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.

Thanks for being you

Another day here, bit of paving, bit of music, bit of computer, green beans and chicken breast in butter tonight. Cant complain.

Not a dynamo day. How do we know when we have done enough? Somedays I have been SuperMaria ... It was a slow day, but that is supposed to be my current level according to my physio. Mostly my mood is alright.

How was your day?

Beautiful @Former-Member

I have liked seeing all the different personal responses to Anzac Day, given people could not attend marches and ceremonies. Lot of creative flowering ...

Re: Tough Times

I am so sorry @Appleblossom i just saw this post. I think we decide when we have done enough. If it's just going for a walk or some house work or just getting up and having a shower is all that was accomplished than that is good enough.
My day wasn't filled with much either. Helped my 8 year old with some school work this morning and that is about it. How are you doing my friend?
