I had a really bad day today.

I had a really bad day today.

I can’t go into it too online but I just wanted to get it off my chest.

Feeling so down, helpless and like I’m not living the life I’m actually supposed to be.

There is no short term solution and I’m going to have to go through the full process to get to the end. It’s not viable to me and the thought of spending the next 4/5/6 months going through it is horrible

Can anyone give me a hand hold? Tea? Flowers? Make sympathetic noises?

Sorry to hear that. Is there someone is RL you can talk it through with?

Best wishes

Tea and flowers, OP, it’s cheesey but true that tough time don’t last but tough people do!

You've got this, OP! Maybe tomorrow will be better

Is it possible to have something to look forward to after 6 months is up? Maybe a holiday or short break.

It’s complicated (legal) so the people I have to talk to in real life don’t really understand, and it’s more exhausting having to explain it than it is therapeutic to them.

I won’t be able to afford a holiday (or anything!) after this, sadly, but something to look forward to would have been lovely

Tomorrow will be a better day, I’m sure x

Thinking of you ride it out, things will get better eventually

One day you will look back on this and marvel at your own resilience. You'll be so proud of yourself!

Try the little things - bubble bath, nice bar of chocolate, a funny film and a good stretch in bed. Books can take your mind off things really well. I have terrible anxiety and those are the things which help me xxx

Tomorrow is another day.

I’m having a bad day too op and a hand hold!

According to Uber facts, today is national have a bad day day, if that makes you feel any better :-)

I agree with those lovely little things above.
Headspace is a fantastic app, it’s a bit of time for me every day.

Be kind to yourself

There are two things GUARANTEED to make you feel better every single day, whatever else is going on.

Exercise outside
Making something with your hands.

Whatever crap life is throwing at you these two small, simple things will help you detach and refocus.

I do hope life gets better for you soon xxxx

Thanks everyone

I was up all night with anxiety and haven’t manahed to eat anything but today is already a better day

You'd be better eating something, even a bit of toast & jam, everyone feels worse when their blood sugars are low.

Oh you poor thing... I am going through shit and don’t know what to do either. Suspect it’s different life stuff, but the effects sound similar. 💐☕️💐

I’ve booked myself a doctors appointment to talk about my anxiety and dug my vape out.

A few small wins today- lovely coffee with some friends at their house. I spoke to someone who is working on my situation and was told they now fully ‘get’ the extent of what I’ve been trying to articulate so glad they ‘get’ me properly now.

I’m still talking with a horrible anxious wobble in my voice which is awful for me as I’m worried my children will pick up on it

Tomorrow is yet another day
