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.

You are @Former-Member My GP is the same - can call/text her anytime of the day or night and it has been that way since I became ill. These people are living angels

Both of you are very lucky to have that type of support. They are truly angels. I am so glad you both have that. @Zoe7 @Former-Member

Re: Tough Times

Thank you, I'm glad you've been treated with kindness. It was only 2 members (i won't say their usernames) that I no longer interact with. Everybody else has been kind to me @Lee82

Re: Tough Times

Thank you @Lee82 . I'm okay, the depression will probably settle in soon, sigh. I'm on an eHeadspace group chat and waiting for a clinician on there and KHL, while also on here, so multitasking haha.

How about you?

Re: Tough Times

So great to hear that you have other forms of support at this time of the night. @Former-Member

Anxiety is sitting in hard right now. Finding it hard to breath.

Re: Tough Times

Thanks @Lee82 .

I'm sorry, anything I can do? Would grounding and/or mindfulness help? Colouring in perhaps?

I have a free colour by numbers app on my iPad called Happy Colour that i find relaxing.
