Hiya All,
What a tough year or 2 it's been for you, me too. I am a single parent, After having my amazing little baby girl (2 and a half years ago), my business - Personal Training started to decline due to many issues all happening at the same time. In the end I could not afford to get to The Gym, renew my Instructor insurance or renew my tax disc. I had to give in!! I had tried everything, even delivering Kleeneze catalogues around my local area with my baby in the pram!
I lost my flat that I had previously worked hard to get, they repossessed it on The 24th December last year, the day before Christmas!! I had found a place to rent the month before and for the first time in my life have had to claim benefits. Lost my car too. Hence all this worry and pressure has led to depression/stress. I have debts which are chasing me up left, right and centre. I will probably have to declare bankrupt in The New Year.
But hey ho I am still alive with my most precious gift - my daughter. It's weird as it's been lovely and amazing being a mum, but all this other stuff going on so extremely tough too. I so want to help myself and my daughter get back out of this hole, but it seems I can not! Whatever I try, I have lost all my confidence in my ability to teach Fitness too now! But I am pinning my hopes on this just being a stormy season and all stormy seasons eventually end and the sun shines through.
All the best for the New Year, I hope it is a year of blessings for you :D
