Morning all, Monday again!
I think I’m ok from a mental health perspective today. Feeling pressure from my assignment deadline this Friday (I’ve extended it 3 times!). Also unsettled from feelings around trying to find somewhere to go this coming weekend for my 20th wedding anniversary that I won’t bore you all with here, but lots of disappointment and guilt which is having the effect of not feeling much like interacting with people, but my anxiety is actually ok as I write this.
How are you feeling today? x |

Not too bad so far. Did my first yoga session in a loooong time and feel much better than I have done for a while. Hoping to keep it up daily and start an exercise regime again to shift a bit of weight and tone up. Also been offered a contract to do a bit of writing regularly so I’m looking forward to that too.

woke before the birds today, and did a reiki self-healing and meditation, followed by a contrast shower. Feeling a lot better than last week. |

Morning lou 
Good luck with completing your assignment and congratulations on your 20th wedding anniversary 
I'm in a good place again now the weather has eased, feel able to enjoy my life rather than constantly wishing the day away, hoping that tomorrow will be more temperate.
It's a busy social month, so I am looking forward to reconnecting with old friends and making new ones |

The fact I just posted that without my reply says lots about my frame of mind this morning!
That all sounds really positive! I’m pleased that things are going well for you x |

Thank you!
I’m glad the weather is suiting you better! Have to admit to not being a huge fan of the heat myself - not that we had too much up this way!
A social month sounds fun! Hope it all goes to plan x |

Actually feeling good! Had a really positive therapy session today, last weeks had me struggling for the rest of the day. had a full week of ditching the cakes/crisps/chocolate, don’t even fancy it!  I’m hoping whatever ‘clicked’ a week ago stays put. I’m quite enjoying this feeling good malarkey. I hope everyone else has some better days coming up, such a good post so people can talk and share x |

Aww, that was a lovely read! I have therapy too, the positive sessions have been few and far between for me but always feel amazing! I hope that all stays for you too x |

I feel good today, in an awfully strange good mood which probably won’t last as I’m feeling pretty reckless lol…but it is my birthday in a couple of weeks so maybe that’s contributing to it |

"I started off good.
As the day has gone on and I've felt more unwell I'm feeling not myself.
I hope the antibiotics I'm getting tomorrow help me feel better."
Hope you’re feeling better very soon x |

"Stressed, on the edge of burnout. Awaiting MH assessment.
That sounds really tough, I’m sorry to hear that. I hope you don’t have to wait too long for some support x"
It'll be about 7 weeks before I get seen. I've been through the process a few times now. I have good support in the meantime. |

No matter how bad your day is remember it is better that being down a sewer unblocking a fatburg and getting splash back in your face,, unless that is your job, in which case, sorry I have no inspirational words of help  . I’m in a good place just now, walking that tight rope between being productively busy but just about keeping the right side of not being overwhelmed. Keep well you wonderful people  |

Hey, I’m not doing to good atm, I’m failing to build any connections with people.
I think it’s time to seek professional help just wondered how I would go about it?
Is it offered by the nhs or do you have to go private? |

Hey, I’m sorry to hear that 
It depends what kind of help you feel you need. If it’s medication then see your GP. If it’s therapy you think you need then you can still see your GP but there will be a waiting list to start and you won’t have a choice of who you see or what type of therapy. If you’re able to afford to pay for private therapy then you won’t have to wait as long and you’ll have the choice of type of therapy and who you see (you can find out more about types of therapy and search for a local therapist on the BACP website - British Association of Counsellors and Psychotherapists x |

"I'm feeling much better today.
Got antibiotics, which has made me relax and stop stressing.
I tell myself there's a solution to every problem; even on days where I think I can't take any more.

I’m glad you’re feeling better, onwards and upwards |
