Hi, I'm new here. Well I've been visiting this sight for a while and it has helped me so much along my journey.
Short insight. I recently fled an abusive relationship, like many of us it wasn't my first.. I somehow found the strength to leave. Been through all the emotions. (Still coping with these crazy things)
And I'm currently in a women's refuge. Must I add to anyone who is on the verge of leaving, or having thoughts, a women's refuge is not as bad as we all think. I have an 8 year old son. We are safe and that's the main point. Since being here I have attended the freedom project. Which again I can't stress how benifical this is. If anyone has the opportunity to go on this please do! I'm also undergoing counselling. With the help and support of the lady's who run the refuge. I feel like I have come so so far, however I no I've got so far to go. It's a rollercoaster.
The reason I'm asking for help as my time period for the refuge is coming to and end and I'm absolutely peterfied of moving on alone, in a new area (unable to return to my home town) being here I feel so safe and having the support is comforting. Since being here I'm on tablets for my anxiety and depression. And the fear of leaving is causing it to rocket.
I'm not incapable, I have brought my son up alone since I was 17, ran my house, worked part time and attended university. (This all had to stop as unable to return to the area) so I'm not incapable but the thought of being alone is freaking me out. I've googled support available but haven't got very far. Does anyone no any one I could contact ?
Thank you in advance x
