Yes it can be pretty face paced @Sans911 and I sometimes feel as if I missed out on what was said? If that makes sense
You sound rather busy @Sans911 I hope you manage with all those tasks

Re: rough time
Sure @MDT
Sounds like youve been a busy bee @Sans911 Hmm that doesnt sounds very good. No one should be bullied. Your much better than her anyway. I dont even have to meet you to know that. A busy day might help you manage some of those emotions tomorrow too do you think? Ive got the kids-yay. ....- but should be around if you need someone.
No the ones ive got come pretty tightly sealed and the chemist had no samples. Ill attach the link to the one i brought. Its suppose to be for sleep but all i can smell is citrus and its not very relaxing.
Thats a good start @Bella1978 Im glad your mum was ok today too. Maybe your right ( im hoping your right) and she starts to come good again now that infections are clearing and meds are getting sorted too. Have a chat to thr psych teams though and seek their opinions too.
Im ok i guess. Stayed inside most of the day cause of thw wind and cold. Im hoping it rains tomorrow like ita suppose to. Ive got the kids and need to be over there at 8am but will prob stay there for a while.need to get a few things from the shop too for Sunday.

Re: rough time
@MDT - I'm forever trying to read back what was said to see if there was something I missed, then I miss the forward moving parts!
Yes, I'm pretty busy, but busy is good sometimes. It gives me purpose.
@outlander - that's what my plan is. Keep busy until so I push away any thoughts. Distract, distract, distract lol.
Hmm, that oil you bought is a good brand. But citrus oils are uplifting, not especially calming. Have you used much? Could you take it back at all? The other oils in it are ok for sleep. I make most of my own blends so I know what works for me, and that way I don't include oils that don't work. Do you feel you are more alert and awake tonight because of smelling the oil blend?

Re: rough time
Distraction it is! @Sans911 No i cant take it back they wont accept refunds unless its still sealed. I wanted the chamomile but they didn't have any instock and i only have abit of lavender left. This one was on sale too and thought it might help. Its really strong. Thet say put 6 drops in but i only put 4 in 100odd mls in the diffuser. i can really only smell the orange in it with abit of something else but cant pick up what it is. i was hoping to calm the emotions but it hasnt helped at all still feel like a volcano waiting to erupt Would any of the blends from that site be ok to get? . The chemist had a few of those sorts but limited in the individual sorts.

Re: rough time

Re: rough time
@outlander sorry, was on the phone. Add a bit more lavender, say 2drops.I wouldn't buy the blends. Can you not buy the oils online? Can you do some square breathing to help calm you.
@MDT, men can use essential oils too. They're really great for so many things. I've a lot of experience in them, so I help outlander with some advice.

Re: rough time
Yeh i can buy them online @Sans911 ill see about ordering it tomorrow or a few of them so they all come together. Its been happening all day actually the past few days. Doesnt want to leave. I can only seem to manage the anxiety when it pops up. Im not anxious. It weird. Goes with the headache that wont leave i guess.
Ill try adding abit of lavender in too or maybe just use this blend for during the day time..... What oil would you use for muscles? Ive bee told to give my arm and hand a gentle massage but its too painful ao maybe an oil might help as im only using moisturising cream atm.
