Am Not Coping

[Zoe7]

Best to get these things done as soon as possible @outlander but I can appreciate that is needs to be the right time too - you will know if it is right or not in the moment

Doing 2 things with one phone call is great - you have done that now so you can tick that off your list. I know you hve been putting some things off but tht just adds to your anxiety - better to get them done sooner rather than later and then the what if's and questions are minimised in your mind.

That is really sucky @Faith-and-Hope - I think I expected you to have some beautiful old heritage buildings to draw - I am not so much a fan of many of the more modern buildings so can understand your frustration there - then to have a fire drill just adds to that frustration... at least it was only a drill though and you are safe 

Waiting for image....

Yes for sure @Zoe7 id like it to be done asap but it wont make any differencr if its today or a few days.
It was adding to my anxiety but just coulsnt work up the courage but st least its done now 💗

@Faith-and-Hope 🖐❣

Yes it is done now @outlander 

Do you have any plans for this afternoon - or is it just a chill out time until you see your mum and decide whether to talk to her or not?

@Zoe7Tortoise speed is fine. Just keep moving a little, even through the winter months.

Thanks @Appleblossom - definitely having some small wins along the way - it is helping me keep going right now!

I need to try to keep these 2 hydrotherapy sessions per week - stay in that routine even when I do not have the motivation for it like today - really didn't want to go but knew I would be ok when I got there so pushed myself - glad I did

Its done @Zoe7 it went ok which is another bit of relief well that was one tricky thing anyway..

Im just at mums house watching the little one. Mum and middle sister have gone to the shops. Pops coming over to mums house to set up an exercise machine so hanging around here. I went to work earlier so thats done. Other than that im just chilling and keeping distracted.

@Zoe7I have had a few years going to the pool. It can be so hard in winter and to get started, but the benefits are there.

@outlander Glad you are steady, and communicating about whats needed, even when you feel badly.

@Faith-and-Hope A lot of us prefer ole heritage buildings, but modern architecture is here to stay. I find the rationalisations for the forms more interesting that the look ... I hope it was a one off session and you get back to drawing what satisfies YOU.

I think it is harder to do most things in winter @Appleblossom - I know I definitely struggle with the shorter daylight hours each day and the colder weather! I much prefer Summer 

The pool has been good for me though - I can feel the difference in my back and although there is a lot more work to do it does seem to be improving. It doesn't take me 3 or 4 days now to recover from a session so that is positive. I would like to add a 3rd session in a week but that may be pushing myself too much right now - so 2 will suffice.

How are you travelling?
