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.

Thanks beautiful. I want to give you a great big hug and tell you just how much you mean to me. It was nice of your other kids to send you a message unfortunately with the lockdown it's hard for people to catch up.
love you to infinity and beyond

@Former-Member ❤️

Re: Tough Times

Thanks @Zoe7 your thoughts mean a lot to me. My boys also wrote me a beautiful card which brought me to tears because none of what they said is true. I feel like what they wrote is really what they are wishing for not what they are thankful for. I feel more guilty now than ever.

Re: Tough Times

Often those around us see what we don't within ourselves @Lee82 so whilst you may not feel what your boys wrote they obviously see it - be kind to yourself and know that from your boys point of view you are doing so uch right. Kids have a beautiful way of saying what they think so it is obvious from their words that they think highly of you - take that on board Hon and know that your boys love you

Re: Tough Times

No didn't do much at all @Lee82 Too tired and slept most of the day again. I think I am going to struggle with work tomorrow but I will need to go in super early to get some work done - just can't do it tonight. Had plenty of Toby snuggles though so that has been nice.

Re: Tough Times

Those days are just as important as a day full of tasks. @Zoe7

I know you will have whatever is needed to be ready for those kids ready on time Zoe. Tonight is about you and Tobes and having lots of cuddles. ❤️❤️

Hey babe. How you doing? What you up to tonight? @Former-Member

Re: Tough Times

I am a bit concerned about getting some learning tasks sent off tomorrow @Lee82 to one of my students that needs a different program because I am on class tomorrow and won't have a lot of time to do that in the morning. It only took me an hour last week so if I can get in super early I should be able to get it done.
