    I was the same when I first upped mine, it takes awhile for your brain to settle which unfortunately meant for me my anxiety has gotten worse. I am coming into my 3rd week now and think I may be turning a corner, that said ive gottta get through the day yet. I hope you feel more yourself soon. x

      Had an awful morning. Had terrible morning anxiety, only started to feel calmer at about 3. I am probably overthinking having to go back to work on monday. I hate that if you can shake the anxiety off it takes so long and I had such a good day yesterday. oh well fingers crossed 2mo is a better day. hows about you have you had a better day today? x

    • Posted

      aww bless you thats what i feel like anxiety and mood is awful in morning. yeah your will be fine once you get to work hun. today ive been to my sisters for a little party. so ive been okayish today.

    • Posted

      Thats really good, good on you for going. a step in the right direction doing things. its one of the big things i struggle with family events as i feel im being judged so avoid it like the plague. Im watching some mel robbins you tube videos atm, came across her while looking up help with anxiety she has some really good tips for dealing with it. you should take a look if you havent seen her already. sending positive vibes for an awesome day 2mo x

    • Posted

      Morning, I am sure you will have a nice time whilst you are there. I have my niece this morning for a couple of hours as my brother is taking my nephew to his golf lesson. Then I want to try and get to the gym and then I need to do some house work at my parents are home sunday. I live at home in a split property, they live downstairs and I live upstair.

      Have a great day today and enjoy that bbq.

      was a good day yesterday in the end. not doing great this morning as fretting over work 2mo. could also be that i had a bottle of wine yesterday as i have read that it can make anxiety worse, thats another thing to give up then lol I had a letter come yesterday from legal and general as ive been off work for 5 weeks so had to fill that all in, not sure what they are gonna do?

      I have a docs app 2mo to talk about my anxiety so that will be fun NOT.

      i completely crashed out last night sorry, I tried watching tv (im into watching good girls on netflix when i can concentrate on tv) i think the insomnia caught up with me as woke up on the sofa at 2am lol longest sleep ive had in about 4 mths but of course I was then wide awake so just been pottering about trying not to make to much noise n wake the rents down stairs. I had my call from the mental health nurse this week she was lovely and has referred me for cbt so now waiting for info on that. ive sent you a message with my name, now that ive gotten to know you id like to admit i do have fb i just like to be extra cautious when 'meeting' new people. you never know these days. fell free to message me whenever you like, im not sure about you but i have found finding someone that struggles just like me a god send, being able to share whats in my head has probably been a life saver so although i dont know you very well. THANK YOU.

      I hope you have a better day today xxx
