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

@Zoe7 , you have far too much energy for me today. Just reading what you are doing makes me want to nap. 😂 I am glad it's coming together for you though.

@Lee82 , sorry you are still feeling unwell 😞 I am feeling kind of useless can't think straight enough to really be of any help to outlander at the moment but am trying. Exh2 dragged d3's mattress out to the lounge room and brought my weighted blanket so I am about to put Mavel movies on. I still want to talk about last night but it can wait until our other friend has support from other members or is feeling a little better. Love you soooo much

Re: Tough Times

Stained and varnished @Lee82 but will only get the staining done today. That needs to be completely dried before I can varnish it but I can bring it inside to do the staining then back outside hopefully tomorrow to spray varnish. I am not sure on the weather forecast tomorrow but can put it back in the garage to spray if need be.

Re: Tough Times

That is totally ok babe. I didn't realise outlander was struggling today. I havent really been wondering around much today. I hope she will be ok I'm not sure how much help I would be but I may pop in and see how she is doing. I understand if your focusing on outlander right now just want to make sure you are ok.
