Struggling a bit today....

That's it really. Busy weekend, too much stress, children cooped up because of the weather. Work is like a break sometimes but I can't concentrate and I need to offload. I just feel disconnected and tired and sad. I've got so much to do though that I have no time for that.

That's all. It will pass, I know it will, just need to ride it out and keep my head down.

Not too sure what to say except I understand and hope you fiddle some time around so you get to talk to someone to release a bit of pressure

Morning
Feeling bad today, so very tired, tired of getting up and feeling like I've not been to sleep. Sleep is my escape and my cave, like to be in my cave nobody can upset me. My get up and go has gone! Don't feel like eating, can't go out today with my actors face on.
Hope you all are coping today.
Stars to all. Dalia

Dalia - Can you walk at lunchtime? Just put your music on and walk around outside for a bit. I find it gives me alone time in my head and also some fresh air. Just wander and window shop. No need to speak to or smile at anyone.

They say going to gym helps but when you are low thats like telling someone with a broken leg to climb Everest....

I love to sleep too but I try and catch myself when Im starting to sleep too much as its a sign Im getting into a low patch. Try and keep to a going to bed and getting up routine, even if thats quite early to bed. keep it at the same time. It will provide some structure.

Hang in there today.

Thank you Stephanie for taking the time to write.
Managed to walk in the garden thanks to you, but not up to window shopping. I'm feeling relieved it's night time, always feel better at night
Close the curtains and that's another day out of the way.
Visiting my mother thursday, it's 1hr drive, don't mind driving because I'm in control (if that makes sence ) Actors face on for my mom, she's 92yrs and not in the best of health, don't want to worry her.
Thanks again. Stars to you and to the tribe.Dalia.

Hi EllieG.
Bit better today/night (12.35am) the day at my moms was a little stressed for me. Could not talk about anything constructive, just trivia and what she needed from the shops, this sounds bad, but I was glad to leave so I could stop trying to be cheerful, this Makes me feel very guilty. Can't win. Anyway it's night time so I'll be ok for now.
How are you EllieG let's hope you have a better weekend than the last one, and you find some space to be you. Stars to you Dalia

Re: Struggling a bit today....

I was havimg a browse through the forum and this subject seemed to sum up how I'm feeling. My anxiety has flared up this morning and I'm finding it hard work. I'm sat at my desk trying to seem normal! The day is stretching out in front of me. I know that it will pass but when the anxiety takes hold it's as if it's the first time and I feel so desperate. Everyone else seems so cheery and normal whilst I'm sat here like a misery guts wondering yet again if this is what I will have to put up with for the rest of my life (it's been 10 years so far).

Thanks for listening

Kel

Re: Struggling a bit today....

Hi Kel,

I know what thats like to see this illness stretch out in front of you. Its been about 10yrs for me too and I remember my life beforehand and sometimes I get angry about it because I wonder what I have done to deserve this, and the age old 'its not fair' thoughts etc.

Dalia - well done for getting out. Keep doing it and it should be easier with the sun out.

Im so tired today, I could just lie down and sleep. Im also very cold and can't seem to warm up.
