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

no, no luck yet @Lee82 I thought I may have found a place but they encourage people to see their own gps unless its a specific female health concern (womens health clinic) so that's abit frustrating. im having a look though.

im sorry the days not to good for you, anything I can help with?
sounds like resting is a good idea today.

Just keep trying honey that's all we can ask for. You may not find the right one straight away but you have to feel completely comfortable and satisfied with your choice. It may take a while and patience.
I don't know what to do anymore @outlander sorry I don't think there is anything anyone can do but having you and everyone else on this forums support helps make me not feel alone and keeps me present and less helpless. ❤️

Re: Tough Times

basically every day @Lee82 they are my siblings but it can almost be an all day thing if parents are working.
today is only for around 5 hours and its not a late night, usually its for either most of the day or its for most of the night if its a night shift.

Hey @Lee82 Been sleeping much of today but still very tired. Tobes has been keeping me company and he is back asleep now. It is a cold, wet and windy day here so a perfect day to be snuggled on the couch.

Re: Tough Times

Hey @Zoe7 yea definitely a couch day. It's miserable here too. I am not looking forward to winter that's for sure. I have been sleeping on and off today too.
