Hey I'm new here too. Can't even figure out how to post a question as I'm just bad at sorting things out, let alone my life haha. I'm a binger of life I.e alcohol, drugs, working out, cooking food as a chef, reading into things that randomly spark my interest and I don't understamd until I could basically verbalise a thesis on the damn subject. it's all just one obsession rapidly cycling into another. You're not alone.

Hi @Prickle
Welcome to the forums. I'm sorry to hear that things haven't been going well since you were discharged from hospital. I'm wondering, do you have many supports around you? It might be a good idea to reach out to them as well.
Sending strength your way,

Hi @Former-Member
I have community support however we are on a 5 day lockdown so it is harder also my house is now on an advice level for fire so we are ready to leave meaning support in the community is hard. I have had a good chat with my peer worker this morning and that helped. I don't feel quite as bad today but my anxiety is still huge. I'm just trying to practice breathing and letting my loved ones know if I'm not coping.
Thanks.

Hi @Prickle
I hear you. Both of those situations would make things especially difficult. The anxiety you're experiencing is definitely understandable.
It's good to hear that you had a chat to your Peer Worker and they helped. Well done for reaching out for supports when it's so difficult to do so right now.
The forums and Sane's Support Services are here if you need them.
Take care,
Rosie93
