You keep on nurturing those relationships with family, it is so important. Something I learned in my sitch is that this is a really important time for you to be/stay connected with people. Maybe get in touch with friendships you have let slide. There are also ways to 180 and GAL without having to go out all the time. I experiemented with different hairstyles and makeup. I also changed a couple of things in the house (re-arranged some furniture, started lighting candles more often etc.) I also did more with the kids. We played board games, watched movies together etc.
Something else that is really important is positive self talk. I picked a couple of phrases to work on my self esteem that I would tell myself over and over again, and it really helped on the dark days. One of my phrases was "I am a fabulous and attractive woman!"
I want to hear what you are going to say to yourself... post it here so you can really work on believing it and we can support you.
