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

Omg babe I'm so sorry to hear about your mum. I hope she is ok.
babe I know calling the ambulance has cause PTSD and has triggered you but can I just highlight Something.....you did it babe. You managed to call the ambulance. Just another little win despite how it has made you feel. I haven't read the worry room yet but I will head over there now. I just wanted to message you first.
as for your work coordinator he/she needs to back off. Babe have you thought about maybe getting all your MH team member to either ring them or send them an email with their opinion about you returning to work. Surely that has to count for something.
I am so so sorry I wasn't there for you earlier babe but I see you had @outlander and a few others support which is great. I haven't slept in god knows how many nights that my body finally gave in and my meds must have worked as I fell asleep for a bit but I am now wide awake so if you need to talk or you just want someone to sit with you I am here babe.

Re: Tough Times

Thank you @mudsum for saying that. Us mums are our own worst critic but I seem to have another that is always in my ear. Hard to change the way you feel when your own mother makes you feel like you are not doing a great job.
hope you are asleep and will be till morning.

Worry room will tell you but please be aware it may trigger you so don't go there if you are struggling. I just can't type that s**t again. 💔😞 You being here is more than enough @Lee82

Re: Tough Times

FINALLY, thank you for putting you first for once. God I love you 💖 well I have just finished my third bowl of hokey pokey ice cream and have a brain freeze now. But it's been oddly calming knowing you are here and I am finally starting to get sleepy. @Lee82

In response to: Re: Tough Times

Re: Tough Times

lol...it isnt an easy thing to do babe. Every fibre in my body wants to go over there and read it.
love hokey pokey ice cream...😋

I am so glad you are becoming sleepy and thanks for telling me cause I would have been worried if all of a sudden you stopped writing.
why do you have to be up early tomorrow babe?
