I could possibly have the life I've always dreamt of if it weren't for my self harm TRIGGER WARNING

If it weren't for my self harm and my illness I'd b a very different person that's for sure. I have now reached an age where my dreams are starting to slip thru my fingers, or at least that's how it feels.

I have dreamed of having children since I was a child myself and if anything it's a desperate yearning that has only gotten stronger over the years.

However I am not with anyone nor do I plan to be. My illness played havoc with my last relationship and I'd rather be single than go thru, or put anyone else thru, that again.

I have been told many times how good I am with children and babies and how I would make a good mum. If it was easier or I wasn't ill I believe I would have children already.

The problem is that I am mentally ill and still self harming I tend to get better while in therapy but get worse again when said therapy stops. This is worrying me especially when it comes to me wanting to be a mum..
And then there's the matter of how to get pregnant without a bloke. I'd be looking at a lot of money to go thru private ivf or I could go down the free donor UK groups on fb etc but I would feel less comfortable with doing that as legally Itd become more complex and I am not sure about it.

In an ideal world I would go private ivf and would have the money to do so. Short of having a windfall or a massive surprise backpayment this is looking unlikely right now.

And finally I am looking at doing a childcare course in September and I have applied online for this already so that's possibly another hurdle as I can't cope with having kids and doing a college course at the same time.

Finally I would have to come off my antipsychotics if I do decide to get pregnant as otherwise it could harm the baby. I've just turned 29 and feel like time is running out

It's so difficult thinking about things that might have been had mental illness not gotten in the way.

Good luck with your childcare course. It sounds like you'll be great at that!

Would you consider fostering? That could be something to aim for if when you reach a stable enough point if it is does end up being a bit too late for you to have your own children.



No other sadness in the world would do

The equivalent to level 3. It’s hard, lots of assessments. What level are you applying for?
