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.

All good @Lee82 , I'm sorry I wasn't around either, I feel bad. Wow that sounds scary, are you ok? I'm so sorry that happened. Please take care of yourself.

Hey to @Zoe7 @Sans911 since I haven't talked to you two for a while

Re: Tough Times

@Former-Member I'm ok. Sorry I took so long to reply, I had dinner then took my dog for a walk (same way I went after lunch) before it got too dark, it was getting dark but it was ok, I'm safe. It's pretty safe around here. Saw a good looking guy run past but he didn't say hello (most people here never say hello to me, but with my social anxiety I don't say hi much, sometimes I do or they may not hear me, I usually just smile or hide my head. But some old people say hello, not young ones (I barely see young people here)). Then I spoke to my Dad for a bit again on the phone, then had a coffee and just had a shower again (I sweat a lot and I'm on my period (sorry TMI everyone)).

Are you ok too?

Is everyone ok?

Re: Tough Times

Thanks @Former-Member @I am ok. I have been reading your posts today I'm so sorry I have commented. Sounds like you had a great session with your psychiatrist. I also feel you don't need to worry about they way he was acting he may have just had a lot on his mind too and may have had a very busy day ahead of him. DO NOT take it personally.
hooe you have a peaceful night tonight.

Hmm cute guy 🤨 none of them around here😭 glad you are safe and got out of the house for a bit. I don't say hello to many, but I always say hi to the older people. I hope your dad is doing ok all things considered. I am having a better day today and the night is usually calm. Thank you for asking @Former-Member

Re: Tough Times

@Lee82 that's ok, take your time. I'm sorry for worrying you also and not replying for a few days or however long it was too.

Yes that's true, I'm trying not to take it to heart and telling myself things like he could've been unwell, busy, anything, like what you said. I just hope he's ok, thats just me, I have a caring nature, well I try to.

@Former-Member that's a shame about no cute guys, I see some from time to time lol. This good looking guy with an American accent walked past me with a nice Dog one day and said "hey there" and I was happy then lol, I said "hey" with a smile. This was probably a few weeks ago now if I remember correctly. Yes my Dad's ok, he's with one of his Sisters & Brothers at a motel/apartment thing now, thanks for asking. Won't say too much about it, but I hope it goes ok tomorrow for you know. I was going to go but I didn't know that sister, but I wanted to pay respect. But there's also a limit on people going to places like that now, sigh. It's sad but better than nothing and no one. Plus there's more important people that need to be there besides me.

Re: Tough Times

In response to: Re: Tough Times

Re: Tough Times

No please don't do that babe. I can see you all having so much fun. I don't want to interrupt. I will play along when I can.
