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 just have so many emotions running through me right now I don't even know where to begin. Feeling like I have fallen into a deep black hole with no way of getting out of it. Can't control my anxiety can't stop the tears. I just want to run away and never come back. The amount of guilt I am feeling right now is unbelievable. My kids don't deserve any of this. I am a burden to everyone. None of my tools seem to be working its just frustrating and disheartening.
I'm sorry @Snowie that's probably a lot of heavy stuff right there. Hope your day has been good to you.

Re: Tough Times

I can understand that deep dark hole hun @Lee82 , it is hard to climb our way out of. You are not a burden, especially not to your children. You are showing an enormous amount of courage to keep going for the sake of your children when times are tough.

I'm sorry none of your tools are working, it is hard when we try so hard but have no success.

My day has been ok

Re: Tough Times

I just don't know what to do anymore. I don't know what the solution is. I don't know how to cope. I see all these people around me coping so well. Getting things done, enjoying their lives, dealing with the situation we are all living in at the moment, accomplishing activities etc and I find it difficult just to get up and go have a shower. @Snowie

Re: Tough Times

what have you been up today? @Snowie

In response to: Re: Tough Times

Re: Tough Times

It is hard @Lee82 when our coping strategies are not working. Just take it an hour at a time or even a minute at a time. I go days without a shower sometimes. Not ideal but we just have to do what we can do to get through each day.

I haven't been up to much today. Got up early for ANZAC day but that is about it.

Re: Tough Times

Wow that's amazing you got up for Anzac Day this morning. Were there many people out in their driveways where you live? @Snowie
