I can’t cope

I’m struggling today. Starting crashing yesterday evening. Feeling very low today. Trying to keep myself busy

Hello @Flutterbug9 sweet, I'm sorry to hear, is there anything that I can do to help or anything you'd like to talk about?

Here for you sweetheart, sending love and hugs ❤️

@Captain24 sorry sweet, i missed this post earlier and got stuck into doing things. Hope you've been able to get some sleep.

Hugs @Flutterbug9

Im out waiting for friends to arrive, so may not be back to check posts often. But i am there in spirit wishing i was sitting next you with this

I’m sorry you are struggling @Flutterbug9. Here with you in this. You are doing well to keep yourself busy.

Hey @Flutterbug9 @Captain24 @AlwaysMyself @MissGremlin

Anyone around?

What's happening? Am I missing the party?

Hey @tyme

How was your day?

Hey @Captain24 ,

Not bad today.

I went to the shops this morning to get some yoghurt for the kids for school, got a new sodda stream gas bottle, then took the two younger kids to starbucks. I said that if they want Starbucks, they have to pay for it. So the two younger ones said yes, but the oldest said no... I want to teach them the value of money.

Then came home, jumped in the pool and had lotsa fun with the kiddos... and now, I'm here. Ready and waiting for some brainstorming for tomorrow's session.

Also, after reading the recent discussion about EMDR, is this something you have doen before?

How has your day been so far?

I’m glad it’s been ok. @tyme

The kids go back Wednesday don’t they? Getting them all ready?

Starbucks sounds good. I don’t think I have ever been there. Of course all three couldn’t do it! 😜 It had to be either the oldest or the youngest. Did she get anything?

The pool sounds good. It’s pretty warm here. The dogs are really lethargic even though it’s cool inside. But I think the just struggled so much yesterday at mums.

What’s tomorrow’s session?

No I do t have any experience, I don’t really know what it is but I do know after doing chair work and struggling with it my psych said something about effects of EMDR so I’m guessing she does it. She is pretty well qualified in a lot of things. Just not ED’s or interpersonal family systems.

Im really tired and have so much to do but no motivation. I’ve only just climbed out of bed. My foul mood from last night and this morning has passed. Not sure if you read my post, if not it’s pretty rude so I’m sorry, don’t read it if you’d rather not.

Im not feeling overly great. I have so much to do. It’s overwhelming. I can’t even push myself to do anything. I was going to try and do the lawns but I think that’s really a stupid thing to do at 42. Plus I can’t get heat stroke as I have a big day of driving tomorrow.

Hey @Captain24 ,

Yes, thank you. I know you care very much. I'll wait and see how it all pans out. She starts at the new school tomorrow. But also have to say, one thing my BIL does do and drop the kids off and pick them up from school - unless my sister does it or I do it. Oh, and my sister will only be working 4 days I think... but still, if I had young kids, I wouldn't choose her role... you stay back late if there's an incident, you go in early, you have to deal with parents and sobbing teachers - no thank you!

But yes, my BIL really needs to step up. I'll keep my mouth shut and see what happens.

As for you telling people off - you go! I've had those days.. they are the don't-talk-to-me-or-i'll-bite-your-head-off days. We all have these days.. if you need it, go for it lol. That's what I say!

What time did you get up today?
