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

No need to apologise hun really.
it's all good.
@Former-Member

another thing too is sometimes notifications don't always work and so it is really difficult to know if someone has posted something unless they go searching. It's frustrating but nothing can be done about it. So sorry if you tried reaching out babe and I didn't answer. I really didn't see any notifications from you therefore didn't know. I will always do my best to be there for you whenever you need help and support. 💕

Re: Tough Times

@Lee82 it's ok, none of you did anything wrong, it was all my fault and my misunderstanding. I guess misunderstandings etc happen a lot online including on forums.

I'll give you all some space now, won't worry about tagging anyone else since I did earlier. I'll be around on other threads

Re: Tough Times

That is so good honey that you are doing good.
thank you so much for the wish upon a Star. You are too beautiful!
I am struggling quite a lot today honey. SH has been around all day. Feel like I am going crazy. Dark hole is getting darker by the minute.
flashbacks all day long. I am so exhausted. I am listening to music now hoping that will help calm my anxiety and stop the SI at bay. Nothing else seems possible
