Thanks, just feeling like life is passing me by, and I’ve missed my chance, this getting older is the pits, have a loving family and great network of friends, but feel they must be sick of me, I’m sick of me. Am so thankful for your input, this is such a great forum and can see that it helps a lot of people who have no other Avenue to express themselves

Hey @Pebble67 ,
I was actually a member on SANE forums before I became a Peer Worker. These forums have been a God-send to me. It has played such a crucial role in my recovery. So much so, that I became a peer support worker.
So I totally agree with you that these forums have helped so many people - including you and I!

Hi @Pebble67 Sorry to hear you are still sitting with these feelings. Is there anything that has helped you in the past?
When I have these low periods I usually just have to sit with the feelings until they pass but exercise and lots of water usually help move things along. Are you able to do some light exercise?
Hopefully your GP is able to help the situation. In the meantime, we are here with you and SANE Support Services are always there if you want to talk it out with someone.
Take care,
Paperdaisy 💝

Hello there,
Good days bad days, this the way anxiety is, yesterday was ok, today not so good. But I’m still rolling along as best I can..have a supportive family, in don’t like to burden them with my issues all the time..the sun is shining and I’ve been for a nice walk on the beach, so that’s a plus, oh saw a black snake on beach track, that sure made me jump.
