Re: not coping

I do a load or two every day too @outlander just to stay on top of it.

Not much planned for today. My anxiety is stopping me from a lot. I really need to go to the supermarket but don't want to leave the house.

Re: not coping

do you ever do online shopping @Snowie would that make it easier for you on the days your brain doesnt want to cooperate? ive found getting grocery shopping delivered has been a big help to me its taken out so much anxiety about spending so much time in the shops

Re: not coping

I have done online shopping before @outlander and can easily do it again. All I need is really milk and bread and can't even get out to buy them.

Hey @Snowie

I see you're really struggling with your anxiety today and I wanted to let you know that you're not alone, and that I'm here to chat if you wanted to.

Was there anything specific that might have triggered this anxiety?

Sending you hugs, and hoping you can get to the grocery store tomorrow instead.

@outlander ❤️

Re: not coping

Thanks @amber22

I don't think any one thing triggered it, it is more a mixture of things. I will get H to call in and get what we need.

How are you going?

Re: not coping

That's okay @Snowie Some days are like that, try be kind to yourself today ❤️

I'm going okay today thank you, glad that it's friday!

Do you have much planned for the weekend?

Re: not coping

Haven't got much planned for this weekend @amber22 . Meant to go out to tea with friends on Saturday night.

Will have to put my big girl pants on.

I just seem to be getting so angry and upset with myself. I know what I need to do to help myself but my brain is resisting the help.

Re: not coping

That will be nice to see your friends, see how you are feeling tomorrow @Snowie

I'm sorry that you're feeling really angry and upset at yourself. It's completely normal to have those days where you don't feel good at all, but please try and be kind to yourself and your mind.

Sometimes I find that putting on the tv in the background can help to drown out my loud thoughts. Is there something you could do that might do the same?

Sitting with you

Re: not coping

I've got the tv on in the background @amber22 I don't like complete silence. Even when going to sleep I have the tv on in the background.

They aren't really my friends. They are my husbands friends and their partners. I don't socialise with them and find the 'small talk' hard.

My thoughts are spiraling downwards. I wrote in my journal exactly what I am thinking to give to my psych next session. I don't think I could say it out loud. I'm safe.
