Re: Self Harm
Hey @Angels333
Just wanted to say that today I have been pretty low since I got to work actually. I know how you feel. I think this whole epidemic coupled with MH and also the burdens I take on each day whether it is in my own life or the knowledge of other things that are happening in the lives of those close to me is taking its toll.

Re: Self Harm
Hey, @MDT hang in there. It is depressing and I feel for you going to work. My job really unravelles me and now that the pool is closed and I'm not teaching I was doing better but now the anxiety is even worse. It's terrible I'm dreading going back....

Re: Self Harm
yeah work was doing that to me today. One of my bosses just decided not to come in anymore due to covid19..... It was almost like it was an excuse.
Anyway. People are weird aren't they?

I hope you got the things done that you wanted to do today Hon and that your next appointment is not far away - it sounds like you need it to talk a few things through.
Try to put work out of you head for now - easier said than done I know but it sounds like it is a large part of your anxiety increasing again but for now you don't have to go so enjoy the down time and do things you enjoy around the home

Thanks for all your advice. I received a message from a friend asking me to go for a walk tomorrow morning. I think it's allowed if it's just the two of us. I know she is checking up on me because she has helped me on and off over the last 15years. Visiting me in hospital. I am glad to see her tomorrow even though I have so much anxiety that I'm trembling thinking about it

Re: Self Harm
I think that is awesome @Angels333 Get out - get soe fresh air and exercise and enjoy the company of your friend. It is hard enough to connect with people in the present climate so being able to do that tomorrow is important.

Hey @MDT @Zoe7 @Appleblossom @Faith-and-Hope @eth @Molliex
I went for the walk with my friend this morning but I didn't tell her how I have been feeling. I feel sort of embarrassed, like I am a burden. So I didn't want to share how I have so much anxiety and then there's some depression kicking in. But tomorrow I have asked Son 1 to drive Son 2 to work for me so I can attend DBT in the afternoon. I have missed the last 2 weeks in a row.
I didn't phone my psychiatrist but I will see his secretary tomorrow whilst I am at the hospital hopefully he has an earlier appointment.
I'm so tired I'm falling asleep
Love to you all
