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

im not mad at you @Former-Member
sometimes I find it hard to support several distressed members all on the same thread. if you need support and you can see that a particular thread is 'busy' meaning a member in distress is being supported I would kindly suggest to tag some of your supports to another thread. that way we can focus on your needs in one spot and the other members' needs in the other. it can get overwhelming for someone in distress when so many people are trying to support them even though its with very good intentions and also overwhelming for the supporters' trying to do to many people at once. this is just a suggestion but ive noticed you get quite distressed if no one responds to you straight away or if your having trouble keeping up- we all get this way sometimes that's why ive suggested the things above. I hope you don't take this to heart and can see where I and others may be coming from, im/we're just trying to help you get the most out of the forums and help you get the support that you deserve as well without you and others overwhelmed.
