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.

I know you'll get it done hun. Don't worry about that tonight You have a plan in place to get to work early and also knowing that, that is what you did last week and got it done easy should be comforting to know.

Re: Tough Times

Thanks Hon - you are right - an early start and just do it tomorrow @Lee82 Could not concentrate on it tonight even if I tried so leaving it when I have had a good night's sleep (hoefully) should help.

All good babe. I hope you get a good nights rest too. Nothing worse than not getting enough sleep.

Re: Tough Times

I know what you mean about today babe, it's been full of triggers for me as well. Still trying to recover from kimmy's bad night, being at my mother's (even though she wasn't there) He is back here only because of the nephew that needs to be tested for covid19 and once that is ok he is gone again. D3 left with acknowledging Mother's Day and D2 hasn't acknowledged Mother's Day either. Just boat loads happening right now and last night I failed in a big way. Trying hard to stay away from the dark tonight.

Honestly how are u babe. @Lee82

Re: Tough Times

You have had a lot going on today babe and I'm so sorry that D2 and D3 did not acknowledge Mother's Day. That is not right and you deserve to be celebrated gorgeous.
It pains me to hear you had a rough night last night. I'm here for you tonight babe until sleep grabs you only if you want me to be.
I know you are not happy with him being there hon but it's comforting to know that you will be looked after.

Mmm I have to be careful about what I say on here but I am dealing with the effects of this afternoon and feeling very sorry for myself. Mum just really pi**ed me off today with her bulls**t and doting over her daughter just brought up a lot of past issues. I at least got to have a little chat with my brother about it all. He feels the same way. We get to share are feelings about it all. At least though he gets to leave but I am stuck here.

Re: Tough Times

Thanks @outlander not doing so great and getting sick of always not doing so great. It's like Groundhog Day. I just want even just one day when I can say today was an ok day.

In response to: Re: Tough Times

Re: Tough Times

I get it @Lee82 its hard to know what to say or want to say anything when everyday feels like its always the same.
im sorry about your experiences with your mum today but im glad you got to share with your brother. sometimes mums can be very difficult!
