I thought it was a good title to start a discussion with other members. I am feeling really irriratable of late. I am worried my depression is on its way back. I have to look at ways at managing and expressing my feelings. Its so hard to get the words out and to express what is happening for me.

@oceangirl 
Is there any coping strategies you could draw upon to help distract from this anxious feeling? Something as simple as taking a long hot shower or putting on yur favourite music can help sometimes.
Sitting with you xx

I’m sorry @oceangirl I didn’t reply to you last night. I was struggling myself a bit and ended up falling asleep on the couch. I hope you managed to get a good night sleep.
How are you this morning?
❤️BB

All good @BlueBay. I seems to be sleeping a bit better the last few days but I get tired in the afternoon. My morning was better today and looking forward to my trip to Nth Qld in a few weeks.
