I'm cracking myself up 😅

Does anyone else NOT know what to do when you actually aren't stressed? Like...I'm actually at peace here lately & I've been feeling more secure.

I'm not complaining at all but my brain is so backwards because when I'm not at all freaking out about something, it's like I don't know what to do with myself. 😅

Isn't it a great feeling of peace. I wish it could be like that all the time.

Back at the start of my journey through treatment, my biggest resistance was because I did not know who to be without the anxiety, depression, stress…. Yes, when I find myself content, I don’t know what to do with myself.

That sounds perfect to me, nothing to do, nowhere to go, on a summer day relaxing in a hammock with a cool drink and a book.

Bliss.

Cheers, Midori

I know exactly what you are saying and it almost seems like you don't know this person (you)😂 I've suffered with mental health issues since the age of 4 but obviously back then didn't realise that's what I was feeling! I'm now 64 and have as I say blagged my way through life. Panic attacks anxiety depression have always been with me but since giving up work through ill health I seem to have some calmer times mentally until I go out doing my weekly shop or have an appt somewhere then I start to panic and get anxious again which then in turn makes me depressed. Stupidly enough though the calmer times I have I seem to not recognise myself and question who I am. Wish I didn't feel that way. Writing this I seem to not be making sense somehow so I'm sorry if it comes across that way 😂

Don't worry, I know what you mean. I was like that for many years, until one day I said to myself 'Why are you doing this to yourself?

I managed to stop by telling the voice in my head that was always negative to take a hike, and that I'm in Charge , thank you! 🤣

It really helped me.

Cheers, Midori

When I have moments of peace I get silly. I dance around the house singing as loud as I can. Sometimes the dog jumps on me or starts barking. I just stay in that moment as long as I can.

Sounds like a “good” problem to have! Enjoy it. If it was me, I’d be thinking…how do I keep this going! Did you do or try something recently that led to the peaceful state? Please share

Im always stressed out . The only time when I ahvent been is on holidays overseas when you dont have to think about anything else other than enjoying yourself

I have only just started to feel a little bit better. But the other day I too , found myself at a lose end. The day had been so productive already. So I have hobbies. Listening to music , playing music. Reading. Readying with headphones on at the same time. I have the capacity to do two things at once, whilst choosing to focus on one.During lock down , I chose to teach my self how to read music. I had to abandon it half through lock down through stress. But the world is open again. So I joined a play together session. I have decided to come about reading music a different way , by learning scales and saying the notes out loud.

What I am saying is be inventive. The menu for personal joy, pleasure , and achievement. Is vast.

Find a new way to express yourself.
