Re: not coping

definently not rude @Captain24 its nice to meet you!
im sorry youve had a stressful day too. would you like to talk about it? do you have a thread i could visit?

I think ive just set my anxiety off getting some things ready for a big medical appointment coming up in a few weeks. the appointment is in another state so ill be away for a few days whilst i attend that. trying to distract myself by checking out some of the local favourite resturants and local places.

Re: not coping

It’s ok @outlander I am rude. Lol. This is the only place I’d just pop in though. My outside life I just hide away.

All good just a dark day.

Would you be able to use some time before the appointment to have a little break away?

Re: not coping

Well it’s understandable to be anxious about the unknown @outlander

You could look at it as “medical tourism” you know how people go overseas for cosmetic surgery and stay in fancy hotels…you could plan a mini holiday at the same time. It sounds good to look for restaurants and attractions you could visit.

I really hope this has a good outcome for you. 💜💙💜

Re: not coping

Hi @Eve7 hope you are well and your cols and flu like symptoms are ok.

A day and a bit will hopefully give you time to unwind from the app @outlander and do something enjoyable for yourself.

Is there something you can do to relax tonight after getting stuff sorted

Re: not coping

there is alot of dread @Jynx one of my medical conditions is a rare one and hard to manage as well as live with and ive exhausted pretty much all the options within my state so im hoping one thats just over the border may have some more ideas.

i dont really have a favourite cuisine as long as its not seafood and matches along side my allergy friendly eating.
