    I have so much going on, i don't even know how I'm coping anymore to be honest I'm so beyond the point of even starting to get better, I'm just fed up and feel so unwanted and exhausted of everything going on in my life. nothing gets better it just gets worse.

    I feel weird today. Really low but also very distracted and like my brain is busy. Ugh I don't know.

    @independent_ That sounds quite overwhelming, have you been able to do anything comforting or safe for yourself?
  • independent_independent_ Community Champion Posts: 8,610 Legendary Poster
    @Brookee I’m watching lingo just now which requires brain activity so gives me something else to focus on..met my friend’s puppy today which was nice but I just feel like the world is against me right now and distraction only goes so far. Ah well, I’ll be alright I always have to be.

    @independent_ - I am sorry to hear you felt weird yesterday. Some days are just strange. I am really glad to hear you managed to be distracted. What type of puppy does your friend have?

    @Zay That sounds really difficult, I know it can be hard to cope when you have regular appointments. I wonder if you would feel comfortable talking through this with your GP, if it's easier, you can write down what you've been through, like you have here, and take it to them so you don't miss out anything you want to tell them. It's very frustrating that the strike is affecting your ability to see someone who helps you.

    @Zay It's completely your choice though love, you take as much time as you need. It sounds like a really difficult situation to be dealing with. I'd also just like to add that even if your current GP doesn't understand, you are more than within your rights to ask for a different GP to speak to at your doctors. You deserve to be listened to and supported in a way that meets your needs!

    Hey @Zay

    I am sorry to hear your support keeps getting cancelled. Obviously not ideal when you need the support! Have you managed to talk to your GP or anyone else yet? I just want to check in with you to make sure you are okay because we all care about you and are hoping you are okay <3

    Hi @Zay

    Thanks for your response. I am glad you are okay. Sorry to hear you feel tired though. I hope your psychologist is able to do a zoom meeting instead as it sounds like that may help you today :3

    Every time I put my phone away and try to go to sleep I get really anxious for some reason I have no idea why, so am just scrolling through TikTok to calm myself down need to go to sleep though said I’d have an early night
    The steps you take don’t need to be big, they just need to take you in the right direction.

    Hey @Dandelion

    Thanks for reaching out to us. I always appreciate how much courage it must take to reach out. Would you feel less anxious if you were able to put your phone on mute or mute the notifications? or set a timer for yourself for when you must put your phone away? or having some relaxing sounds on in the background when you put your phone away? Obviously it is difficult to say how to help as you aren't sure which particular part is making you feel anxious. I am just throwing out some potential suggestions just in case they help. Of course, I am sending you hugs too! :3
