Hi, this is my first time posting and I guess it's a big step on my road to recovery o could go on and on g or hours
About my past hurt and trauma but I will save you all the agonising experience and just say it has left me with
A case of bpd , anxiety and depression .
At this present point in time the world is going crazy but I'm finding it extra extremely difficult to go on living.
I am a single mum I work full time and I'm currently off work due to a heap of medical issues .
My children are at their fathers so I can recover and get better from said health issues
As of tonight we go into lockdown which essentially means I am in lockdown alone and I'm finding it so hard to deal with .
My anxiety is crippling , my head is a mess and I guess I'm just wondering how everyone else is dealing with being away from loved ones ?,
Dealing with the extra added stress that the world is producing atm .?
Thankyou

Yes that's exactly it having someone to relate to very much helps . I have been in contact with my children and as hard as it is I know they are in the best space for them to be and will be with me as soon as they are able to be .
I had surgery the other day so I have to now really isolate untill I can go back to work so fingers crossed that is for to long

2quik I'm not going to lie the past few days have been the worst for me personally in a long time .
I went to the doctor today though and started my health journey also by doing simple things I should have done yonks ago like getting my eyes tested .
I've started researching courses to keep me busy and hoping to get back to work . So whilst mentally I'm not a 100 percent I feel like I'm on the way thankyou

TiaLee,
I know this might be a funny way of looking at things right now. I will say though that you are really not alone. I think it is safe to say all of us here are struggling with our own different things now to do with Covid19 and life in general. The past week has been the week from hell from me. I see from the steps that you have taken recently shows to me you have the ability to offer yourself love and care by going to get your eyes tested and doing simple little things. Studying is a great way to keep you busy and comes with it learning something new or something you have always wanted to do. I just enrolled in my Editing II course today and start this week. I am so excited. I have been wanting to do this for years and finally am. I hope you find something you would love to study.
