    Hi Sandy I hope you and the grandkids slept well I will catch up with you later.

    @ osrbsj
    Hi I’m sorry your struggling coming down from the morphine, I know how tough it can be I also reduced after my knee replacement I reduced from 5 to 2 throughout the day but had to go back up one so I’m stable on 3 during the day now and I get slow release morning and night.
    Stay strong you’ll get there.

    Sorry my tagging didn’t work there.

    ❤️

    Oh blimey @osrbsj that can't be fun at all, morphine withdrawal isn't fun. But at least you're doing things slowly.

    How're you today @Schildpad ?

    So so @Albus_Scope . Thanks for caring. I am rather anxious and not sure what to do. Future is very scary. Scared about the system moving me to universal credit. But would love to be able to work on something from home or something similar. At the same time I won't think I could do it . Overall I live with anxiety twenty for seven because I can't stop worrying... Painwise depends. Good ok days. And depression is not good either. I only hope one day all will turn into a better situation but I doubt it.

    The unknown can be a very scary thing @Schildpad I'm sorry it's all getting to you. But just remember you only hear about peoples bad experiences, hardly ever the good ones, so you'll be ok. 😊

    Hi everyone

    @osrbsj I hope you aren't too bad withdrawing for morphine .At least you are doing it properly with medical support.

    I got a letter to get bloods done in November so maybe I'm going to get some help about my meds too. I'm looking at it as a positive.

    Hope the glasses ease headaches @Lou67 and that your mum gets well soon.

    @Schildpad we will beat the anxiety and low mood together. It's helps me to know I'm not the only one. I've decided to journal again and ask for counselling from the place that helped me last year.

    @Marydoll5 . Thanks. Happy to see counselling works for some people. In my case. It did not. I will See my psychologist in December so will see what is her plan. But been for so long sick. I struggle to believe I will get out of this situation. Reading the papers etc does not help.. reading about the new budget. The system is really making me feel worse.

    So hard not to watch last year did same to me mental health to the floor and being on this group really made me see that the news is our enemy not all but certain ones used to make my hearth jump out my chest so totally understand

    I'm really glad the community has been so helpful for you @osrbsj that's amazing to hear and we love the feedback. ❤️

    Sorry to hear that @Schildpad I found therapy took months before they found something that worked for me.

    But I agree getting bombarded by various news outlets can get very draining and really make the mental health worse, so I try and avoid anywhere other than reputable news sources and only focus on actual news, not maybes or guesses.

    @Albus_Scope I am not sure will talk in December with her. But I feel I am not wanted and not sure if it is real or in my head. I am going to a centre on Wednesdays. But I felt totally unwanted. And for me is harder to know if it is in my head or is my imagination. On Monday will see the same organizers so will see how they behave. Problem is with anxiety need to take into account that is probably my imagination but all seems too real. So the feeling of being unwanted is even worse for my mental health.

    It's time to go to bed soon and I hope I will feel better tomorrow and the rest of the week..
