Hi all I would just like to share something a lady at the mental health group did with us if I may because I think it will apply to everyone on here.

She stood in front of us all holding a picture frame and said she would like to share with us a picture of someone she knows. This person is important, beautiful, and stronger than you can ever imagine and we should look at it every morning.

The picture well it was a mirror say no more and yes it applies to you all.

that this is my life and I will not allow Anxiety or Doubt to stop me.

Hi🙋‍♀️& good afternoon to you oldandbald. I see how the mirror technique works but for a few people like myself, the mere idea of looking in the mirror fills me with anxiety. So ridiculous, but true. Since being one of the Sheilding Group for virtually 15-16 months and not venturing out, I'm going to now left with just a shell of the person i think i used to be. So mirrors are a no no but I'm working on it and I'll definitely get there. 🐿🌈😷

Hi I fully understand that side of it as well there are times I look in the mirror and hate what I see.
