Tired and emotional after 2 good weeks.

The last two weeks have been good for me, hard to settle at work but got there in the end.

When I wasn't well I made sure I went to bed early and it really helped as I could be comfy and relaxed. When I felt better the later nights crept back in. Over the weekend I was a little anxious, the cause is sorted now but it's triggered my anxiety again so I'm finding it hard to stop thins snowballing.

I wake early in the morning, feel really sick and my appetite has disapeared. Find it hard to concentrate on anything as just want to sleep really but can't. Next week I have a hospital app and I go on holiday on Friday, it was on holiday last year that my anxiety came back with a bang.

After all these years I should be used to this but it doesn't get any easier my worries come back all the same. When I'm well i can let things wash over me but when I'm not I find worries everywhere.

Hi

I do think this can be the case

I have been like I am for years , i did have a couple of years that things seemed the best they could ever be , but then when life starts throwing things at me which it did , before I knew it i was back to square one

Just recently there seems to be so much happening & coming up , my anxiety has gone in to overdrive

Maybe I & others may never be able to let things wash over us , but what we will learn is the warning signs & how to deal with them before they over power us i.e i think when we are feeling down we have to watch what we are doing & feeling & take extra care

Try & stay in the day , can be hard , but i have found its the best thing to do , if we start thinking about nxt week , what might happen (which alot of the time doesnt ) we are heading down a spiral , we can only deal with the day we are in & I no I have to keep telling myself that

You said how well you were looking after yourself & how much better you felt & I no once we do it can be easy to slip back in to bad habbits ...late nights etc

Go back to looking after yourself , stay in the day , you will get back on track

You have & are doing so well , dont let this set you back & you are not on your own with this happening so be reassured

love

Thank you whywhy, so nice to hear from you. I find it so hard to get through the day. I know I've had good times but when I feel bad it's so hard to convince myself that I will feel well again. I know my rational thinking goes out the window and I am my own worst enemy and I get cross with myself and feel like I've let it all go wrong again, which doesn't help. Thank you for being there.xxx
