Hi there, I'm new here and just firstly want to introduce myself. I'm a regular Jo really.. Well, maybe with a few kooky features. But I'm 37, live at the beach in a small 2 bedroom unit. I love animals and to sing. I also suffer from schizoaffective disorder depressive symptoms, panic disorder and slightly agoraphobic.

I'm on here because i kinda feeling like I'm fighting a constant uphill battle and despite all the effort and energy I put into my recovery, I can't seem to make any improvement.

I do try to keep positive and hopeful.

Is there any suggestions on how to keep pushing yourself when you feel like giving up? Also does anyone else feel like this?

Thanks very much for reading

Hi Again thank you for your Reply WOW Im Glad to have helped your very welcome! I hope that you continue to find ways to improove,I find that music is basically my therapy thank you for mentioning about using your voice to express yourself,I used to be told that my voice sounded operatic which was a surprise to me lol,I enjoy all different kinds of music and to me I listen to music that I can relate to at that particular time,I kind of dont go by who the singer is although I have lots of favourite singers/Musicians to me its about how much I relate to the words of whover is singing soyes its a wonderfull outlet to express your voice ,In terms of where Im at at the moment I have needed to have a bit of a chilled out day today also been trying alot over the last week or so to be more optimistic and to have positive thoughts about different areas of my life Ive kept waking up each morning with positive thoughts each morning and I guess Ive tried to be a bit more can do attitutide when negative stuff comes up,sort of been powering through to just get stuff done,today Ive become a bit insecure about how good I am at communication with family even though Ive been pushing myself to stay positive,strange how sometimes its the small stuff that can trip us up,Im definitately an overthinker lol
