    • About Me

      I'm a mum of 2 and have been with my partner for over 9 years. I'm very good at taking on too much and forgetting about myself! Life sometimes gets too much. I really struggle with my anxiety and panic attacks. I try as hard as I can but sometimes it seems so pointless. I don't think any of my friends or family really understand and I don't like to burden them. I'm really good at putting on a public face. But behind closed doors its often a different story entirely. I love my kids and my fiance but sometimes think they'd be so much better off without me.
