not feeling good

Things are feeling so overwhelming and difficult right now @BlueBay It's important to remember that you don't need to have all the answers (even if at times it feels that way). You're doing the right thing to call your doctor. One step at a time. We've sent you an email with some counselling support options if you'd like some more one on one support for now. Take care of yourself today 🐼

You need to stay active/busy @BlueBay so you don't have time to let those negative thoughts continue to creep in. What can you do this afternoon to keep active?

My daughter is at my house so I’ll go home now and see her eith Ayla. I just phoned my doctor and the nurse answered. I broke down and told her everything. Finances are bad sh snd overwhelming feeling nit coping. She said to go home and see if my daughter is free fir catchup. And she or my doctor will call me soon.

Pleased you called them and told the nurse everything @BlueBay They can only help if you tellmthem the truth Hon.

Also pleased your daughter is at your place - some daughter and Ayla time sounds just what you need

@Zoe7 My daughter has gone now. I’ve trued the CAT team but no answer so I left a msg. The nurse called back at 3 to see how I was. She said my doctor will call me back when he finishes at 6pm.

I feel my brain snd mind can’t handle all this stress worry sbd overwhelming feeling of how bad things are.

I feel sick just thinking about my life.

I can’t stop crying. All I do at the moment. I feel so horrible hate myself. I wish I was somewhere else.

What is the weather like there today @BlueBay - can you take yourself out for a quick walk - to get some fresh air and a little exercise?

I can’t @Zoe7 the air is very cold. Wouldn’t be good fir my asthma.

Ive just cooked dinner. Tuna casserole. Hubby isn’t home till 6.30 tonight from work. And boys at work.

I just feel I’m losing the enjoyment of life losing the plot. When I struggle so much I csnt see the positive. All I see is a huge home if problems that I can’t fix. My mind is in overdrive and can’t cope. I need to go somewhere where it’s quiet and peaceful where I can just sit.

Thats nit going to happen anytime soon. 😥

You are home alone right now so can you sit quietly there for a little while - put on some soothing music and just be in the moment - maybe sit near a window and concentrate on looking out the window at one point in the garden - try to focus on one spot ...see the colours, the shapes, what is growing, how the breeze is moving things.....

@BlueBay

Try to stay in the moment using your senses @BlueBay.

Smell the tuna casserole.

Taste it when you go to eat it.

Taste the veggies or salad you serve with it.

Notice how hot or cold they are.

Losten and see if you can hear a clock ticking, or a door opening and closing, someone running a tap .....

These are ways to get out of your head for a little while ..... mindfulness ..... and if you stop and practice it when you are feeling really stressed, it lowers the stress symptoms in your body a little, and gives it a rest.
