Overwhelmed

[heda123]

I'm trying not to get stressed but I am! Pmt, isolation, silent treatment from boss side effects of steroids and being alone at home with only hubby is killing me! Missing my mum neice siblings and the children i lookafter (I'm a nanny). Need some positivity but today just doesn't seem to be that day.

Hi Heda, first off, I am so terribly sorry you are having a rough time.

About a year ago I had a specialist put me on his dose steroids. I told him I was trying to avoid them, but he insisted and I complied. It was awful for me. I was crying all day without reason

And I couldn’t sleep at night.

You have reason to feel stressed with all that is going on, but I think your steroids might possibly be the true culprit? So, while you have a reason to feel upset while I really had no reason, just remember it’s possible more the steroids than what is going on in the world.

It always helps me to keep remembering ‘this too shall pass’, because it always does and it will.

Trying thinking of this as new opportunities. Are there cupboards you’ve been wanting to clear out or reorganize? Closets that need the same? A book you wanted to read but have been to busy?

Maybe a little self indulgence like an at home spa day? Find a nice ‘do it your self’ online face mask and give yourself a warm soak in the tub, lights off and your favorite music on.

I think we all have things we put off because they are low priority (including taking care of ourselves), that now is a great time to check off our list.

Maybe you could even talk your husband into painting your toe nails😁.

Have fun with this, and like the song says ‘don’t worry. Be happy’.

I wish you the best Heda! 🙏

Thank you. I have been decluttering to be honest. I do a drawer a day. I've been ok until today. Hopefully I'll feel better soon. Xxx

You will. Just keep reminding yourself that it could be your meds and not how you really feel.

So sorry Heda. I think we can all identify with your feelings. Sending you a big virtual cwtch and hope tomorrow is a better day for you xx
