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.

Re: Tough Times

Don't worry I guess, I'll be around on other threads like I mentioned. I'll leave you all alone for a while.

I hope you're all safe and feel better, as much as possible anyway. @outlander @Lee82 @Former-Member @Sans911 and anyone else I missed (sorry)

What sort of plants do you have?

Re: Tough Times

Just hang around a little while @Former-Member. Sometimes people are busy helping and supporting others, which you can also do as well if you want. Sometimes people can't respond to your posts straight away when they are doing that. I know this morning I've taken about an hour to get back to @outlander because I've been busy. Just give people time to get back to you. Sometimes what I do if I'm waiting for someone to respond to me I'll go see if there's new threads to respond to. Or I'll go play a game. People will include you, but it won't always be when you want. It doesn't mean they think less of you. You are wanted here as much as anyone else and you have a lot to contribute. 💕💕💕💕

Mainly succulents and terrariums.

Re: Tough Times

What are terrariums? @Lee82

In response to: Re: Tough Times

Re: Tough Times

They are like a mini garden planted inside a glass bowl or really any vessel you would want to use. You make them with succulents or cactus even moss etc
