Just One day I’d like to wake up and feel great like I used to before, mornings don’t seem to be my thing now. Not sure how long I slept maybe 6 Hrs which is ok but not my

Norm, but still get the nausea and gag a few times, I still think maybe it’s anticipation of the day and what I’m going to do I’m not sure 😐 Arms feel weak at the top and a little shaky. That’s the problem of waking up alone in the house no one to talk to first thing for distraction. I spent too much time indoors yesterday and i didn’t like it at all, I just can’t do that again today... so when I’ve got myself together I’ve got to think of something/somewhere to go if I can. It’s not easy is it? ☹️

Sorry to hear you are feeling bad this morning... Put a radio on, might make you feel less alone.

Are you going to see you your daughter this weekend?

Thinking of you xx

Hi.

Mornings seem too be my worse time too. I wake feeling anxious most of the time..I have no motivation so each time I do something it’s forced but once I do it the bad feelings subside, not always completely but enough to do something ..

I tend to go to coffee shops ..just listening to people around me helps, I have my iPad with me to come in here while I am there if I feel I need. In fact I’m in a little coffee shop now as I type this..

I’m off to a drop in at lunch time I’m trying out..

I hope you think of something you can do that you will be comfortable with. I guess depends what is in your area and how far you can go.

Good wishes x

Yes I do know what you mean, I mornings aren’t always good for the same reasons. To be honest where I live there’s not much at all, years ago it used to be a nice little shopping parade, now it’s full of nail bars, hairdressers and barbers, take aways, etc Shame really. I used to go all over the place which I don’t feel I can do right now on my own anyway xx

Yes it’s difficult, when going alone isn’t an option.

I’m guessing you may have tried organisations such as mind to try get something like a befriender in your area. It’s something I checked out, unfortunately nothing available in my area..sometimes local churches will offer help, you don’t have to be religious..the minister of my local church helped me out with someone to take me on an appointment some time ago when I struggled with agoraphobia ...

I hope you get to do something that you enjoy and your day is peaceful

Xxx

They’ve turned out to be useless here, I had two phone calls from them, one in April saying they’ll be in touch...nothing. Another over couple of weeks ago going over the same old thing and then nothing since.

That’s nice the church offered to help though that’s something xx

Good morning Laniben

I have to get going too.

Lets do it together.

Since I have found this community I feel less alone.

Yes we have to don’t we. I get very sensitive and feel so vulnerable when I don’t feel right which doesn’t help. This site does help and there are some lovely friendly people here. Pity some of us don’t live near each other x

You are not alone. I pray every night that I would feel better tomorrow, I am still waiting for that tomorrow. I suffer with agrophobia and feel like a prisoner in my home, unless I go out holding someone's arm. I feel embarrassed that I have this fear because I just don't understand why I cant be like I used to be, always out and about and driving my car. I hope you can bring yourself to go out somewhere today and that tomorrow you start to feel better as I do everyone here x
