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.

Anything you want to talk about? You don't have to, just not sure what to say @Former-Member

Hey @Former-Member thank you for keeping us updated, it is good you have a support person with you to ensure you're safety. You are very insightful and strong, no one should have to endure what you've just experienced . Please reach out to 1800 Respect or the SANE Help Centre if you need to chat once back home.

Hey @Former-Member , just need to keep the monster at bay. Just random chatting or if you have something you need to talk about that would be awesome

Re: Tough Times

@Former-Member I did get your email but I can't reply, something's glitching with the email site, so apologies about that. I'll try again later or tomorrow.

Just wanted to say though (which I tried to say in the email) I'm sorry for snapping a bit and misunderstanding stuff.

Just something that happened today, off the forums, that upset and annoyed me but i shouldn't have taken it out on others so I'm sorry.

Like you said it's easy to misunderstand/misinterpret what people say online including forums etc so thats all it was, I always misunderstand stuff from mods and other members.

My apologies. Thats all I was trying to say on the email but it's not working.

Outside trying to get away from the monster. It's all good they can't expect miracles everyday with home schooling. @Lee82

Here it's actually a pretty nice day. Sunny 15 degrees. Boys are out scootering around.

Re: Tough Times

Now that sounds like my kind of temperature. It's a little cloudy and 22 degrees here. Are both your boys outdoorsy types?
