"I'm doing well thanks everyone. I've climbed out of my pit much quicker than I thought given how paralysed I've been. I'm stronger than I give myself credit for. Had and given lots of support which has helped a lot. Realistic about what's ahead to the extent that I know. Exercise is helping, focusing on achievements. I'm getting my libido back which means the worst of the mental health shite is done for me." Aw happy to hear it swing and you know im always here for you xx | |||

Like I'm positive most of the time and I try to be. A lot of my loved ones are frontline NHS and that makes me worry and a bit stressed. I feel guilty for not being constantly happy (we're financially and job secure) but at the same time I am anxious and sometimes things hit me hard right now. | |||

No issues. I'm wired differently and can be nonchalant with regards to most things. | |||
thanks for asking | |||
"In the middle of a bad time with anxiety. Was diagnosed just before all this and was managing triggers quite well, but all bets have been off since lockdown. " This is a giant trigger. It's so normal. It's not easy, but we're all in this together. | |||

"Glad to hear you are doing okay lovely. I'm fine, good and bad days but my sleep pattern is a bit buggered up. I wake in early hrs of the morning and can't get off again. Maybe a little anxiety creeping in and worry? " Yeah, my sleep is still stuffed too. I think that's normal | |||

"In a word... wank. And not the relieving de-stressing kind. My head is all over the place and I can't really see the light at the end of the tunnel regarding a huge part of my life. I know I'm being a crap mate at the minute as I'm struggling to open messages that are being sent, it's almost like I can write here about it just leave it there. If I actually talk about stuff to other people one to one it makes it all the more real if that makes sense. I need to delve then and that comes with realisations and a slice of salt into the wounds. Yesterday I could have wandered off into oblivion. Today I'm just happy to be having a roast dinner. I had so many plans of self improvement to crack on with during lockdown, yet I can barely muster getting out of bed. I dunno, it's like I've had a slap round the head telling me I've been living in cloud cuckoo land for the last god knows how long and I need to face reality. Problem is, everyone has different versions of reality, different scopes and different morals and agendas. P" Big, big hugs x | |||

"I know a couple of people who’s got issues in their lives at the moment. These are being made much worse by the present crisis. " I bet. | |||

"Working front line NHS it’s tough. Seen a lot of upsetting things the last few weeks. I’m normally resilient but I’m a bit off I have to say. But we will keep fighting " Big hugs. And thank you. | |||

Someone very special to me is also ill.. they tell me they think it is only a cold (so i don't worrry?) so i have everything crossed. But I'm so freaking worried.. However, one day at a time
A huge thank you to everyone who reaches out privately on these threads, so lovely to feel the support + care from so many people and a huge thanks OP for these threads x
I did something really positive today - signed up to volunteer as a phone 'friend' - can't wait to do something meaningful and purposeful.. And it's nice to have a bit of control in my life again.
