    I do try to say positive stuff but sometimes it's hard . Thanks so much @Lou67. 🙏.  My son has been upsetting me and that affects my mental health . For a couple of days I've taken anti anxiety meds just to get me through.  Starting a new one today . I'm just hoping they help as good as the ones I've had before.  Sending loads of hugs . Take care of yourself 🙏

    My reason for not being around much is probably down to my mental health and I dont like to bother people about it . I have recently been to see a mental health worker and I do have another appointment soon but I probably don't post much because I dont want to burden any of the members here . So I hope 🙏 you can excuse my absences from time to time but I just don't want to burden anyone.  Thank you for your understanding 🙏.  Take care of yourselves.

    How are you feeling about your appointment at the moment @Strawberry1? You are never burdening us by talking to us about what is happening for you.

    However, you only need to share as much or as little as you feel comfortable with. Please don't feel pressured to share more with us than what you are comfy with.

    If there is anything we can do to help, even if that is just listening, please don't hesitate to let us know  :)

    @Strawberry1 Sorry to hear you have been struggling with your mental health. I am in a similar situation, however have improved with cbt sessions. I have been diagnosed with bipolar 2, adhd and traits of eupd. I am commenting to let you know, in my cbt sessions we work through booklets which are online. I can send you a link if you are interested. It obviously won’t be as good as actually receiving cbt, but could be a good start and something you could do yourself. Let me know if you want the link and I’ll post it on here. Wish you all the best :smile:
