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

Just emailed the local hospital (the one where the MH Nurse is). The guy at Wellways who calls me (spoke to my Mum and said he had meetings so not to call him back) told me about this group they run, so I emailed them about it, and said I saw someone there aswell as the MH Nurse & they weren't helpful.

Let's hope someone can help me but I doubt it, they probably won't even get back to me.

Wish it was Wednesday already so I can speak to my Psychiatrist. I wish I could have 1 hour appointments with him too but I can't because that was only the 1st session, the rest go for 20-30 mins. @Lee82 @Former-Member

@Former-Member , I don't know which thread you visit the most please tag me in it if that is ok. Sending you gentle hugs and all my love. 💜

@Former-Member , the trouble you are having right now I have no words for my friend. I hope you are still having a nap right now.

Re: Tough Times

Thanks @Former-Member , I appreciate it. I've been looking websites up to use to complain about the MH Nurse, I guess I could try the hospital itself first, they have it in paper, on an iPad thing (haven't seen those in there lately though and it's at the receptionists desk so she'd know what I was doing), and on their website, or you can print it off. So I guess it would be best to go there first. I'll ask my psychiatrist.

Wish it was Wednesday, I just feel like I need a good cry to my psychiatrist. Sorry for venting.

This is the link to my personal thread @Former-Member . I think you posted there sometime last week?

It says it belongs to a 'former member', but that member is actually me. I left for a while and came back.

Just want to say something about your comment on the Worry Room thread ... "I am causing to much pain for the ones I love the most". My observation is that you would cause far more pain to those you love most .. if you were no longer around. Of course its painful for them to see you suffering and will cause anguish for them to feel that they can do nothing to help. Thats normal reaction when confronted by a loved one in turmoil. But their pain would be far far more, if you did not exist at all.

So ... rest, regain some oomph, allow the exhaustion to wane a little. It wont last forever, and soon you will see things very differently.

You don't need to apologise for venting @Former-Member That's what the community is here for.

@Former-Member Thanks for being an epic support to @Former-Member as well. Really stoked with members tonight, everyone really has one another's back. It's a chaotic time out there, but you're all maintaining your solidity between one another on the forum. 😌 Really powerful.
