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

It's all good honey, I am here now. Tagged teamed with @Zoe7 ❤️ do you think I could ask you one question about last night? I don't want to trigger you so think about it carefully babe. @Lee82

@NatureLover , I try hard to keep my stuff off other threads when they are having a day as rough as our friend is having. I am not sleeping unfortunately my brain just won't shut down. I am so glad you are doing ok for now. I can't think straight but it won't turn off.
