Hi all,

Well it's the last day of my holiday... It's deffinitly had its ups and downs...

I did another walk this morning... It was good apart from I thought I was having a heart attack half way up the mountain!! I wasn't though thank god!!

I'm feeling really odd this afternoon... Not with it atall...

I feel all spaced out, dizzy, a bit

sick and a bit miserable...

I keep saying it will get better when I go home but it won't and I just don't know what I'm waiting for :(

I just don't see the point anymore... My anxiety is ruining my life.. When I feel symptom free I am fearing when the symptoms will start again :(

I can't see the light at the moment and I'm not sure sugar to do :(

Where have you been on hols? It looks a lovely area ... Just seen your previous post about doing 8 miles - brilliant stuff - you did so well!

Keep that in mind. Could you set yourself any little targets for when you get back home? Something like "I will go out each day and walk for at least 40 minutes", or something like that... Something realistically do-able that will keep up the sense of achieving something each day.

Hey blorengina, thank you...

I've been in the Lake District... I think walking is something I need to focus on as it actually makes me feel well... My other half said my diet and the lack of exercise isn't making me feel any better so I'm going to try and eat a bit better and do more walking :) x

Hi fedup :-)

I am pleased you have given us warning to pack , I was wondering when we were due back :-/

I no this anxiety is getting to you & I do no how it feels , but we are not going to quit !

You have done so well on this holiday , even going on it is more than I could do & yes it has had its ups & downs but when you are suffering with anxiety it will & the ups have out weighed the downs from what I have been reading , you might not have felt that because you are in the moment , but I can read what you have been saying & tell you it has !

You still have your counselling to come , I believe this will help you & these negative thoughts which are causing your anxiety will slowly get more positive

You are doing really well , please if you dont believe that believe us when we tell you :-)

Did you get chance to wear those lovely new hugg boots & scarve while you have been away :-/

Try & enjoy this evening , maybe even write a list not on what you think you could have done better or didnt do , but all the positive things you did achieve this week , seeing it written down might help you to see just what you have achieved :-)

Love

Thanks Whywhy.... What would I do without your positive words!!

My oh just had a massive go at me... I have to remember that I walked nearly 9 miles yesterday, if there was something wrong this wouldn't have been possible...

I'm going out for a meal tonight, I'm not great eating out but at least when my dizziness hits I can say it's my anxiety... That's one thing I've got way better at actually... Saying right this is anxiety causing this, nothing else :)

I'm proud to say I recognise that... Well I'm getting better, I still have my spells where I'm like ah I'm going to die this time but I am having my spells where I'm like ah it's just the anxiety take a deep breath and try and get on...

I am looking forward to going home but I feel like I need something to aim for... I think my wedding next year is really playing on my mind!!

I hope your feeling better xx

So glad that you had a good walk. I walk every morning before work for about 30- 40 minutes and I love it. Gets me in a good mood and I am not anxious at all. I was when I started but not now.

You really must recognise what you have achieved on this holiday and be encouraged by that. I don't think we do that well at all.We tend to dwell on what we didn't do!!!! Bad, bad, bad. I think we all have days which are worse than others... I had a couple this week but have survived. We are very strong people surviving the way we do.

So to you, a huge pat on the back. Keep on walking.and enjoy your success. Love Julie xx
