Does being at work help? Is it a useful distraction for you @Ant7?

Re: Anyone feel like chatting?
@soul yeah I don’t mind being at work. I really don’t know what to do I hate feeling like this and I try but it just takes something small and I am a mess. And I hide it from everyone so no one knows my pain

Time for you to dig deep @Ant7. Practise self care. Try to remember those things that bring you joy.
Engage in an activity that will pull you out if the way you feel. For me it’s physical activity and music. What works for you @Ant7?

Acknowledge the pain @Ant7 and allow it to pass.

@soul I am similar I like exercise and being in nature. I love listening to music and I like having a few beers. I love being with my family but lately they have been a trigger for me and that sucks 😥

Do the things you enjoy and step back from the things that upset you @Ant7. Can you perhaps go for a ride later today?
Family issues can get tricky. There is that perception that family should be close and living but that isn’t always the case.

Often, we find ourselves in circumstances that we can’t do anything about. All we can do is change how we react to it @Ant7

@soul I internalise everything because I cannot deal with conflict
