Re: The Beer Garden
Hi @Former-Member. I've sort of received a 'back-handed' apology. He sort of admitted he believed me, but didn't actually say 'sorry'. I guess men on the whole can't apologize. It's not in their vocabulary My son and daughter aren't speaking, we are going to have a 'family conference' over the weekend to straighten everything out. My bf has invited my son to keep in touch, should he desire. Doubt he will, my son is too busy. My son did inform my bf that my daughter is something of a drama queen (which she can be). My daughter phoned last night and sort of admitted she got it wrong - not good enough this time. Not too sure how I'm going to deal with it.

Hi @Former-Member
After a horrible morning, I ended up walking to work. I decided to get out there, get some fresh air and walk. It took me about 20 mins to walk to work. Work was busy which kept me focussed.
Saw my GP last night, high BP again. Confused head with negative thoughts. Have to call him tomorrow at his clinic to tell him how I am feeling without my meds.
How is your morning so far?

Re: The Beer Garden
❤ I'm glad u walked to work..nice plan! I find walking releases pent up emotions for me & helps reduce anxiety. High BP..tricky stuff, I'm.more the opposite to you. Are you trialling no med approach? If you feel it's a better path for you, I appraise you..I took myself off..it was negative for me. Take it slowly, withdrawal can be havoc ridden.. Big hugs... I am pretty well, but you know I was just listening to Peter Gabriel's orchestral version of David Bowies 'Heroes'...I'd made a flip a gram clip with my boys last year whilst they were at there dad's, this song in background. I had chronic anxiety..they are my heroes. I had been thinking about the topic of shame yesterday It comes up for me...we can wear shame in so many ways. So hmm I feel great, but I'll be mindful I feel the lurking under tow.. All good though. Coffee? ☕❤😊
