Hey @Sunnyside226 ,
I hope you don't mind me making this thread for you.
I just wanted you to know that the whole forums community is here to support you through this challenging time.
Please look after yourself. I recognise it's hard to look after three small children on your own.

Lucky you have the weekend off
I am sitting around and thinking my legs and body feel shaking @amber22
Sorry if I ask too many questions
Do you all work the same days? Or is it just a couple of hours and 3 days a week?
Do you have plans over the weekend? @amber22

Not too many questions at all! @Sunnyside226
It really depends - we all have different shifts 🙂 I am very excited to have the weekend off to relax and try do some self-care too. Do you have anything planned for the weekend?

Oh that explains why everyone is on at different times 😂 I thought it was only the 2 people
I might take the kids to the beach or go for a bush walk to see a waterfall
I might do a food shop because I have been buying bits and pieces not a actual food shop I couldn't be ass doing it and my partner always does it 😂 I'm the kinda guy who is on for 2 minutes and out
Self care seems lovely do you like the face mask? The 4 year old is trying to get me to do one I said no 😅 I would look scary
My PTSD is playing up now with the nightmares

Oh that sounds lovely! The kids will love that @Sunnyside226
I definitely feel you with the shopping there!
Yes I love doing face masks, or having a nice bath, or even just going for a walk with a good podcast 🙂 What do you do for some self-care? You should try a facemask with the kids! It would be fun!
I'm sorry to hear about your PTSD and your nightmares - is there anything that helps you when this happens?

For self care I have really really cold showers and go for drives
I hope the kids will like the walking and waterfalls my guess is she will hate it 😅
I'm about to breakdown and cry @amber22 I am sure you have better things to do then listen to me or talk

That sounds so nice, I love going for drives too @Sunnyside226
Oh no, is there something that might be able to comfort you in this moment? Something that makes you feel better when you feel upset? Would crying maybe help? Sometimes I feel much better after I let everything out
