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

I am ok just feeling my anxiety rising as it gets later in the night.
how about you @Former-Member ?

In response to: Re: Tough Times

Re: Tough Times

I understand, I get the same way with my anxiety, depression and paranoia. I'm sorry you feel that way too, I hope it improves. I'm here to talk, or just to listen, if you need.

I'm okay, was a bit anxious to return and a bit triggered because I spent a few months away due to bullying, but lets hope that doesn't happen again to me or anyone.

Other than that, I'm okay. Might speak to a helpline later, my moods always fluctuate especially at night. Going to take a quick shower. @Lee82

Re: Tough Times

I am so very very sorry you were bullied on this forum. I can say that I have been here since March and have received nothing but kindness and support even when I may have said some things that could have possibly been a little insensitive. The people on here at present are amazing and caring so I hope you have a better experience this time round. Also well done for making the step to come back on. That shows a lot of courage.
great to hear you have safety measures in place of you need to use them. @Former-Member
