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

Hey @Lee82 Today is a bit sucky Hon. I checked on my small table in the garage after spraying it yesterday afternoon for the final coat and it has blistered is some spots. It must have been too cold and maybe the condensation got to it. I now have to sand it ALL back and start again. This simple job has now been going on for 3 (or 4) weeks. Luckily it is clear today, with a little breeze, so I can do it outside and hopefully get 2 coats of stain on this morning then spray again this afternoon. Not at all what I needed today but it is what it is and I will just have to deal with it.

How are you feeling today Hon?

Re: Tough Times

@Zoe7 , thanks lovely. Sorry to hear about your little table 🤨hopefully it will go smoothly today for you. Sending you huge hugs.

@Lee82 , hey maybe later babe. I have a chiropractic appointment soon. Being sleep deprived has made it had to focus this morning but I will get there. How's your morning going?

Re: Tough Times

Thanks @Former-Member Frustrating but nothing I can do - just need to do it again

Off to sand now then will wash it to make sure it is completely clean of sawdust, put the first coat of stain on and have a rest before the second coat. Will therefore be in and out throughout the day but will check on you and @Lee82 when I can.

You certainly sound like you will need more sleep today - I am going to need the same when I can. Hope the chiropractiv appointment helps.

Re: Tough Times

I am so sorry to hear that @Zoe7 . That would definitely be very frustrating. I hope second time round works out for you babe. All your hard work and persistence will pay off babe. Can't wait for the day when you can sit back and look at all you have accomplished with pride in heart and a smile on your and say I did all this!!

feeling very out of it today hun. Massive migraine and sick feeling in my stomach. Last nights incident is definitely taking its toll. I have just pushed back my return back to my own place by a lot. i just got off the phone with my brother and let's just say he is not happy at all. It's so difficult talking to people around me when they really don't understand what it's like. It's like talking to a brick wall and it's frustrating. No one knows about my exh which makes it ten times harder. Today I will not be moving from the couch. I have been drifting in and out of sleep as the effects of what I took last night are still around.
I hope you can find some time today to relax and do something nice for yourself babe. 💜

Re: Tough Times

Yes been there myself @Lee82 and sleeping it off is just about all we can do I am personally very relieved you are here though. It is so hard feeling that level of pain and anxiety and not knowing what else to do. I know the only solution often seems to end that pain and that is why we hold each other up as much as we can and support each other when that pain gets too much. Will always hold that space here for you - when you need to sit, talk or distract.
