Feel like a failure taking my meds

[PiperIsOrange]

I know it will take time, but I feel like a total failure that I can't be happy without resorting to taking tablets.

Due to no motivation on looking after myself, including not eating and not sleeping ect, DH makes sure I take my meds every day or I would forget.

Work went ok, glad to be home now.

In a bit of pain with my knee, but other than that feel okish.

Bloody anxiety tonight, wish my mind would switch off

Morning Piper. I hope you got some sleep. How is your anxiety this morning?

Managed a few hours. Feeling ok this morning.

Oh well off to work I go

I hope work was ok.
Do you know the Stopp technique to help with anxiety?

No I don't, if you link the information I would be very greatfull

This is the technique. The getselfhelp site has lots of useful bits to work through.

Thank you very much MrsMinton [ thanks]

This is the helicopter view that can help get anxiety into perspective. It isn't a magic wand but it can try and help the unhelpful thoughts.

My pleasure. It is getting easier with practise for me, I hope it helps a bit.
