I lost my old thread. Here's a new one.

Depression is a bit better. I think the tablets are working. Anxiety is still bad but I can cope with it. I can't have meds for that because I am asthmatic.

I self harmed at the weekend but I will get over it and move on. I don't do it much and will focus on the times I resist//don't have the urge to do it.

I am seeing a therapist tomorrow.

Later this week i am going to a singing group . I am terrified (very nervous about everything at the moment) but looking forward to it. I think singing could be therapeutic.

Thanks again to everyone who has supported me.

Well done, you sound really focused and positive.

Yes you had a dip but you have felt with it and are moving forward and taking the right steps. Be proud of yourself.

Singing was incredibly therapeutic for me. I was amazed that they let me into the choir though, I was so nervous when I went for the audition that I could barely get a note out! Good luck with the therapist.

Thank you Smile

I am starting to be proud of myself.

Apparently I am in recovery now but it will be slow. He liked the idea of singing and wants me to report back on it. I am going next week now instead. The singing workshops are held at three different locations and the one near the beginning of the week is a bit easier for me to get to.

I don't have to audition to join the group thank God. I don't have a bad voice but it would be too much at the moment. Lasting if you sing well enough to be accepted for a place even when you're feeling nervous you must have a good voice.

I am getting bad symptoms of anxiety but am managing it as best I can and can see an improvement.
