need help. You are not alone, we are all in this together.
On a side note. I’m aware that my grammar and punctuation is not the best. So please don’t judge.
Not just a mum
