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.

hey @Former-Member
I don't see why we need space? we were encouraging you to join in with the games we were playing and the chats we were having.

Nashys post was just a gentle reminder you can always contact offline for supports and that misinterpretations happen as well.

Im sorry your feeling pushed away though, Im sure it wasn't intentional...

@outlander @Lee82 @Former-Member I think its best for me and all of you. You have each other and you don't need someone like me.

Maybe I'll still be around on the forums in other threads, or not at all for a while, who knows. Just feel like I'm upsetting everyone, being a burden and so forth

Re: Tough Times

@Lee82 @outlander @Former-Member I'm going off for now, don't know if I'll come back and go on other threads or just not come back here at all for a while.

Like I said you all have each other, you don't need me. I'm not being rude to anyone or blaming or anything, just putting myself down. I really did feel so pushed away last night when I was trying to help. I know that things I suggested don't work for everyone but i was trying.

Bye for now.

I am sorry you feel that way, it is tough @Former-Member
you have to do whats best for yourself and if taking a break is what you feel most comfortable with then that is your decision.
there isn't anything wrong with you. we all just chat, ive not seen anything intentional with you being left out of the convo. Im sorry that has happened and that you feel that way though

Re: Tough Times

I'm sorry I don't know where to jump in here. But my anxiety is bad today. I've even had terrible digestion and feel worried. I can't handle being scrutinised so much by my partner over everything. It's got to me today. I feel I'm not allowed to be friend people.It sounds crazy. But I know something isn't right. 😔

Sweetheart I tried to include you as much as I could here last night. I explained what was happening for @Lee82 and when I meantion my inner child I explained her to you. I am sorry if you felt left out. I have been through a few of Lee's fb's and know how they generally go for her and how bad they get and sometimes she can only focus on what one person is saying but as she calms down it can be easier for her to listen to multiple people as happen a little while after you stepped away. Please I would dearly love you to understand that we value you and your support and in turn everyone here wants to support you the bear we can honey. Unfortunately I don't know what else I can say that will help you see that. I will be every grateful that you where one of my first friends here and made me feel very comfortable along with @outlander and I think it was Snowie as well. Thank you for making it easy in the beginning when I needed someone to help me navigate the fourms. I would love for you to stay with us, but it's your choice @Former-Member @💜💜💜💜💜💜

Re: Tough Times

hey @Former-Member im sorry to hear your anxiety is so bad. being scrutinised by those we love is very hard.
can you do something relaxing or nice to help calm your nerves like a hot shower or a hot cup of tea?

Re: Tough Times

@Former-Member , jump in anywhere. I completely understand as I to am constantly scrutinised my my ex. Anxiety is no fun at all. Has it always been that way with your partner or is it something new if you don't mind me asking. It had always been that way with my ex I just didn't see it because of low self esteem. Please hang around here and chat if you would like.
