As the parent of a child with cancer and relocated away from my home I'm struggling to find balance and how to best support my mental health.
My world has revolved around people pleasing, so how does one work out how to care for themselves.
With a history or anxiety I am insightful about my mental health, right now I am feeling to pull to withdraw and learn to be with myself. But how?

Ohh you sound like me. I go into hermit mode which is basic survival as I just feel so completely drained.
While I need to hide away at times I also know it's important to force myself out sometimes. Coffee with one friend or a walk. Keep it quiet and relaxing for a while and try to commit to one thing a week x
Have you looked for parent groups in the area with kids going through the same as you? Having a network of people who just GET IT is a massive thing.
