Not Coping

Hey everyone how are you all?

@RiverSeal @Shaz51 @NatureLover @tyme @Former-Member @Eve7 @Former-Member @amber22 @Jynx @FloatingFeather

I'm not doing great at all today. I'm feeling down. I also keep beating myself up for everything and feel like I'm just failing. I need a break from everything. It's getting so hard that I don't know how to keep going anymore especially since I can't talk to anyone around me as they are leaving me or don't understand.

Hope you don’t mind me reaching out I just really need a chat and though I could come on here and vent and talk for a bit.

Thank you

Re: Not Coping

lol well you will be please to know we found an answer @Glisten
Lock door he’s been getting outside from with key, lock it from outside because he can get the inside lock undone easily, get back inside through another door that locks with a key but that one locks from both in and out… so I can lock that one with a key when I get back inside
Would I trust it in a fire? No
Does it stop our 3 year old escapee child? Yes so let’s just leave it at that lol
Why can’t all internal doors not just lock with a key? Why only some

Re: Not Coping

@ArraDreaming you have ADHD bonus anxiety. I wonder if @Jynx has anxiety with her ADHD?

@ArraDreaming mate are you being honest or hard on your good self, about needing ADHD medication?

How does ADHD affect you and your family? You don’t have to answer that question.

My son has the worst ADHD emotional meltdowns if something goes wrong. Not at all measured and he 39. He is only using Medicinal Cannabis Therapy costs a fortune.

Hey @Birdofparadise8 ,

I haven't seen the post yet. I'll have a look.

Yeah COVID. It's my second time this year. That's okay. It is what it is.

Hope you have a good day.

Re: Not Coping

Oh my stars LOL @ArraDreaming Your 3 year old reminds me of my son at the same age 😂

I could hear mine calling me. Walked around the outside perimeter of the house, couldn’t see him, could still hear him.

Looked up. He was at the top of a windmill. No fear of heights. With my heat in my mouth, I watched climb down fine. Very proud of himself.

I told him how clever he was and I was very proud that he got down safely. That “you are so good climbing, you can climb all the trees in the yard and your swings. But can the adults have the windmill just for themselves?”

It worked. Parenting is HARD to do well.
