You can hold on until your appointment tomorrow @Eden1919. Find Dog and/or Bunny and hold them close - feel their heart beat against you and concentrate on breathing with them. I have faith in you - you can do this buddy - strength, courage, belief ![]()

Hi @Zoe7 how are you? I am trying really hard but i feel different than usual i dont know how to say it but i just feel like this sense of urgency around this issue i am seeing someone tomorrow and the day after but i dont know how to hold on anymore it is like all the things that were holding me in place have just slipped away and i am floating towards it.

Distract, distract, distract @Eden1919 You need to do things that will shift your focus from how you are feeling right now to things that over-ride those feelings. I do know this is easier said than done - so what can you do that will help to shift your focus - a walk, music, drawing - maybe some pastel art work?

If watching tv isn't taking your mind off things @Eden1919 then try listening to your favourite music - feel the beat and concentrate solely on breathing with it. You can do this buddy. Don't think about your appointment tomorrow - today is about getting through each minute and each hour - minute by minute, hour by hour ![]()

Close your eyes (if you can) @Eden1919 and try the music. I will be around for a bit longer before my GP appointment.
