Hello

Yes I have been like this the last few years before that I had my anxiety sort of under control

You have to try and challenge the thoughts not easy I know

Maybe make a list of what you fear and what you worry about and then ask what prove have you that those worries are justified , a lot of what we worry about is our anxiety creating them

You are not alone

Take Care x

Thanks for the amazing tips/advice will look into this, yea have been having a wine in evening to relax.😏

[MrRigatoni in reply to Sunhorn]

Hello thank you for reply.

Please as mentioned read anything I added slowly carefully.

Wine in the evening sorry if I can ask???

Do you think you drink more than the recommended amount of units.

If not sure have the links here to helps.

I am not suggested anything but with anxiety the big problem is consumption of those stimulants.

Used to do the same then it became serious I thought just a gent having a drink.

Became dependent on it.

Take a look just a gent who does not wish any one to go down the road I am and have been, just a caution.

Please if you need to can offer organisations to help you stop.

That is your decision I do advise to look at anything .

I am here to be supportive not critical.
