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.

@Lee82 I had a good day at school. I did get my work done this morning but had not sent out this weeks learning tasks on Friday - sent out everything I needed to apart from those so had many messages today asking for it. I sent them straight away while the kids worked - lucky it was an easy fix. Back is okay but still uncomfortable.

Re: Tough Times

Hey @Lee82 Nothing on for tonight now - was going to do some more work and a little housework but slept for nearly 2 hours when I got home so most of the evening has gone. I could not keep my eyes open and fell asleep on the couch working. Luckily enough the computer fell onto my lap and not on the floor Have already taken my night meds and think I will be in bed pretty soon.

How was your day - haven't caught up on everyone yet.

Re: Tough Times

Same here @Zoe7 haven't done anything tonight. Just made myself a coffee. My brother made us dinner for tonight so didn't even have to cook.
you were up pretty late last night so No wonder your tired hun.
today I helped Mr8 with his school work, went for a walk with all the kids and that's pretty much it. No a very eventful day.

Re: Tough Times

That is exhausting though @Lee82 Learning at home is not easy and you also got a walk in so I class both those things as wins 👍 So nice to have dinner made for you too. I ate a little as soon as I got home but not at all hungry now so will go to bed instead. Tobes and Cat have both been fed their night biscuits and Cat is outside. I will give her a little more time then bring her in. Tobes is wandering around but will settle next to me soon - that is his usual routine. If I stop replying then I have flaked it ...don't think that will be very long

Re: Tough Times

Yea I suppose you could class them as a win. I could and probably would an although in there but will refrain from doing so.
No problems sweets I am very grateful that you popped in to say hey. That was very sweet of you even though you are so tired.
@Zoe7

if you fall asleep have another good day tomorrow and have the sweetest of dreams. I will be around for I would say most of the night so if you wake and want to chat I'll be here. 💕

Re: Tough Times

Just got some good news, my nephew doesn't have covid19 👏👏👏👏 so everything can go back to the normal it was before Saturday.

@outlander @Former-Member @Zoe7 @Former-Member

@Lee82 , hope you believe me when say I am sorry for not telling you. But I didn't for the reason I nearly didn't say anything today. I hate that it upset you, never meant to cause you any pain. Yes he did have to call them, but I refused to go to hospital. I am sorry for causing you additional pain my love. Now who isn't any good for the other??????? Love you heaps beautiful
