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 so sorry to hear that babe. That's really frustrating. Hopefully speaking to the bank will help. Don't give up babe there will be financial help out there it's just knowing where you can get it that is tricky.
have you tried maybe applying for a credit card as well with someone like citibank or GE?

Re: Tough Times

I wont get a credit card and those repayments are so high when you use it. its not really something I can afford 😞 @Lee82

I have to go, pops workers here in a min and theres no space or privacy atm esp with pop yelling at me for getting one. the only space will be if I answer my phone in the bedroom.

Re: Tough Times

@outlander because of above, how you said you're going to the ED or something (sorry to hear that, hope you're safe and feel better) & how @Former-Member said they won't be online much & that they're in a bad place (I hope they're safe & ok too)
