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.

My mouth just feels so dirty!!! It has been misused.

Oh yes today I had a session with psych and we visited the dilemma of wanting affection and being so betrayed!

Thankyou for sharing @Former-Member.

I thought I might of missed the body freak out today. Was doing good but not so much now

Re: Tough Times

@mudsum , I am sorry hun, it's not fair that we still live the trauma. Body freak outs happen here a lot and not just with inner child. That is a topic that gets discussed a lot with my MH team. 😞

Oh sweets I didn't mean to make you cry. Just wanted to remind you that you are beautiful to me, that I am thinking of you and I love you so much.
I hope your blanket is keeping you safe and comforted. ❤️

Hi @mudsum @Ian hearing you and I feel you. I was also abused young (aged 7) I do still feel like i did something to deserve it. It's a though emotion and thought to deal with. Balnkets, soft toys and ice cream sounds like a great idea. I hope it helps to calm your thoughts, comfort your soul and makes you feel safe. Lee
