rough time

Hi @outlander , I am around.

What is up sis?

Hi @outlander

Sorry to hear you are stressing out about the mouth surgery, which is still many months away.

Is it the actual surgery which is worrying you so much, or is it all the preparation and planning around it? Eg accommodation issues, travel issues, Pop issues, other family issues etc to do with your caring responsibilites.

I think it is normal to feel anxious and nervous about it @outlander . Even though it is still awhile away you have known about it for awhile now, so it is probably playing on your mind.

Sometimes our brain works in wierd ways and brings up things that we don't necessarily want to think about.

Is it the worries about you surgery that you are thinking about?

i think its is the waiting game that is playing apart to. its so far away which is both good and bad.

its abit of everything between the surgury itself, and the organising and finances to cover it as well. there feels like theres alot to and quite quite expensive as well so its all playing quite abit part.

im not sure why its come up today though, i havent come across any triggers i dont think

@Snowie @Former-Member

The waiting game would be playing on your mind hun. With the surgery still awhile away, your brain is going over everything associated with it.

I know you have already booked somewhere to stay

Sometimes things come up and there doesn't have to be a trigger for it @outlander . It just comes up when we don't really want it too.

Are there other things you can do today to try and distract yourself

ive tried to tell myself that i dont have to worry about it, its still a while away and plenty of time to get things organised but my brain says otherwise. i actually need to have everything organised by early november and mums thing is a big one and once all of the things associated with that i literally have a week before the surgury so i wont have time after early october. it would be easier if i could say what it is, it would explain alot.


ive been trying to distract myself alot today but it hasnt really helped @Snowie

Our brains really don't help us out at times @outlander

It sounds like it will be a busy time with your mums thing too.

Do you think writing down your worries and putting them in your worry box would help?

Happy to keep talking here to help you distract yourself.
