So far forward, but its all gone wrong

Sal,

I do wonder whether you're taking on too many extra hours at work when you are still essentially in need of recovery... Be careful.

Being tired , overstretched and having other pressures like Sam and interpersonal issues will drain you further making it seem harder to pull out of your temporary dip..

Please look after yourself.

Sal, you aren't alone in this.

We've all had these blips from time to time.
There's not a day go by when we wonder if this is as good as it gets.

The main thing is to remember your coping skills as they will be a huge benefit to you when you have these off days.

Hang in there.

Love, light and Best wishes

I'm having one of those blip moments too.
I got in the car to collect the kids from school and started to panic!
I couldn't believe it I thought I was passed all that months ago.

Since then I've been sent out for a walk around the block.
Cleaned the water feature and pond.
And generally pottered about.

But over all I am still alive and kicking ! [8D]

Love, light and Best wishes

Hi Meg

How are you hon?

Thanks for your posts. I do think i am taking on too much at work, but i find it hard to say no when they are so short staffed and it puts pressure on my colleagues if i cant do the extra hours.

It is hard aswell as i seem to be finishing work then rushing to get Sam, and dont feel like i am getting a minute for myself.

Sam is playing up a bit at the moment, my fault for been to soft with her but now she isnt seeing much of her dad, she is taking a lend of me.

I just feel so anxious and tired all the time. I could go to bed now and sleep all night but as soon as get Sam to bed, i become wide awake and cant sleep. Then knowing i have to be up at 5.30 doesnt help because i clock watch.

Feel like i could run away from it all at the moment.

Love Sal xxxx

They'll be even more short staffed if you need to take some time off with exhaustion. Please take care of yourself at present.

When you're back up to speed and recovered you can help out more then.

Kids need time, attention, patience and firm boundaries and when you're tired or fractious yourself it makes everything so much harder. As you give way once or twice , she'll know how to manipulate you.

Take control of your time and use it for your benefit, rather than being reactive to all the external pressures you have.

Anxiety is a thin stream of fear trickling through the mind.
If encouraged, it cuts a channel into which all other thoughts are drained.

Hiya Sal

Please remember that you are still not cured and are not superwoman! You need time out too and you must be careful that you don't overdo it.

Please try and find some time for you and make sure you don't get too stressed at work cos it could set you back.

We are all thinking about you ok?

Hi Nic

How are you?

I know i am not cured but hide it all.

No one at work would really understand how i feel.

Not sure where to go from here as am not getting better.

You guys have been brilliant, just hope you know how much i appreciate it.

Thanks for your support.

Lots of love Sal xxxx
