    Cheers! Yeah, it’s a first date. So I’m hoping the workout and breakfast have done their job and I can make a decent impression. We’ll see how it goes!

    Sadly having a very poor time of it, my mental health has not been this poor for such a long time. My fight or flight has taken over where I want to run away, then on the other side I don’t have any fight left in me at the moment. Just feeling run down, exhausted, ashamed, angry and overall despondent. As things stand the two trips out I have in October and November are off as I don't feel confident or comfortable in pushing myself at the present time. I am going into a month where it is 3 years since my ex-wife left me and my world fell apart, then in December it is Christmas another painful time of the year for me. I am seriously contemplating staying behind closed doors and blinds, unless it is a medical appointment. My mind is in a dark place and I am just numb and do not feel anything.

    I have to admit that my Mental Health is really poor of late 😔 it has been like this for quite awhile. Coming up in October it will be 3 years since my ex walked away from our marriage. I guess trauma has followed me around since early childhood. Christmas is also coming up which is a hard time for me due to not having any relationship with my family. My fight or flight has really been engaged which is horrible to deal with. I don’t have any friends either which makes offloading very hard to say the least. I am just left with having to bottle things up and lock them away in a box in my mind. I may have a two-year wait for psychological therapy with the CMHT. Add that I am on a one year waiting list to get an issue with my neck looked at alongside waiting for an operation to remove a broken wisdom tooth. I honestly don’t see the wood for the trees with everything that I have ongoing, I am still contemplating about whether to attend the Ultimate Classic Rock Show in October and Deep Purple in November. I honestly feel very fragile at the moment, I am keeping myself safe by mainly staying inside behind closed blinds watching tv. I am also if I am feeling tired and really low, I will either stay in bed or go back to bed. Just trying to take things one minute at a time.

    Good morning everyone. The last day of September. Chill day for me. I'm going to cook my first meal in the slow cooker today. Minced Beef Steak with Potatoes, peas and Mushrooms. Hopefully it will be ready to eat around 5pm. Have a nice day everyone and take care.

    Afternoon all, busy day at the old mill.

    Had someone come to check the kitchen for Asbestos, before two kitchen fitters came to measure up for a new kitchen. Feeling calmer today which is a relief, I managed to clean the kitchen and put the rubbish out.
    I have received a letter from my local CMHT for an appointment to assess my needs 🤨 hopefully this is for psychology as I am desperate for it and have been fighting tooth and nail for it.

    Hope everyone is ok and has a good day 😊

    Good afternoon all!

    Sounds like you've had a busy day @Rag_793! Are you looking forward to have a new kitchen? Really good to hear you're feeling calmer too😊 Fingers crossed that letter will be for psychology, have you got long to wait for the appointment?

    How are you finding your slow cooker @Johnboy412000? It sounds like a very warm and cosy dinner, I hope you enjoy it!

    Happy October! Still feels like summer here to be honest. We've had some really hot weather the past few days!

    That sounds delicious @Johnboy412000! Do you get a pudding too?

    Oh bless you @Amberpearl. I have a condition that causes similar symptoms and it's just horrible, really takes it out of you. Have you had these attacks before? It's probably a good idea to chat to your GP about it so they can get you properly checked out.
