You will get better

[Corndolly]

Hi everyone. I just wanted to post a good news story and thank everyone here for their support. I've been off work for 6 months with anxiety and depression. I have taken every bit of help I could despite not wanting to do many of the things asked. But I did walk every day for an hour outside whatever the weather. I did you tube meditation every day. I was open and honest with my counselor. I took my medication. I even bought colouring books and did that every day even though I felt an idiot.

I think it was hard work to put myself first and treat this illness like any physical one and apply the "prescription".

I am in a sleep program now called sleep station. Again its hard work but it is really helping me.

I start my new job in January and at last starting to come out of this fog and am looking forward to my future even though I know maintenance is key and I still need to do most if those things to look after myself.

When I first posted on here I thought I would never get better

There is hope people . look after yourselves 🤗😘

Hi Corndolly,

Well done to you! We can read all the guides on mental health issues and listen to the experts but unless we can find it in ourselves to do something, even the smallest thing, then nothing will change.

It's great you're doing so many things to get Better !!

You're right to treat emotional related illnesses just the same as any physical illness.

My sleep problem believe it or not is way worse than yours.

I actually have finally fixed it by right before bed eating something, taking a Melatonin sleep hormone pill and a small hit of weed. It works every time. I go to sleep quickly and stay asleep a Normal number of hours !!! I'm really Happy about that - it's so nice to wake up and feel good...
