After my day yesterday

[Laniben]

So after my day yesterday when I was nervous about seeing the counsellors the rest of the afternoon was good I felt fine, had a little moment later but it went. Today however, I’ve felt quite anxious on and off and had burning arms. After a fairly reasonable good day in the end yesterday it lowers the mood when the following day it doesn’t go so well, especially when I came out of the appointment feeling ok and almost as if I didn’t have any problems 😐

Swings & roundabouts

Yep that’s true Tony, I went out in the end with my daughter and bought some things in the next town to me, I call it therapy 😉

I Have noticed the same thing after talking with my son....when I talk to him it seems to lower my anxiety....same with your counselor I guess.....and you feel well for a while......but then it comes back again....I have no cure for it....but in my case I know that being alone 99% of the time is a huge stress on me.....I do not like being all alone and having no one to talk to in real life...I do chat with people on FB etc....but it is not the same as having a loved one to hug you and make you feel like your life matters....at least that is how it is for me...

Hi Bunny

So sorry to hear you are on your own. That must be so difficult if you suffer from anxiety.

Are there any social clubs or activities you could go to or is that too difficult for you with anxiety?

My very best wishes.

I’m Sorry to hear that Bunny, I live on my own but I do have family though I can’t see them as much as I’d like because they have kids and work etc.

Hi Sam

I will do a short reply this time as I have written back twice now and seem to have lost both of them.

Really pleased you got on well with the therapy. Sorry you had a less good morning

You definitely get good and bad days at this stage

I have just had a stormy walk on the beach with Honey and did some shopping at a shop called Home Bargains, do you have them in your area?

Best wishes

Kim

Hi Kim, Oh right wonder what happened to your messages then. I’d love a walk on the beach rain sun or whatever, I love the sea. Yes I’ve got to accept that hard as it is. Yes I’ve heard of Home Bargains, there’s not one local to me though I don’t think I’ll have to look and see where they are.

Laniben That's natural today as a few doubts and "what ifs" may come around.

However, go back to yesterday's positive day reassuring yourself that everything

will be okay. One step at a time. We can't expect perfection every day. xx

[Laniben in reply to Agora1]

Thank you Agora, yes I will, and I do understand and it’s something I’ve got to accept at the moment, That’s one of my pitfalls I do find it difficult.

How you feeling today?

Hi Tony

Shhhhh 😉 ......Had a good day today been out twice on the bus, first time to get a chicken korma curry and pilau rice from M & S, haven’t had one for a long while and theyre really tasty from there so that’s my takeaway today lol, Later I went back there to get some earphones because I couldn’t find the 3 pairs I’ve got around here somewhere, no idea where they’ve gone 🙄

How’s your day been?

Sam

[Jaxs050783]

Glad to hear your good today, may it continue. Small steps in the right direction.

Curry! First bacon sandwich now curry, you have won me over!

I’m ok today been out playing football with my eldest. He is only 10 and he wipes the floor with me. He plays for Bristol Rovers academy

[Laniben in reply to Jaxs050783]

I’m obviously picking the right foods then lol, that’s great for him you never know he might turn pro

[Jaxs050783]

You never know. He is only 10 but he plays up a year or two so he ain’t bad
