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.

So I just read the first couple pages of this thread, and Thankyou!

Thanks for your realness about homeschooling and baking and walks and finding anxiety hard in the evenings and knowing the have I done enough struggle.

I myself have many of these shoes on at times.

Great spread @Former-Member

@mudsum

@Lee82There is no need to apologise. Lovely to hear from you. Sorry things are difficult. I wished we could be more of a village, but the world has gone the opposite direction with all this social distancing.

Getting connections and distances right is an artform. I would have been happy doing an hour here or there with children.

I had my temperature taken at doctors and there were airport queus at Bunnings. Then I saw on old neighbour who delivers for Auspost, seems both those organisations are doing very well out of Covid.

Take Care ALL

My love please don't apologise or feel need to for that matter. I am so sorry you hard having a hard day and wish I could give you a hug @Lee82 I will be around for a bit tonight if you are up for a chat.

D1 and gd just left and it was a connection that I needed. GD absolutely loved her afternoon tea and by the way I got her age wrong she is 12 and most unimpressed with me that I got it wrong. 😂

@Appleblossom , the queue to get into our local Bunnings was the same today

love and hugs to you all
