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

Hey @Lee82 Just caught up on what has been happening for you tonight Hon and am concerned also. It would be great if you could check in - just a support is enough if that is all you can manage.

Hey @Former-Member and @Sans911

Re: Tough Times

@Zoe7 , you really have been paying attention haven't you 🙂 I am worried today there has been some big triggers and she is not normal "out" this long.
I feel completely useless right now. Trying hard not to loss it. Thank god for @Sans911 though, I can never remember that technique and it almost worked.

Re: Tough Times

I hear you Hon and I am worried for her too @Former-Member It is also important that you look after yourself right now. I will tell you the same as I told @Lee82 a while back when you couldn't respond - it is okay to be concerned and it is okay to feel anxious and worried when one of our friends is not doing so well and disappears suddenly but you have to look after yourself first as when she returns she will need our support. I am more than happy to sit here with you while we wait Hon.
