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

I agree with @Appleblossom ... please dont worry about it @Former-Member 😊 We all get negative at times. And lets face it ... thats why we are all here ... for support when we are at our low point. Just continue to say what you need to say, and seek the comfort and support you need .. when you need it. Your time will come to repay the favour .. things have a habit of going in swings and roundabouts.

Oh sweetie...it sounds like you need to try and do something for you babe. A little self care hun. I hear you doing all these wonderful things for everyone else which is great but where do you fit in.
you are right logically you are not at risk. Mum was tested for COVID last week all because she had a sore throat. (It was negative of course)

you are doing the best you can do right now honey although I can imagine how sore you feel after your shower. I'm so sorry that bear has been affected by this and in turn you have too. Also My sweet little Kimmy.

although I completely understand you feeling bad for posting negative things as I always feel the same way babe this is the right place for it as it gives you the freedom of course within guidelines to be honest about where you are at and how you are feeling. What you are feeling is real and valid and we are all here to listen and support you as best we can. No one is judging you at all.
love you so much babe and I hope things improve.
what have you got planned for tomorrow? Tell me all about it babe.

I just don't care anymore Lee, I am over it, I am over the pain of the flashbacks and am over not being good enough for anyone.

Love you 3000 and always will. @Lee82

Re: Tough Times

Please don't talk like that babe. You are enough. You are enough for your children your granddaughter and you are more than enough for me. There are always going to be people in our lives that make us feel that way and they are the ones that don't deserve our time and love. We are who we are and if they don't like it that's their problem.
you have to keep fighting babe. Think of all the people who you will distroy. You have so much more to give.
I am concerned about you babe can you please let one of daughters know that you are not doing so well and if not have a crisis team on dial. Can you message Nat.

Hey @Former-Member

Just want to echo the sentiments of others here - this is a safe place for you to be able to express your negative feelings, especially to other folks who can empathise. I guess maybe try to imagine yourself as someone else looking in - if one of the other forum members was posting about their intense emotions in a similar way, would you see it as bad, or see it as them just needing a place to express themselves?

It sounds like you're having a pretty rough day too so let us know if you're in need of any extra support - we are always around to help

💔 @Lee82 thank you gorgeous. You don't have to worry because he is here too because he took me to mothers today so he has to stay always from his mother until we now. 😞😞😞 not sure this is going to help current mood but you don't have to worry. By the way d3 told me she is moving out on Mother's Day!!!!! Thanks for the slap in the face. I am worthless to them

Re: Tough Times

Think about your friend you are going to see babe after lockdown is over and how excited you were about that.
the experience you will have on that road trip. All the fun and laughter you will have with her and her kids.

Re: Tough Times

Oh babe. I'm so sorry to hear that about D3. That is a little rough on Mother's Day hun. You are definitely not worthless to them. She is just a young adult and sometimes they can be a little selfish and at the moment everything is all about her but understand your hurt about her wanting to leave tomorrow.
I am so relieved to know exh2 is there with you babe.
how is your mum going?
