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.

Babe I am not going to talk about it right now. You need to focus on your gorgeous boys today and yourself.

But I am a great, delirious, sleep deprived and caffeinated (I don't drink coffee and I am up to number 6) I am so high right now it is blissful. @Lee82

It is beautiful here. The sun is warm and there is a gentle breeze could be just a tiny bit cooler. The sky is clear blue. I am sure you would both love it too. But have to get ready to, I am not sure what I am getting ready for but it's seems important so off now for a shower. Sorry for the stress I left my phone somewhere. Hope u both are ok

Re: Tough Times

Hey @Former-Member , I know we've discussed before how it can be really tricky in online communities sometimes because communication can be misconstrued. It could be really good to work on over-apologising (you often don't need to ) and what I perceive as sensitivity to others posts.

In life we rely on body language primarily, then tone of voice secondary. We really have neither of those to fall back on in an online setting, so it's super important to take breaks and breathers if needed, especially in online forums. Members sometimes take time to respond, members sometimes don't have the means to respond thoroughly (i.e. on their phone, tablet or slow internet) and sometimes there's no reason at all. This is a good reminder to all forum members to work on self-care, stepping away and reassessing the situation as we need to. @Former-Member I hope you take care over the weekend, I can tell your peers here care a lot about you. Cheers all!
