Parenting can be hard. 

Especially when juggling the family household, work commitments, and anything else you want to do.
Some days we can feel so overwhelmed, they seem to blur into weeks or months.

At times we can be so consumed by everything, we may begin to doubt ourselves and our ability to cope with every part of being a parent and what that fully entails,

especially when considering the additional demands we need to cater to for a child with a disability.

Clearing your emotional clutter.

gaining personal confidence is the first step
- picture of me while doing one of our group activities -  

Just as it is therapeutic to clear our home of physical clutter we collect along our life's journey,

we also need to clear our minds of the emotional “Baggage” that we may accumulate over the years.

For me, over the years, I have fought with the concept of what it is to be emotionally balanced,

as I would always become stressed about the perception that others may have of me.

What is SPD.... Sensory Processing Disorder????

Today I was able to touch base with this area during our Skill & Connect support group,
so I thought I would share it here as well, as a reminder to some or understanding for others.......

Emotional Wellbeing - Family Stability -

I am struggling to express in words the way I am feeling lately

.....when things become so overwhelming, we go through the day in a fog, or haze,

facing a realisation that everything around us is crumbling down from what we knew or want it to be.

After working so hard to reach a level of calm and stability, to see it gone in the blink of an eye.

With some days being consumed by everything, and having no visual way out.

Feeling alone with no-one to understand or help with what we're going through,

then doubting ourselves and our ability to cope.

This may be the reality for us, for you, for many ......This is what we face almost every day.

Physical Health and Emotional Well-Being - Cycle of Emotions -

Parenting can be hard at times for anyone,   

Parenting an Autistic child will teach us this and more, 

It is a continual cycle of highs and lows, positive moments, and trying situations.   

  

Some days we can feel overwhelmed with everything.   

We may feel alone with no-one to understand or help with what we're going through.  

Causing us to doubt ourselves and our ability to cope.
