Hey M! :) I'm not bad thanks. I had two really crappy days. I was on a high with work and the counselling course and golden roses.... then caught the BBC news which downright shocked and appalled me. The contradictory advice also boggled my brain and I felt dread and sadness about the prospective su...

Hey! How are you doing? :) How's the shoulder? Has the Pilates become a little easier? Just do what you can, if you want to. Any news on the meds? I'm sure your care co was not being flippant. Perhaps he was reassuring you by reminding you of how far you've come away from turning to those unhelpful ...

Hi M! :D Ohhh, I'm so sorry to hear that you are struggling. *Big Hugs* How has your week been? Is your shoulder any better? Has your sleeping improved? You don't have to disclose the cause unless you want to, but perhaps think about what caused the anxiety. Address the root of the issue. In jobs pr...

I'm due to start a new job this week. Lots of positives about it. No negatives other than my insecurities. But my deep rooted insecurities have resurfaced. Fear of rejection, humiliation and exclusion. Fear of my insecurities around my personality, appearance, performance and identity being confirme...

Hiya! :D Okay! Take two. This time I'll be sure to save the message before I send it. How are you doing? How is your shoulder? Nice to see some real positives shining through in your post - gardening, tea trips, sunshine, afternoon tea and nice walks. Did work always cause you an overwhelming sense ...

Just wrote a lovely long message to you.... only for it not to send! Now I've lost the whole thing!
D'oh!

Just letting you know I am thinking of you. I hope you are keeping well and that your shoulder is easing. I will write again soon. Big hugs!

Hiya M! :D Sorry I've been so pants at replying! How are you doing? Anymore (supervised ;) ) gardening and Sunday tea visits with your parents? We've certainly been very fortunate with the glorious weather for this. Did you get onto the wallpaper stripping? I hope you've been finding some enjoyable ...

Hiya! Quite right. Should I hear anything, I will keep you posted of course. :) Re. work, keep focusing on the small day to day achievements. It doesn't matter how small or basic they may sound. "Some" value is still value, after all. Remember that you are doing the best you can in the sit...

Hiya M, How are you doing? :) I'm waiting on further correspondence with regards to the job. Obviously, it wouldn't be right by me, my prospective colleagues and the clients we cared for should I start a job with minimal training and no experience at this precarious time when the services are stretc...

Hey, You sound like you really need a big hug. *hugs* I'm so sorry to hear about your dear grandma. I hope you and your family are as okay as you can be during this sad time. May she rest in peace. Could you reschedule your appointment with the psychiatrist? I'm sorry to hear that the situation with...
