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

Honey, I had the right person, my perfect match amd if I needed any more proof of that it is the fact he is here right now looking after me. He has taken leave from his job to be here 24/7 for me, he could of said no to Nat when she called him to ask him if he would, but he dropped everything for me. While we share a bed, he has not once touched me and now with the state of my chest I doubt he will even look at me again the way he use to. @Lee82 I have ruin any change of a romantic future with him. @Lee82

Re: Tough Times

They are some beautiful images @Appleblossom. So good you have found something that helps with your healing. I am yet to find something that works for me.

Re: Tough Times

@Appleblossom, they are wonderful. My favourite would be "captive audience"

Re: Tough Times

Just keep an eye open or half your attention oriented to self healing and what works for you will become more clear.

If I am too focussed, I tended to flip back into self sabotage, the gradual approach works over time.

Re: Tough Times

I am so sorry babe. I don't really know what to say except maybe It just wasn't the right time. You can't predict the future. You just never know. At least he is stil in your life and he definitely loves you and cares about you babe.

Re: Tough Times

Sitting here alone scrolling through fb, and boom trigger hit. One that I didn't realise I still had. I don't know how much I can share but it hurts and the memory is so painful. I think I might have spoken to Lee about it at one point but it never really hits me like this. This June I would have been celebrating the birthday of a 26 yr old if the kids father hadn't convinced me that if I fell pregnant he would take our first born and I would never see her or him again, I was 19 and I believe he could. Sitting in that room with others who where laughing like it was not a big deal, while I cried for the little one I would never meet. I always thought I would have four children and I do in the fact I have a stepdaughter but there is apart of me that will always be missing.
