I’m the same. Great at giving good advice but not good at solving my own problems. Ah well at least helping others solve theirs I’m taking my mind off mine

I think we all do this at times

I’m exactly the same – I find that my friends rely on me to ‘have the answers’, or at least the ‘best advice’, but they think I would be all under control when it comes to handling problems of my own :/ A big part of solving any issue is TALKING about it – even if the person you speak to has no answers, it’s the ‘getting it out in the open and off your chest’ that is the best start. I hope you find the balance soon X

We do have to listen to ourselves and take care of ourselves.

You are absolutely right you have to listen to yourself!

I understand what you mean. Sometimes we give advice to other people and don’t realize we should follow it ourselves.

  We always need to take stock and look at ourselves too!

Listen to your gut and do what you know is right for you and your family. Be gentle with yourself and don’t expect to much of yourself. Mums have a tendency to be their own harshest critic.
