There is support out there
But you need to know where to look, who to talk to and be proactive in asking for it. I am not depressed so I am able to at the moment contact people asking for support, to be signposted on if it's not the right people in the beginning. I have met up with a few friends who told me of support in my local area, who to…

The Feelings post
I am pretty rubbish at describing how I feel. I am either okay, fine, or I am not. Or, I simply don't feel or think and it's an empty space. Today I felt unsettled. I am going to allow myself to feel that. Take note of where it sits, what it does. It was an anxiety feeling in my stomach. It's transient, meaning it will…

Every second post is an advert, not from your friends but a clickbait to someones ticktock/ or advert that I'm REALLY not…

Panic Attacks
It's rare for me not to be up at the crack of dawn but I've had panic attacks for the last 16 hours. I phoned Samaritans because I have no friends or family to talk to. I waited 10 minutes to speak with a volunteer. I think she was out of her depth and wanted to get me off the phone. My anxiety this morning is just vile.

Hi, I would like to ask if I am given a painkiller that is harmful to me and the hospital doctor says that it is not good for me. I tell the GP the long list of side effects, specifically I ask for psychological help to quit and I ask for a change of medicine. I get promises from the GP for everything and all promises…

Significant change in circumstances

I havent migrated onto UC so the move (when it happens) will trigger that off. My question at this time (as I am not digesting what's…

My Pain Ruins Christmas
I will try my best to be happy at Christmas but my pain just ruins it for everyone. I don't feel comfortable in other people homes and I either feel tired because of medication or I just want to lay down with my back pain. So I told everyone I am staying at home this Christmas and it's not going down well.
