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 am starting to stress out big time. Just called mum and she sounds bloody horrible. I want to go see her for myself but she is about 45 minutes away and I don't know if I am safe enough to do that return trip. 😞 He is working so can't take me.

@Lee82 @Former-Member @NatureLover @outlander @Bunniekins @Sans911 @Zoe7 , I hope your day is being kind and gentle with you

Re: Tough Times

Have you spoken to your sister babe? Maybe she can go see her and let you know how she is. What about one of your daughters can they take you?

Lee, she is not answering her phone and with everything going on for me I have completely forgotten what shifts she is working. None of my kids drive. 🤨

Re: Tough Times

Is your mum still in hospital? If so can you maybe call and either speak to a nurse or doctor and find out what's going on?

Re: Tough Times

Babe I hope your not thinking of driving? You are in no state to do that.
Just take a breath babe and take comfort in knowing your mum is in the right place right now being in hospital.

@Bunniekins , honey I am going to be away from here for a little. I am hoping very much that you are still sleeping, if not could you please let me know that you are safe. Just a support of this post will be enough sweetie.

I am going to see mum, I will be away for a while. Will check in when I can.

@Lee82 @NatureLover @outlander and everyone that matters. 💜💜💜💜💜
