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.

Hi @Lee82 ,

I just want to flag your post about "drinking it all away". If this refers to alcohol, I just want to make sure you are not advocating using large amounts of alcohol, or consuming unsafe amounts yourself. This is considered a highy risky activity so just wanting to ensure that you are safe after having mentioned that. If you'd like to chat about anything, shoot us an email at the Forums team or reach out to the most appropriate person for you (or of course Lifeline or SCBS.)

Hope you are well!

Regards,

Otter

Glad you are safe @Lee82 Thinking of you and @Former-Member today. Have the kids done anything nice for you both for Mother's Day?

In response to: Re: Tough Times

Re: Tough Times

@Lee82 I do that everyday, I feel like I'm insensitive and don't think too.

But it's ok, I don't think you did anything wrong but I didn't see the post
