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.

It's not that, you guys have been awesome tonight and it should have been enough but I gave up last night and those feeling haven't changed today. I didn't take my night meds so it's my own fault. @Lee82

Re: Tough Times

Nah he went to bed a while ago. I can hear him snoring from my lounge room. How can it be this bad? I am just not trying hard enough and I don't see the point if I am being honest. D2 has told me once she has the money she is moving out too. Tell me again how I am worth it, that I am loveable. How nice can I really be that the two who live with me didn't even wish me a happy Mother's Day really what does that say about me as a mum. @Lee82 Thank you for holding on tight sweetheart

Re: Tough Times

Honey you are worth it, you are kind and caring. They are just being selfish young adults right now. I know you are all those thing because I hear it in the stories you tell me about your family. I hear it here on the forum with all the support and advice you give everyone. You can tell a mile away that you are a caring mum. You need to believe all that.
you are doing the best you can right now babe. You have had a lot to deal with lately. You need to be kind to yourself sweets. Please @Former-Member

Re: Tough Times

Sorry everyone I was just scrolling through Facebook. Is everyone ok and safe?

I better get some sleep, I'd stay on longer but my meds are making me tired and dizzy, nearly fell over going to the toilet but I'm told not to get up too quickly and walk around but it's not that easy, I'm ok though just tired.

I'll be back sometime tomorrow to check in, stay safe and take care everyone please

@Lee82 @Former-Member @outlander sleep well and sweet dreams all of you, good night. I hope tomorrow, well today since it's midnight, is better for everybody
