Mothers Losing Sense of Identity
- Are you feeling overwhelmed by the ‘Motherload’ trying to hold it all together with an endless list of tasks?
- Do you feel unrecognisable as your prior self and miss that person you used to be?
- Do you desperately desire some regular solitude and silence and feel guilty for wanting those things?
Becoming a Mum, whilst amazing, can also be incredibly tiring and challenging too. As a mother you may let your self-care come last on the long list of things you need to achieve each week which can leave even more lack of energy and time for the things that you love.
You may feel pulled in 50 different directions at once and overwhelm can creep in or run at your headfirst some days! It’s OK to feel like you want to make a mark on the world outside of being a Mum and carve out some much deserved time to do the things that make you feel good about yourself.
