Over whelming anxiety and sadness today

I'm in a posting mood tonight and just found this little vid. It's a story of.....friendship? ......resilience? It's an animal video.

Now I'm actually laughing out loud @wellwellwellnez! Very cute.

It's been a bad day for a few of us today @DeSpence, and probably more who are keeping a low profile. You've got the right idea with distracting thoughts and actions, and posting on here. I hope others will be along soon. I loved @wellwellwellnez's video. It made me laugh and just a few hours earlier I had been feeling so very low. It's amazing how we can lift ourselves out of low places when others care. I hope you are feeling better soon. I send best wishes for a much better day tomorrow.

Hello new friend

I can relate to what you are saying here. I feel like this most days so you are not alone my friend. I also try to occupy my mind with positive things to think of and try to occupy myself so I don't just sit and think and I over think a lot of things in my mixed up brain. I have to admit though most days I just feel like sitting around watching TV or I'm on my computer. I'm slowly getting back into my writing as I'm a poet of sensual poetry. Some days I don't want to be seen either. I am isolated from society so I rarely go out unless it's to see my psychiatrist or doctor. I don't drive and I don't use public transport as I have a balance issue so it's not safe for me to go out alone. You made me laugh when you mentioned cleaning out the cat box because I too have to do that. Try playing some music when you are feeling down and when feeling anxious write your feelings down in a journal. I do this and it helps me and of course I sip on a cuppa as I do this. I hope you start to feel better soon and try to be positive...yeah I know...it's easier said than done when you are in a dark time lol. Take care and stay safe

Happiness to you

Sincerely Angel-anne

Hello @Twistee. Just looked in to see if there was anything new to respond to and I found your post.

I have found these pages difficult to navigate too, but I think you may like to make your own post and tell us a little of how you are feeling and what's troubling you at this time.

On the Sane opening page, scroll down a little and you will see a heading 'Join the Discussion'. Click on that and scroll down the page to 'New Discussion' and make your own post so that any others who feel they have a response to offer will do so.

That's the way I make my own personal post. Perhaps there is a better way to access. Perhaps you could advise @moderator?

I hope today is better for you @Twistee. Sending best wishes.
