Something’s not right

Tough Times

Tough Times

I thought I'd open up this discussion for anyone going through a rough time at the moment and want to get some extra support.
I am struggling a lot at the moment dealing with a range of things. One thing a struggle with is Anxiety. This is something I deal with everyday. I wake up with it every morning and fall asleep (when I sleep) with it every night. Some days are worse than other days. Distractions play a big part in coping with it daily. At the moment being stuck at home schooling my kids is my biggest distraction. It helps most of the time however sometimes it can be a real struggle to stay present and calm. We as a family try to go for a walk everyday. We take our family dog with us. Another distraction for me is cooking but this can be a challenge as I struggle with motivating myself but when I get into it I create some nice things. Today my 8year old son and I made oat based banana and chic chip muffins. 😋😋

I hope everyone's day has been a good day filled with self care and motivation.

He spoke with Nat and he has locked all my cards, taken the fuel card for my car and given me my longest lecture yet of how I am doing it all wrong and the bad example I am setting for our children and granddaughter.

Such a beautifully well thought-out, written and supportive post @Sans911 . Just making sure you are okay also given a mention of your SI still being present/rearing its head. Remember you can reach out to us as the forums team via email or to contact a crisis service/emergency services for some instaneous support if needed or if you'd like to chat to someone. Take care and thanks again for sharing your lovely words.

Kind regards,

Re: Tough Times

Ok he has gone about this the wrong way babe. I can feel your anger and pain. Was this Nats idea or his?
I don't understand why the cards?
He clearly doesn't understand what your going through for him to think this is something you want to be doing or can control right now.
what was he thinking? All I can think babe is that he is trying the tough love approach. I know and you know that don't work but maybe he thinks it will. I am so sorry you have to put up with that babe. Especially now.

Re: Tough Times

Thank you @Otter . I am alright tonight. I am just trying to support others, and sometimes it's helpful to know that the awful darkness and feeling alone in that space is that is something that others experience too.
