Oscillation between two mind sets

Are you okay? @creative_writer

Here's a virtual HUG.

Have you tried hugging yourself? The pressure may help.

Another alternative is the progressive muscle relaxation where you tense your muscle and then release. This can have a similar effect to a hug @creative_writer The pressure and the tight feeling.

Give it a go!

I'm hopping offline now, but I'll chat another day. Please take care.

Sorry Hon - had a difficult afternoon 😢 I do hear you on the pain though and know how hard that is. I think going to a different GP to get another opinion is a wise move @creative_writer Hopefully someone else can help you a bit more Hon.

It might be worth asking your GP if there is anyone they know that specialise in complex health. I was sent to a specialist GP several years ago when my GP was not sure what was going on. He was great - took him no time to work it out and I was able to be treated straight away. Took some time to improve but just to have some answers was amazing @creative_writer

I actually slept most of today. Finally got myself outside this afternoon and have been out most of the late afternoon until now. Have to have a shower though as I have been sitting in dirt pulling up weeds lol

That is an amazing outlook @creative_writer I let those people rule my life for so long too. The day I finally said enough was a massive break through for me. That does not mean there are times that I don't slip back but I can pull myself out quicker and move on again much better. I can honestly say I would change the past if I could but I can also say I am who I am because of my past - and being able to use those experiences and knowledge in working with other people is priceless. You have so much ahead of you and if you can use your own experiences to empathise with people then you are already half way there.
