How is your day going?

Goodnight all

I went to get my nails done today but I felt really unwell in the salon

I got so hot and felt like I was going to faint so I had to ask the girl to stop.

I have had several such episodes over the years and I think it is caused by extreme anxiety.

I think I may have to look into getting a mobile person and a hair dresser to come to my home as my phobias are getting so much worse.

Sorry to hear that so overwhelming isn't it I get hairdresser to come to my house at first awful but she's so good I explained my body dismorphia as I can only look in hand held mirror sounds like definitely anxiety how did you feel when you got home

I keep my eyes closed when I get my hair cut and just have a quick peep when the hairdresser asks "Is that enough off your fringe"?

Morning Everyone, i managed to wake up for my alarm, I went to bed 4am got 5hrs sleep which is good for me. Hope you all have a good Friday. 🙂

@luvpink I know what you mean, I was watching question time last night and it was brought up about people are just lazy and people who have mental health problems should suck it up, like they did in the old days. I was shouting at the TV, fortunately most of the panel was more empathetic and pointed out that many working age people with Neurodivergent', disabilities want to work but they don't get the right support to find work. I'm currently in this situation with my youngest son, who wants to either do an apprenticeship or get a job, one that he can do with his Neurodivergent's, he was sent a link from his G.P which offers support for people in his situation, I tried to access it but none of the dates were available. He has helped himself to try and get an apprenticeship, he has been offered one interview after sending lot's of applications himself, nearly all of them don't even reply. You then have to hope that if you do get a job or apprenticeship they are aware of Neurodivergents and disabilities and are empathetic to your needs. I feel like we are all treated with the same brush. I worked as a wages supervisor, my mental health deteriorated at times, I could not take the time off my G.P wanted me to take off, when I ended up in hospital I said it was because I had bad food poisoning, I didn't think I was safe to tell them the truth. Now I don't shy away from being honest, if they don't understand that's their problems not mine. We have to keep on fighting, I feel I do more now than when I was in full time work, filling out forms for myself and my two sons, calls, interviews, endless hospital appointment's. I have to write notes in a book just so I can remember what I need to do. There's so much at times I become anxious and just want to shut it all out, I feel like I can't cope. If some of these people lived in our shoes they would think differently.
