Re: not coping

Yes, that is true hun. Do you have any essential oils that you could use in a diffuser to help you reduce your anxiety a little or help sleep?

Have you got anything else to help distract you, even for a short time?

I use online games, online colouring in and music. Sometimes I watch Ted talks on you tube. Your stuff might be different to mine.

On wet, cold days we watch Ferris Buellers Day off. I don’t know why, it’s just become a family tradition

Re: not coping

I hate to say that. I'm really struggling with the fact that I need to go for a follow up re cancer treatment. It is really :pile_of_poo: on top of everything. I'm trying to ignore it. I hate that' you are all struggling. It really sucks. How does a person cope with everything? @outlander @Eve7 @Sans911 @Emelia8 @Anastasia and everyone sorry. I don't expect an answer. Just venting. I'm so so to be on a downer. 💖 I honestly don't mean to bring you all down, or need a reply

Re: not coping

I like to do diamond painting when I have spare time @Sans911 @Former-Member @Eve7 @Anastasia @outlander

Something I started doing about a year ago now.

Its a really good distraction I find, because you need to concentrate. Only problem being that if you are really anxious and shaky as a result, you cant do it very well. You need to place those little diamond drills very precisely.

Re: not coping

Oh dear, I am so sorry @Former-Member . All my recent talk has not been helpful for you then, has it?

Is this checkup something youve been putting off for a while? I know youve had heaps happening lately. Not the least being with your Ds illness and your Hs accident. Please dont put off checkups Pippi. I have actually just booked 3 monthly scans for my husband in 4 weeks time. He has oncologist checks early next month. Never an easy time.

Re: not coping

You are so hard on yourself @Former-Member. Try to be a little kinder to you. And you're certainly not bringing me down hun. Today has finally been a good day after many difficult weeks. Nothing and no one can take away my good day today.

Yeah our struggles do suck. My gp made me laugh last week as she actually said those words out loud. I was a bit shocked but I told her I really appreciated her saying it.

How do we cope? Well, I guess here in the forums we all have our struggles of some sort or another. But we're all in it together right?

And we get through these struggles one moment at a time, one step at a time, and one day at a time.

Re: not coping

OK, let's lighten things up in here for a bit. Let's play a distraction game.

Right, so I'm going to pick a letter of the alphabet and everyone has to come up with a movie OK?

Anyone can randomly change the letter at any time.

Alright the first letter is D

@Emelia8 @outlander @Former-Member @Eve7 @Former-Member @Lee82 (if you're both awake and want to join us)... And of course anyone else
