Sticking together
As the Government debates over where to grasp back these 'Billions' to try and level out the Economy and leaving us all worrying about what this means for us.Tensions,emotions and opinions about politics are running high.We may disagree with each other entirely on our what we think or feel about a situation, a person or an outcome.But we must stick together and focus ( I think anyway) on remaining civil to each other and supportive.Sending love x

Great comment @Jane315STARX and I agree 😊

My dog is all the support I need!
Seriously, I totally agree with you. Try not to put yourself through the wringer, not until we get some details on any upcoming review.

Very wise words @Jane315STARX! I'm with you on that!!

Nothing official will be announced until Spring, anything between now and then is just going to be opinion, rumour and speculation.
Perhaps wait until the Spring and official announcements, and not read anything until then.

Is there nobody you can talk to? It's all very well me saying wait until we have something concrete, but logic can only take us so far with regards to anxiety.
Please try not to overthink this, and definitely stay away from The Daily Mail, Express, GB News etc.

I've been commenting about the reforms to death and it hasn't been doing my mental health any good. I will concentrate on a hobby to take my mind off it. It's the fear of the unknown that is putting me on edge.
Try not to click on any benefit related articles and don't watch any videos.

Very well said, Nightcity. Non dom billionaires and their media platforms are a curse, quite frankly.

@Catherine21 I think it is extremely hard to deal with along with everything else we have to deal with.I feel like I'm jekyll and Hyde right now as in I'm totally depressed one minute and the next able to make logical comments.Just before I spoke to the therapist yesterday on the phone I was totally stressed out which led to me almost hyperventilating.He had to calm me down but ud got myself into such a state ( which I often do) but verbalising it actually made me almost pass out.But I think what we need to do now as extremely anxious people is focus on what helps.What doesn't help is reading every snippet of negativity.We are always all here for each other which is a great help x.

Cameron and Osborne were very irresponsible with their 'strikers v skivers' rhetoric in the coalition days, and things have got worse.

My son likes me to play games for hours on end with him and he's discovered online scrabble which we play together.You could perhaps play this also? As it matches you up against online players if this is something you might be interested or perhaps something simular to focus away from news.Its really quite enjoyable

Despite the lack of attention from certain tv news outlets, the middle east and Sudan occupied alot of my thoughts the last wee while. The list is long; Myanmar, Ukraine, Venezuela, North Korea to name but a few.
In the end, although it is important to know of these things, it isn't healthy to dwell on them. I now know when to step away.

@Ranald yes sometimes it is very easy to become overwhelmed with things we have no power over.Although we may intense interest or concern it affects our wellbeing so recognising it is an extremely healthy step

YouTube as well. The more videos you watch about benefits, the algorithm picks this up and pushes more videos on your homepage and you end up going down a destructive rabbit hole.
The less you engage with those videos, the less you see on your homepage. Hopefully you won't see any at all, unless you actively search for them.

I love true crime programs and also these programs where they delve into body behaviour how it can give us away I.e guilty mannerisms ( my brain is not finding the right words tonight but I'm hoping you know what I mean)

I tend to watch Frenchie videos and history videos.

It's amazing how much you can learn from these programs about body language.I remember seeing clips of a man who had killed someone and they identified subtle body language clues that gave his lies away.Even within speech too a liar can be identified it's fascinating
