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

@Appleblossom , I hope your spotlight has them. I would be lost without mine. I am just thankful he doesn't want to try Heston's other meals. He has tried his mashed potatoes but me and girls didn't like it, there is something very wrong with putting the potatoe skins in it :nauseated_face:

@Lee82 , I thought you where going back on your meds honey??? We talked about that ages ago. 😐

@Appleblossom is so correct you guys are amazing can't thank you all enough for the support you give so freely @Zoe7 @outlander @Sans911

Re: Tough Times

Thanks @Appleblossom everyone was so great last night. It was just way too strong for me to handle.
I haven't had anything for dinner tonight so mum is really angry with me right now. I am getting the cold shoulder.

Re: Tough Times

I haven't started back on my meds yet because I know they are going to make me sick and thought maybe it was something I should be telling my MH team. Still not sure what to do.

Re: Tough Times

Just me and the cat. A cup of green tea and trying some new coconut ice cream.

Some feelings come on strong.

@Lee82
