All welcome. No judgement and kindness all around x

Oh no, I’m sorry. That sounds really annoying - are you at the station now?

The taxi journey is one step of the process ticked off at least

I should've checked last night, it's my own fault. I haven't used the ipod in a while. I'm on the train. It's got busier

@fara20 hope it goes well today!

So happy it's back to the work week. I know that sounds weird but the structure stops me spiralling and takes my mind off of the breakup.

It's been over a week now since we last talked. And I'm still sad. But so grateful to have work to distract me.

Good luck today @fara20. Turning up is half the battle! Hopefully you can treat yourself to something nice once you're done.

Just found out a colleague has got engaged too and that's sent me spiralling. My ex and I were on the cusp of that. It all feels so unfair.

@JamSandle thanks. I'm on the train back now. It's packed and awful

I'm not coping well this evening. Feeling scared about everything.

Hi all, hope everyone is OK.
Today I was offered the contract from the interview on Monday.

That's brilliant Fara, congratulations! You did much better than you thought!

Thank you @JamSandle. I'm not able to take it in. But I wanted to let you know because I'm so grateful for how you've encouraged me and propped me up.
How are you doing?

Well done @fara20!! That is amazing news and makes all that travelling worth it

I'm so glad to hear all went well. That has put a smile on my face.

I'm not doing very good. I'm still missing my ex. I feel desperate and in such pain. I'm actually having some suicidal ideation (passive). I just don't know how to get through this.

I've been crying on and off all day and then feeling numb. I just want to put my arms around him, breathe him in and build a life together.

@robinshields thank you so much. You really helped me on the trip talking with me.

I'm glad it put a smile on your face.
I'm so sorry for what you're going through. It's so difficult. Sending you hugs.

I have been on fluxotine for just over 3weeks and my god how it has saved my life I was bad Im bed crying heart palpitations shaking I just wanted to die my anxiety was threw the roof for 2weeks then suddenly starting feeling better I was on 20mg then went up to 30

@GoldPoet Glad to hear you're feeling better. When did you go up to 30mg?

3weeks ago xx

I'm at work today for a change of scene. Everyone here has a boyfriend, fiance, husband or kids. And I've just lost the love of my life. I'm crying in the toilets and just want to go home.

Oh I see. How long were you on the 20mg? I'm on 20 and wondering if I should go to 30.

@JamSandle Do you usually work from home?

Hi all, it’s been a while since my last post. I hope everyone’s doing ok. I needed some time out as I had an unexpected health issue arise which hugely escalated my anxiety levels. It’s now been partly resolved but has highlighted something else, so I’m yet again in this trap of uncertainty.
Ive recently began another course of cbt which is going ok but I do find it very exhausting; and I struggle to be honest with the therapist about how I feel.
thanks to all those that gave me support when I initially posted especially @jk24 @kielyflower @snowfoxglove sorry if I’ve forgotten anyone.
on a positive note I have had some really nice days in the last few months, and I’ve had a really lovely holiday which did me the world of good. x

Hey @Takemeback2thestart jk24 here new user name. I'm sorry you've had some health issues. Always here for a handhold.

@JamSandle hang in there! You're young. I'm a true believer of everything happens for a reason. Hope you're a little better tonight.

Glad others are doing well!

We had a family bereavement yesterday and I've not slept for over 30 hours so my anxiety all round is bad atm. Going to get some sleep. Sending solidarity ladies x

Hi @Helplessandheartbroke thanks fo much for thinking of me hon. It means a lot. I am so sorry you are dealing with family bereavement. I hope you managed to get good rest. I do feel a bit off when I don't get sleep. Have you been eating healthy? They say good food, good mood.

I've been a bit better, pushing through life with an occasional migraine or a burnout. I try to spend time outdoors. How have you been? Thank you for being here lovely xx

@Takemeback2thestart Hey thank you for checking in, I am glad you remember some of us and that you had a nice holiday which did you good. It's always a bit of progress and then getting pushed back, I learned, but this is why we must keep on. It's normal to have peaks and valleys.

Sending handholds to everyone on this thread. It helped/helps me a lot. Sometimes it's nice to chat with people who just get it isn't it

@snowfoxglove hey! You've been missed! Glad you're doing ok. Thank you I'm doing alright. Had a good sleep last night x

Hope everyone has a good day x
