🤝 Existing wife & prospective wife · #133
Since finding out my husband will take another wife, I have neglected looking after myself. How do I start caring for myself again?
Looking after yourself is not a sign that you are not sad, but a way of making sure you are strong enough to get through all this. Stress often makes us forget to eat, sleep and move, while a tired body makes the heart break more easily. Start with one small thing: sleep at a fixed time, drink enough water, or take a short walk outside every morning. Look after your appearance for yourself, not to attract anyone's attention. Refill your emotional tank with worship, reading and supportive friends. If your appetite, sleep or mood are disturbed for a long period, see a doctor. You deserve to be cared for, and the first person who can start doing that is you. See mental health.
