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

Thank you very much honey, but I can do it anymore. If you want to and no pressure I dropped it in the worry room. I just need to sleep but there is no way that is going to happen with those memories fresh in my mind. Can't see thru the tears, having trouble typing because my hands won't stop shaking. @outlander

@Lee82I have missed chatting with you tonight my love. I hope you are ok. I am going to try for some sleep ( though I know it won't come) now as I have an early morning. Love you

Good night my friends

@outlander @Sans911 @Purplerain @Former-Member amd everyone else.

Re: Tough Times

I'm really sorry everything seems so hard, so lost, right now @Former-Member ... and yes I read the Worry Room. 😔

I hope you are able to put those memories aside for a while tonight to allow some much needed sleep.

Good night Dizzy. 😴💤

@Former-Member Hey you did it!!! You did do it!!! Well done. And the vomiting, crying shaking is all your wonderfully prepared nervous system letting go of what it didn’t need. Thank you body for those amazing releases.

@Lee82

it is definitely very difficult when the voice inside tells you that you have failed at everything. I wonder though what qualifies for a mum who has failed??? Truely failed?? I can think of some examples but from what it sounds like I’m not sure you fit that category or even closely. And you didn’t have a great example either 🤔 💭 so seems that you have found some resolve to be more than you knew. And that resolve takes energy and effort.

For what it is worth Mother’s Day is doing my head in this year!!
