Monday Mental Health Check-in 06.05
Jump to: Newest in thread
We’ve add it through the long weekend! How does Monday find you?
I’m doing ok, quite jittery this morning but it didn’t interfere with my sleep and I’m not feeling too anxious about the sensations so far! Working to a deadline on a tough assignment for uni so that’s probably not helping, also my hormones have been running wild all weekend. I’m just trying to be kind to myself in the midst of it all. CBT again Wednesday after a three week break again, I think I’ve done ok with my homework - I haven’t Googled any symptoms and I’ve managed to only take my propanalol twice (on the same day) so coped quite well on the whole.
How are you all feeling today? Feel free to check in as briefly or as lengthily (is that even a word or did I make it up?!) as you feel you want to.
Sending love to all as ever  x |

Good luck with assignment OP
Quiet end to the week recovering from hospital stay and awaiting more tests
Trying not to worry too much about them as little I can do
Grateful for any reason that helps me battle dark thoughts but need a reason for me rather than for others |

Good morning lou
I am glad you are doing well on your cbt homework and good luck for Wednesday 
Things are pretty awesome right now, I'm in a process of big positive change and very focused on what I need in life, which reaps its own benefits 
I won't leave it so long to do a reset kick up the bum next time

Thank you x
Sorry to hear about the tests, the unknown is often scary, especially when it comes to health. And you’re right, always best to have a reason for yourself. Sending love x |

After eight days of having the house full of grandchildren and an extra dog I’m feeling super tired and not sure how to cope with the quiet. I think I need a project to work on. Retirement brought me time to discover that I can build things from wood, maybe a sand pit and a water play table will keep me going for now.
I’ve been weaning myself off sertraline over the last couple of months and am just dropping below the ‘50mg every other day’ dosage by taking one every three days. |

Aww, I can see how the sudden quiet could feel a bit disconcerting! Those project ideas sound good, I bet the grandchildren would love them
I hope the weaning off the meds is going ok, I know it can sometimes be tricky. Sending love and positive thoughts |

Been a real bad month, had a lot of crap from on here so took a break, health issues are doing my head in, work is a major headache and got to go to court about my accident now |

Really sorry to hear that, that all sounds a lot to deal with. Crap from here is definitely something you can choose not to put up with, I’m glad you decided to take a break and I hope it’s all faded away now.
Sending love x |

Thanks for that. Really appreciate it.
I’m pretty done with the meds, they served a need at a difficult time and had it not been for the whole global pandemic thing I’d have been off them before I think.
Hope all is well with you |

Meh.
Worked all weekend.
Had little to no time off recently either.
I am working everyday until Monday, have a couple of days off and then back to another project for the foreseeable.
I'm far from burnt out but I need to see my daughter, to sit on my own sofa, to think about something other than how much I'm working.
Could be worser |

Crap anxiety is high it feels like i have something in my throat making it a bit hard to breathe.
And I keep zoning out, also small panic attacks, terrible mood all because I missed a days meds amazing how much an impact one dose can have |

I think it’s good to accept that sometimes there absolutely is a place for meds  |

Sorry to hear you’re so busy, it’s good that you can recognise what you need to recharge - I hope you get the chance to do that very soon x |

That sounds really tough, I’m sorry you’re going through that, anxiety sucks. The throat thing is called globus sensation, I know it can be really unpleasant 
Hope you can get back on track with your meds and are feeling better soon. Sending love x |

Difficult week both passed and ahead. Lots of issues in all facets of life to tackle, which feel a little overwhelming. Need to talk more and plan better, neither are my natural qualities but it’s time to try
Good luck everyone |

Thank you for this thread as always x
I had another strange week with random challenges being thrown my way and I’ve been unwell with a stomach bug which really knocked me for several days. However still made it to work for all my shifts and managed to have a meal out with friends and have a meet for great sex so I’m claiming a win!
Mentally in quite a good place
Sending good vibes to all who would like them x |

I think for me definitely, demystifying these things can help to cope with them better x |

Yep, it's a good thing she's a professional procrastinator or I would have been screwed  |
