Something’s not right

I can't give the full details of the situation but I'm worried about something that probably hasn't happened but I won't know until my mum texts me back. It's really stressing me out and I'm having trouble getting my mind off it.

Hi @TheVorticon 🙂
Sitting with you 💛 Thank you for sharing with us. I respect your boundary you've placed.
It sounds like a stressful time you're having. I hate waiting for news, it makes me very uneasy and anxious.

Here to chat x

Hey @TheVorticon ,

I also wanted to jump in to see if you are okay. If you feel you need to, you can also email us on team@saneforums.org

You are not alone.

Can you think of something nice you can do for yourself?

Thanks @fluffylight and @tyme.
My dad called and I spoke to him and mum. The situation is all resolved now which is good.
While I was waiting I managed to do the rest of the dishes that I'd stopped halfway through.

Re: worried

@TheVorticon I know how you feel and understand the anxiety it causes. Having recently had issues with my mental health which resulted in a lot of distorted and unhealthy thoughts I can honestly say it isn't fun at all.

One of my friends suggested listening to music that is peaceful and has no lyrics, because sometimes the songs with words can in fact add to the stress we are dealing with. Another friend suggested doing puzzles like sudoku or word finders. They challenge the mind and keep it busy so that you are no longer thinking about what is causing your anxiety.

Hopefully they can be of assistance to you!

I'm glad to hear @TheVorticon . It sounds like it was a stressful waiting game eh? I'm glad to hear that it is resolved and you were able to busy yourself with the dishes.

Are you okay?

It makes me think - life is one WEIRD situation altogether! @TheVorticon I'm glad to hear you are okay.
