Hey everyone! This is a support space for @L-B .
@L-B , would you like to kick off by giving a bit of an intro here about yourself for those who haven't read your previous posts?

For me, from experience, exposure therapy (going slow and increasing bit by bit), and breathing through the experience each time.
When things are anxiety-provoking, I can feel myself remembering to take deeper breaths and slow down my breathing.
It took me a long time to know how to do this. @Oaktree @L-B

Hi @L-B @tyme
How are you guys going.
I am suffering from a bit of anxiety this week. Trying to push through.
Tomorrow I am taking hubby to the zoo.

Hey @Oaktree ,
Sorry to hear about the anxiety. Do you feel it's something you can work through?
Zoo? Lovely!

Hi @tyme , I am disheartened by my job. I look for other work and cannot see anything suitable. It's hard to find a job that ticks at least several boxes. I feel undervalued where I am.

Awww @L-B .;
Maybe this is not the right job for you then? What do you think?
If you don't mind me asking, what field of work is it?
In response to: Re: Support for L-B

I don't know if it's the right job for me. I had high hopes of it @tyme ...the fields I've broadly worked in include the arts and health. I will keep looking for other opportunities for now.

Look, you've given it a really good go @L-B . We can't fault you on that.
Maybe it is a good idea to keep your eye out for other opportunities 🙂
