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.

Re: Tough Times

That is so beautiful honey. Thank you for everything you are amazing to me and you are definitely the best thing that has happened to me too gorgeous. I have never had this type of support or kindness ever. You haven't quit on me like everyone else in my life. That is a new feeling for me.

Re: Tough Times

I can't sleep now babe...I am way too anxious. Still in and out of FB it's like quick flashes. Don't think I will be sleeping much tonight.
I think you should get some rest babe so your not too tired in the morning and you can continue this feeling again tomorrow.

Re: Tough Times

Why does this keep happening? I have no triggers around me. Why has it gone on for so long? I feel like I'm going crazy babe.

Re: Tough Times

You do have triggers around you babe. Tomorrow is your trigger and it's a huge trigger. You haven't processed this trauma and you won't be able to move forward till you do. You are not going crazy babe. I haven't processed the trauma from him and it's causing so much harm it's not funny. We both get there, it's just going to take time. @Lee82

Re: Tough Times

Babe I've taken up enough of your time. I really want you to try and get some sleep. I'm really worried your going to be too tired to get through tomorrow.
I care too deeply about you to let this affect you.
will you try for me?
