Hello everyone,
Just looking to see how people manage days where anxiety or ocd traits feel too much or overwhelming? As things start to ease with the lockdown I've been trying to adjust as I no longer need to shield. Though when I do go out - atm I need someone with me as I just feel too panicky to handle walks on my own.
I'm trying to be more confident as I've lost a lot over the last few years but the self doubt can kick in and try to pull me down so i feel mentally and physically exhausted. I am doing CBT atm and I feel as the more I do it the more aware I am of irrational and unhelpful thoughts and how to acknowledge your mood.
I feel like the self doubt/ negative chatter affects my confidence and belief in myself at times.
I am due back to work next week - which I really want as I want some normality back. Just wondered I will panic too much or make it more overwhelming to cope with.
