How handle everyone’s emotions?

[Sidewalksal]

Hello, just need an idea of how to create a barrier around me - Dh constantly talks about his work and it’s difficulties, dd can’t cope w school/life ds feeling lonely and needs amusement and cuddles or he is on computer all the time.
Trying to get on with my own stuff and be motivated but feeling very anxious and close to panic now! Doesn’t seem to be a break from all the emotional needs.
Sure I’m not the only one, how are you coping? Tips please!

Yes I hear you. Same here. I try to get out for a walk on my own when I can.

Yes a walk works. Also time to read, write

I had a cry on my own in the garden.

Oh transient, that’s a shame. Here’s a hug to all of us.😀💐
I think it’s very hard to be supporting our kids and Dh and elderly friends and relatives. I know we are supposed to let them have their own journies and sort themselves out but I still feel I have to keep moral / routine up a bit, - otherwise we would all just slip into our own rooms and screens which is happening more and more. and of course when they all come and moan you have to listen. Snapped at Dh cos he’d gone to get treats and come back fmoaning that there were no treats and his bag broke. Just be a bit fun! Please!

Podcasts in the bath with candles.. Louis Theroux ones. I say I’m just going for a bath and soak for an hour listening to it, I know exactly what you mean and this is what I do to deal with it since I can’t eat all the chocolate and watch real housewives of crap 😆
