Go to your GP and ask for counselling. My councellor let me talk every thing out for a hour at a time for 8 sessions. Best thing I ever did. She pointed me in the direction of Mindfulness to cope on a daily basis.

I did a course with local Wildlife Trust, Well being and mindfulness in nature. It was fantastic I learnt some interesting things and got some good tools to help me relax. I use it most days it really helps the ups and downs.

That sounds great. Never thought of anything outside of professional counselling. Thanks Sheena x

Yes, arrow1. Sounds familiar. I'm sure a lot of us are like that too, swinging up and down. With the down bits I try and make sure it doesn't take hold. So do something you enjoy. I love the reference Hedgehoglady07 makes to nature. It really helps me. Just a blue tit coming into my garden can really lift me. But it may be something different for you. Things coming in left field like the corona virus are a challenge. I'm trying to take a middle course. Not stopping everything but being a bit more cautious.
