I am at crossroads and I don't know what to do or who to turn to.And I find it so hard to trust and to open up to anyone. For the most part I feel terrible and struggle to function day to day.. Do others have similar experenices and or concerns?

@LostAngel Glad you're able to work through your emotions and use your toolbox to ground yourself and move forward. Well done you. Thank you for sharing your strategies here. I have been doing a bit more each day. I have been able to get outside in the sunshine and fresh air and also went for a swim today. Afterwards, I just had a lye in the sun to dry off and get more vitamin D. I have a busy week coming up. I have my parents staying with me Monday night and I have to pick them up and also take them home on Tuesday after my Dads specialist appointment. I forgot on Sunday I am having MRI done. And Wednesday I have to take Millie for her final puppy vaccine. And Thursday I have specialist appointment and Friday I have my GP appointment.
What did you do today?

Hi @MDT
Still trying to work through this, the best I can
I guess, I am starting to believe more in myself
I need to take some of my own advice- one step at a time and need to be more consistent

@MDT Thank you for your understand, it means a lot to me. I am seeing my psych this Thursday and hoping to have a good discussion with her. Do you have any appointments coming up?
