Me myself and Anixety

There is no "I" in struggle

Me myself and Anixety

Hey everyone I hope you’re well and feeling good. I hope you had an amazing weekend and the weather hasn’t put you in a slump, or has been nice from, what ever part of the world your reading this from.

Today I’m going to talk about this picture I got sent It on Thursday.

My Anxiety has stopped me from doing things I like doing recently, like last week i didn’t go to the group on Thursday evening I volunteer for, because small or big crowds of people are setting me off into a panic attack, and I go down that wobbley road.

I’ve also had an appointment this week with a mental health professional, that m not really keen on, to talk about my psychosis gradually sneaking it’s way back in.

I think I’m worried about this appointment as I don’t think I’ll be taken seriously like I should be. long story short, my partner saw the same person, and she was completely useless, in my opinion, and my partners.

But on the plus side, I have had some positive news this week, which has helped me get put off that anxiety battle.

Also, my parka coat I wear is like a security blanket to me, but I’m going out without it some days, and this makes me feel good, as I would wear it on the hottest of days in the UK, as I didn’t feel safe with out it on.

So as I look back I can say, I’m proud I’m gaining small wins. So this, and the support from my partner and others I feel like I’m winning.

So keep fighting, you’ve got this. Those small steps should be taken as a victory, weather it’s a small one or big one.

Thank you for reading I wish you all a good week.

    Hi John.
    Thanks for sharing.
    I was at the walk yesterday and I found it overwhelming, I haven’t really worked out why but I was feeling very anxious for a lot of it which has upset me because the walk is normally the ones think that keeps me feeling better.

      Hey Charlie, thank you for taking the time to read and comment on my blog.

      I’m sorry you found the walk hard yesterday but you’ve got to give yourself a pat on the back for realising how you felt.

      I hope you don’t let this you beat you up, you struggle take a small victory in that you know you struggle and see if that help turns yesterday in to a positive for yourself
