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

I think so just feel shaky and light headed and sweaty

@outlander @Former-Member

In response to: Re: Tough Times

Re: Tough Times

that's pretty common @Lee82

I would suggest some easy self care to help calm the rest of the nerves. I was going to suggest a shower but if your lightheaded perhaps wait abit for that.
so maybe something like putting some fave music on or tv show and just breathing for a few minutes first.
You can keep chatting here too of course, whatevers best for you
