I can’t cope

I’m panicking. I can’t pull myself together.

Hey @Captain24 ,

Sorry to hear of the anxiety.

Would any guided meditation/mindfulness exercises be helpful at this time?

Perhaps you can find one on youtube or the Smiling mind app?

Sounds so tough at the moment.

It’s hard. @tyme. On top of what happened at work, mum gave me grief too.

It’s triggered my anxiety badly.

I can’t meditate. It’s something I’ve never been able to do. I have listened to honest meditation though and it’s better but didn’t help today.

I’ve been trying to do diamond art but I’m struggling with the tremors from anxiety,

Ive taken a few prn hoping it helps.

I don’t know if I can do it again tonight

Would you consider calling 000 if it gets too bad @Captain24 ?

I'm sorry you have to go through this.

I agree with meditation....it's not very helpful for me either. Just a suggestion though. I find the Smiling Mind difficult, but helpful.

It sounds like there's a lot going on for you and you are doing your best to stay afloat.

Is this something you can speak to your CM about tomorrow?

No @tyme

Im glad you didn’t see me not meditating as a rejection of help.

I don’t know if I can.

I have to work the next 2 days but my CM will just say everyone is like it at the moment. I think she just wants to get rid of me and doesn’t listen. Because I had a heap of appointments and couldn’t fit her in last week, she said it sounds

like I have a life. No the fact that I’m so f’ed up that I have to see so many people.

Sorry. It’s not recovery orientated

Thinking back to my own recovery, when my MH was at its worst, it was the appointments that kept me alive. Because I'm a person that keeps to my word, having appointments meant I had to stay alive.

Let me tell you, if someone is well, they don't make and go to all these appointments for the 'fun' of it. They have their place.

No judgement. @Captain24

You do what you need to.

At this stage I have nothing Wednesday. 2 appointments Thursday plus nans husbands birthday. Then a work event Friday. @tyme. None of that is for me or for fun. The following week I work

Monday - Thursday and Friday have to take Jett 2 hrs away for a vet appointment. All I get free is next weekend.

Hospitals going to be a god send. I can stop. I don’t have to go to appointments. I’m just called in whenever they want me. I can just take a break. Walk to the beach. Enjoy the salt air. Watch the sunrise. Just for me.

Actually the work event should be ok. The lady that is speaking was the one that had us do the VIA survey.

I keep to my word too. Sometimes that gets me into trouble, I may try to do something that I’m not able to do.

Appointments do keep me accountable. I will not miss one. I’ve had to cancel one appointment in the last 2 years and that was because it was my admission date into hospital the first time.

Can I do this? Can I get through?

Thank you for sharing. It is very encouraging.

I hear you have all these thoughts going through your mind, and it's absolutely reasonable.

I can see why hospital would be a 'break'. @Captain24

I'm sure people can relate to that.

Can you get through? I believe you can. But we all know it has to come from you.

I believe in you 🙂

Morning @Captain24

Wishing you a good day today 💗💗

Hi @Snowie
