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.

Hey @Former-Member,

It sounds like you are safe today but in a lot of pain. I'm going to send you an email to check in with you 🌻

Re: Tough Times

Sorry @outlander , I didn't mean to upset you or anyone or anything like that.

I'll take a break from this thread. Good luck with your appointment.

Re: Tough Times

Hey there everyone 🌷

I'm sensing a lot of distress today and a lot of concern for others. However, I'm sensing that expectations of quick responses, and not receiving a response within those expectations is also very distressing.

It's important to remember the forums do not have the response time of a chatroom, and that members will step away from the forums. This can be hard when you know someone is vulnerable, or when you are seeking immediate support, but it is the nature of the community.

It's important for members to think about how they will support themselves waiting for responses or news from a member they care about. If you are concerned a moderator has not noticed someone is at risk please alert them, and then trust that they are following up behind the scenes.

Take care everyone 💜

I'm very sorry @Former-Member , I didn't mean to do anything wrong such as upset anyone or anything else bad.

It won't happen again, my apologies. Like I said I'll still be around on the forums, just on other threads to give everyone here a break.

PS - no need to send me an email, I'm having trouble with my emails, my Mum is too with her account (same email place), which means I can't look at them and reply, not sure why thats happening, just letting you know

Re: Tough Times

Yes I am safe, I am being supported by my ex who is very watchful. Yes I am in a lot pain both physically and mentally. I did jump back here to reassure my family that I was safe but saw the reply from another member and went into meltdown again. So I decided to not comment, I didn't feel safe to do so at the moment. The wellness center they where hoping could take me today can not so I don't know what's happening with the next one. I do know that I am at crisis piont, I am unstable mentally and getting triggered every moment. My ex is now limiting my access to my phone because of the meltdown, so I won't be active here a lot. I will probably be aloud to check in with my family here mornings and evenings but the time I can be here has also been limited. I am sorry for any part I have played in anyone's distress it was never intentional. Sending out all the love I have to you all. 💖

Re: Tough Times

sending heaps of love @Former-Member im glad you can check in when you can and are safe. im so glad you've got supports there with you. fingers crossed the other wellness centre will be available. if not perhaps going to emergency might be a good option at this point

In response to: Re: Tough Times

Re: Tough Times

Oh @Former-Member I really feel for you. Thanks for the update. Will be keeping all fingers crossed that you can get into another wellness centre if that's what's needed. I think you are so brave. Wishing for peace, healing and hope for you - all of which take time, I know. At the moment I hope for whatever it takes to get through each minute at a time for you. ❤

Re: Tough Times

Thank you for checking in babe. I am so sorry if it was me that caused you your meltdown. I am so sorry. I think I will step away from the forum for a while because I don't feel I am helping you or anyone in my state. I will pop in to make sure you are ok and others as well and keep myself updated but I will not post anything.
I am so sorry if I have upset you in anyway. I just wanted to support you and help you and be there for you as best I could.
love you always babe 💜
