Hi All

I have posted on site before but today really bad and just want someone to listen and reply.  Anxiety high - I think I know the reason - today I do not work so not with any company  and I dont like being alone.  Altough I know it is really illogical my brain sends me high, crying, stressed about being alone.  This happens every week and the night before I am ok and say to myself that today (Friday) will be different but again I wake up in a total mess.  Does anyone know how to deal with this.  How to turn my thought patterns around so that Fridays are looked forward too.  Thius has only been for last 2 months.

    Hi Joyce,very sorry to hear this !have you tried reflexology? Or aromatherapy? Both very good for stress. Have you got a dog? Again good for calming. Do you listen to relaxation CDs? Regards Amanda

    Hi,

    You need to plan something for a friday.  It doesn't  have to be anything big or expensive but just something that gets you out.  You can try going to a movie ( it's totally ok to go to a movie alone), going to a museum, just going to a different park then for a coffee.

     I know its incredibly hard to motivate yourself when anxious but give it it a try, when I'm totally stressed I make myself go to the park so that I don't sit in and get in to a total frenzy.

    Hi All thanks for your advice

    Amanda yes I have a dog and took her for her walk this morning.

    Alice I went into work for a few hours as I owed some time back, then went to shops to purchase yet more items to stick in the wardrobe but was totally devoid of feeling, I used to go to the cinema by myself so no problems there.

    I have just managed to eat a scrambled egg for lunch, first thing I've eaten today Thankk you to everyonex
