Hello, back in mental health maze again

Hello, back in mental health maze again

Hi, new here

not new to mental health conditions; 1st anxiety episodes were aged 9 /10 [& was born in 1960s so its a fair while] Many many anxiety/depression episodes since then. Came here via ARCVIC [anxiety] website

Current problem has been hanging around for 18 months now; post medical trauma anxiety which started 6 mths after a sudden heart attack [rushed to hospital & life - saving operation]

Anxiety is mostly in mornings; my best move is to get up straight away [yeh, even if it's 5am] & exercise but this doesn't always work [like when you're sure it will work, it probably won't.] *its subtle

I feel I'm on the verge of having to take an extended break off work [I'm in education & cant predict what I'll be like any morning.]

regards, Schmanny

Wow @schmanxious !. That's hectic. I hope you felt fulfilled in your role. Certainly a tough gig!

Hi there @tyme @schmanxious

I'm replying to both of you here as I've had a pretty rough day so not really up to being insightful or sharing right now.

Schmanxious, I'm no longer working but can certainly empathise with your current plight.

Thyme, I would love to share my many experiences in the realm of education.

Apologies to you both but my psyche is complex and challenging this evening.

I hope to pull together soon.

Love and thanks, Taali

Is otday better for you @Taali ?

I know it was hard yesterday.

Helllo there @schmanxious - how are things?

Re: Hello, back in mental health maze again

hey @tyme

So so kind of you to think of me 😇 you're an absolute treasure.

Today has been much better than yesterday.

I actually helped get things sorted for my sister which fills my heart with joy.

Accomplished a couple of other things at home too. So feeling a little smug.

Thank you so very much for caring 💗

@schmanxious I am also thinking of you. Sending positive vibes to you both.

Taali 💙

Love "otday"
Was that deliberate?
COOL!

Re: Hello, back in mental health maze again

I love thinking of my forums family @Taali

It's good to feel connected.

I'm glad today has been better than yesterday. Yesterday sounded so hard.

getting things done always helps one to feel a bit better. I like to say, "I feel accomplished" - hence I love writing lists - so I feel I've achieved stuff!

In response to: Re: Hello, back in mental health maze again

Re: Hello, back in mental health maze again

@tyme

Loving "I' feel accomplished"

I'm a list writer too.

LOVE ticking things off.

You ve good to you and please feel cared for.

You too @schmanxious !

Taali 💙
