Hey @Iris_Mizzy I completely get the feeling of wanting to sleep till it becomes the next day and then just sleep and sleep and sleep your life away but something that helped me a lot is to focus on my goals in life (no matter how big or small) and try to put things into perspective. An example is that I love writing and in lockdown I began writing a book. I was going through a lot but I used finished the book as a motivating factor and a goal for me to work towards. Even if it's something much more distant and far away remember that you're only 16 (or at least I think u said u were? if not then i'm sorry lol I have a shitty memory) and you have a long and amazing future ahead of you. Like with my book I finished writing, I still have to edit it and I want to publish it one day too and no matter how unachievable that may feel to me I try to remind myself 'hey one day i'm gonna do it and i'm gonna get out of bed every morning knowing i have something to work towards even if i do nothing to do with it today, i'm one day closer'. I know how difficult it is to try to see things in a brighter light when all you feel is hopeless so I know it's so much easier said than done but it's just something to keep in mind to try to give you some sense of direction. I hope this makes sense and I'm here if u wanna talk more!

@Iris_Mizzy music is a brilliant distraction - it is incredible what it can do. What sort of music do you like in particular?

Former Member

Hey @IainJammyboy, i normally listen to sad slow music. The sort of music that will put u to sleep and you can cry to.
Wbu any song sugestions?

@Iris_Mizzy I've got a good couple - they are classical music though, I'm a bit of a nerd lol. I think these pieces are absolutely beautiful - I got lots more if you wanted. Barber adagio for strings, and Chopin prelude in E minor

Heya @Iris_Mizzy just checking in on u to c how u have been? Im sure ur glad to get the interview over with and well done for completing it sending hugs to u

Former Member

hey @ebyrne556 , Im scared and this stress is overpowering me, I'm worried about my blood pressure its really high and has been really high for about two days now, last nights one was 145/104 thats really high and dangerous, Its supposed to be under 120/80. The nurses and doctors keep checking it but it just gets higher or stays the same. My hands keeps shaking randomly on and off, i get this twitch in my eye where my hands start to shake first then my eyes start moving rapidly and my face starts to move im not sure how to explain it,My eating has gone down a lot i dont eat breakfast normally i do, lunch im doing okayish with that but it might go down more, dinner i dont eat anythin, you do get pudding with it but i dont eat it. i woud just have a few bites then thats it.
Ive been diagnosed with depression anxiety disorder and ptsd, and ive been getting this tightness in the chest then i struggling to breath, i searcedh it up and PIP came up its all connected with the other diagnosis, so its scaring me about if i have pip or not. ( personal independence payment pip.
Im very glad i got the interview over done with it was exhausting.
hope your doing okay, sending hugs back

@Iris_Mizzy
Thank you for being so open about your experience. It's amazing you made a to do list and don't worry too much if you take your time to do the things you wrote down, just trying to get to a state of mind where you can find things that you want to do and look forward to is enough.
I'm sorry you've been dealing with physical as well as mental symptoms, and that you've been feeling worried about PIP. Would you like to talk about this a little bit more?
I'm glad the interview went well.
Let us know how you've been doing

Former Member

Im not sure if i have pip because i do get a tight chest and i struggle to breath so im not sure im a bit confused.

PIP is a non means tested benefit you can apply for , it’s not a diagnosis for something.

Tight chest and breathlessness could be a variety of things , it could be something as simple as anxiety but if your really worried about if you could visit your doctor

Former Member
