Far and Away

Hi @Former-Member .... 😊

Thanks @Faith-and-Hope, how's your adventure going? Is there a particular thread your putting updates? Jetlag takes about a week to settle I'm told, and I'm sure there's son Celtic wisdom to get over your post viral fatigue How's WH coping with his obcessive routines while travelling? A challenge I would think 😕 Hope this is a time yo rekindle some first love maybe.
Any good churches to visit there? Did you go this morning? Love ancient architecture and history. Churches are great for it. Hugz xox

Hadn't thought to start a new thread ....

In transit again today and have to go again now .... found a brief moment with wifi .... will catch you later and answer the above.

Hi to everyone else .... 👋🏽💗💕

Re: Far and Away

Maybe calling a helpline to talk through what is going on would be a good idea @oceangirl

Re: Far and Away

It’s okay @oceangirl . I have been a bit like that today. I tend to play piano music to distract myself, or look things up online, like cats doing funny things. You would prefer dogs, I am guessing.

It helps to find something that splits your attention from the thoughts, so they can’t take up all your brain space.

Re: Far and Away

Sorry to hear you have been struggling too @Faith-and-Hope . I struggle to really distract myself- its not easy. My anxiety gets to a point where everything seems impossible. Its so uncomfortable to be in this space and you think you're the only one that has ever felt like this. I have an appointment with my specialist next week so I have to hang in until then. I would think about hospital but thats not possible with Milo because he needs me, and Kira too. I can't leave those two.

I do like cats, I just don't own one- my staffy would be too much for a cat. I grew up with one cat when I was quite small and another one when I was a teenager. Both were black & white - and full of personality.

I did get out today and did a few self care activities. And the gardener did the lawns and spraying and got the car detailed. But it still has not reduced my anxiety.

Re: Far and Away

I've never called a helpline before and its not something I am comfortable doing. I have support and I can always phone one of my specialist if need be @Zoe7
