Tough Times

[Lee82]

Wow that's amazing you got up for  Anzac Day this morning. Were there many people out in their driveways where you live? @Snowie

Hey @Lee82 ,

I'm sorry to hear you're having such a difficult time at the moment. The current circumstances are impacting everyone in different ways, and sometimes it can be hard to see others seemingly taking it in their stride. Something to remember is that most of the time, people will only present their best self to the world, and so we don't see the struggles within - especially with social media, it can make it feel like everyone else is doing fine whilst we are having trouble accomplishing basic tasks. I encourage you to be gentle with yourself - if getting up and having a shower is a struggle but you still manage it some days anyway, then that is a win! 

On this topic, I have found this to be helpful in reminding myself that it is okay to be struggling at the moment: 

Let us know if you're in need of any extra support today - same goes to all of you

There were a few @Lee82 We live on some land so don't have too many neighbours.

We had quite a few on our street apparently come out this morning. Mum and I live only a couple doors down from each other so even though I am at her place I can always go home to grab some stuff accompanied of course. My mums 13yr old daughter went out this morning and played the last post on the violin for the neighbours. I heard it from  the bedroom. My 2 boys went out with her and mum. @Snowie

Thanks @Jynx  will have a read of it a little later on. 

[Snowie]

Thanks @Jynx for that, a very good reminder.

That was nice of your mum and the kids to go out @Lee82 

It is important that we educate the next generation as to what the ANZAC's are about and to honour all past/present people serving our country.

that is very true @Jynx

Hello @Snowie , @Zoe7 , @Appleblossom

Hey @Lee82 go easy on yourself a little. It's OK to not be ok. There is this great societal expectation that right now because life has slowed down we should be accomplishing amazing things, our houses should be decluttered and organised, we should be all Zen, peace and lightness, etc, etc. I call BS on that. We can't all be those people. And we are no less either. Sometimes our bodies and brains need rest. Hugs and hugs Lee. 💕💕💕💕

@Lee82I am alright. Plugging along ...

Later on you can work through your issues.

At this stage, do what you need to get through.

Sounds like there were some good Anzac moments.

One step at a time.

Thank you @Appleblossom 💗

it's just hard and painful to take that step right now. Feels like I am taking more steps backwards then forwards.
