Am Not Coping

Hey @MDT hope you’ve had a good day.

Mines very stressful with my daughter having issues with her ex partner.

She hasn't said anything else to me @Zoe7 so that is alright. She puts a lot of pressure on herself and when something doesn't go the way it is meant to, she gets upset. Am hoping with school starting tomorrow she can get back into a normal routine and that will help a bit.

Afternoon @MDT

I hope it helps too @Snowie She sounds like her mum - putting so much pressure on herself - hope getting back to school and the routine helps both of you.

Hi @Zoe7. Really sorry to hear that your Dad hung up on you. I think its likely that he was angry and frustrated FOR you as opposed to AT you. Its unfortunate that he was unable to properly express that to you, and succeeded only in portraying anger. But good on you for dealing so well with it.

The school placement issue, though not yet finalised, does sound promising, with a nearby school. Hoping its your preferred grade 3/4. With you starting work on Monday, they really leave notification of placements to the last moment, dont they.

I heard a news report earlier today on the radio, that the fires in Tassie had worsened. Hope everyone is okay on our Island State.

Hi everyone else here too including @BlueBay @Snowie @MDT @Teej @Sam3

Hehe @Zoe7 she is like me in a lot of ways!

Afternoon @Former-Member , hope your day is going well

Thanks @Snowie thats very kind of you, and I appreciate it. To be honest however, the title of @Zoe7 thread here is very apt for me at present. I dont feel that I am coping very well at all. My body is telling me I have run a marathon, and need rest. But my mind wont allow it.

Yes the fires seemed to have worsened in the south of the state - I am safe where I am. The smoke haze has dissipated since the rain this morning but it was not enough to help with the fires at all @Former-Member The area is closed ff to everyone - including residents - many towns have been evacuated - some because of the smoke. It really is worse down here than I think the national media has shown.

I will start on Monday if this is all sorted out tomorrow - it does not keave me any time to get the class ready or things organised but it is what it is and I can't change it so have to just do what I can.

No doubt my father is still angry with himself too and while that doesn't help me I hope he realises just how much that hurt me.

Hurricanes play tonight so I am looking forward to that.

Not my thread @Former-Member - is for anyone that is not coping Hon - and if that is how you are feeling then we are here for you. It certainly has been a traumatic couple of days for you so it is no wonder you feel like you have run a marathon

Sorry to hear that @Former-Member. Its hard when our minds are going in overdrive and there is little we can do about it.

@Zoe7didn't realise the fires were still so bad down there. Not much reporting of it up here at all. Good that the cricket is on again tonight.

Yes they really are that bad @Snowie So much of the south west wilderness has been burnt out and so close to many towns. Some houses have been lost and many towns in the area evacuated. There are also fires burning still in the centre of the state and similarly with the SW fires they have burnt out thousands of acres of bushland.
