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.

Honey don't be sorry, I knew today like everytime you have to see him is hard for you and that is ok.

You are doing the best you can with what you have and it will get easier , I promise when you can get back on track with your health it will get easier.

Love you 3000 @Lee82

While scrolling through the forum, I have seen some beautiful friendships and I seen people just sitting there with friends so they have someone with them when they are having a rough day. I have been lucky here in finding friendships and support that has truely helped saved me from doing something stupid a few times. I do hope you all don't think I am exaggerating but being here with you all has been a blessing I didn't see coming.

Thanks so much @Former-Member. I've barely been able to listen to music but slowly getting back into it. So beautiful and thanks again.😊

Re: Tough Times

@Purplerain , I would be lost without my music. I am glad you are able to start listening just a little. If I am not paying attention to my body, the choice of playlist is a huge kick in the pants to notice what I am feeling. I hope you are having an ok day hun. 💜

@Former-Member,

Yeah, I love music too. I just find it upsets me a lot to listen to at the moment as it reminds me of my ex.😥

Slowly but surely get back into it. My day has been better than yesterday, hope your day was ok too.😊

Re: Tough Times

@Purplerain , I understand the emotional pull music can have, especially when it's in regards to a break up. My first marriage was toxic and I put up with it for 13 years ( I thought I was doing my kids a favour by staying) I now don't listen to country music that often and some Meatloaf songs are a huge trigger for me because they would be playing in the background when things would get bad with him.

I am very happy to hear your day has been better, fortunately enough I have had my best day in weeks/months. Not free from issues just better. Any plans for the long weekend?
