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.

Re: Tough Times

Sorry I just saw this post.
That's great babe. You need to tell her everything. I hope you don't get upset at me but I really think you need to go into hospital babe. You need to reset everything again hun. You need a break from all the pressures you have in your life right now and have the opportunity to really work on you 100% of the time.
it is going to be damn hard not being able to speak to you everyday but I want my friend happy and safe. ❤️

Re: Tough Times

When I posted in the other thread and asked that no one mentioned it, I was actually trying to protect you because I was sacred if you knew it would upset you too much. But this morning I thought you deserved to know that by saying "I hope that was meant to be good night and not goodbye" you saved my life💖

I am not upset that you think I should be in hospital part of me thinks the same way. It's just pass trauma that stops me seeking that support.

Love you 3000 @Lee82

All set up to try paint pouring this morning. I hope you all can find time to do something new or just something for you today.

That's so inspirational @Former-Member I have some baking to do and I'll hope to get some painting done on my abstract cubist artwork....

Can you post a video?: might be hard to not get yourself in it...

Re: Tough Times

Babe I am so glad that my words were effective because that is all I have. I can't be there any other way. 😞

please really consider hospital babe. I know it maybe bring up some stuff but they can help with that. Just be honest with them.
love you to infinity and beyond ❤️

Re: Tough Times

@Angels333 , I can't post a video but I will post pictures when we are done. I wouldn't mind seeing your baking either.

@Former-Member , it is so much fun. 💖

@Lee82 , I guess that goes to show you never underestimate the power of words, especially when they come from the heart. Just google paint pouring my love, I would not know how to explain it probably. Plenty of pics to come when we are done

Re: Tough Times

@Former-Member . Looks like fun. I think its a good idea to post pics of your projects. Love to see the finished product too. I took my little dog for a walk. Just doing housework and shopping etc after a really lazy day yesterday. Hope everyone has a great day.
