    I’ve recently had a life changing occurrence due to me being distracted from the million and one things going on inside my head. It only happened yesterday, then today I forgot to collect my son from school as they finished early, a mom had to ring me outside the school.

    I’ve destroyed the side of my car off a pole while not concentrating. It’s all coming ontop of me lately.

    You have had a rough couple of days between this and your issue with Pennies.

    Yes it is overwhelming at times but the positives far far outweigh the negatives. Sometimes you just forget to see the happiness right in front of you.

    Do you have a support network around you? Partner, family etc. You should reach out and tell them how you're feeling. Without sounding insensitive but this forum is the not the correct place to be asking or looking for advice.

    Talk to someone, anyone. A problem shared is a problem halved.
