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

Update: after consulting with my gp and Nat it has been decided to increase my night meds since there will be no one here with me other than my daughters. I have to take them shortly and know that when they kick in I will be out cold till morning. It is the safest thing for now.

@Lee82 @Zoe7 @Jynx @anewhope @outlander

@Lee82 , I hope you are ok my love. Just to clear something up. In darkness when I said I dumped it on the other thread, I meant this one, it was just about how bad my day was. I hoped that you wouldn't see the other one as I knew how it would effect you. I am doing everything I can to stay safe and present. 💜

Re: Tough Times

That seems like a really good decision @Former-Member to keep you safe. I really hope it helps Hon and you can get some rest from everything for a night at least. Hugs and hugs

Not so good right now @Former-Member it's the night and my demons like to haunt me at night.
how are you going?

Re: Tough Times

I'm kind of feeling the same way, I'm sorry you feel that way too.

I got a message from someone I know in person. I know they mean well, checking how I am. I ignored their last message so I thought they'd get the hint, I never opened it. This was a few weeks back. I told them I wanted space and don't want to talk, "oh ok" was their reply, pfft.

I wish people would understand mental illnesses, people's struggles and need for space. It's not that hard. So that annoyed me a little, although she was trying to be kind.

She got a boyfriend she's never even met and is infatuated with him now anyway, that's all she has time for, so that in itself has annoyed me too, and has made me lose interest.

Sorry for venting there. @Lee82

Re: Tough Times

@Former-Member , everyone needs to vent occasionally and we are here to listen lovely. Some people just don't get it, like you said. I hope you and @Lee82 are as safe as you both can be tonight. 💜🦋

Re: Tough Times

Thanks, I appreciate that @Former-Member

Re: Tough Times

Venting is a good thing @Former-Member holding things inside is toxic so vent away.
I understand your frustration. People just don't know how to deal with MH issues. It's kind of like they are scared to say anything. I'm so sorry your friend has acted that way. She probably just doesn't know what to say and feels a little unsure what the right thing to do is.
you have lots of friends here that have got your back 😉🌸💗
