Seeking to find calmness in a state of anxiety

In times of upheaval and uncertainty it is sometimes difficult to adjust to the prevailing climate

I have always led a solitary life and could manage but having the imposition of restrictions can cause a strain on mental healtn

I think and I realise that there will be good days and bad days

I find it hard as I am concerned with the welfare of my Mother overseas and having to live day by day

My own income is facing uncertainty as I am reliant on a monthly income but I am willng to accept a reduction as long as I am not being taken advantage of

All these things go in my head and this ix why my studies and ability to find employment have been neglected

Dear Jerry

Thank you for your very honest approach

I am also a friendly and honest person

I can see beyond the facade of people’s smiles by their actions and behaviour

Thank you for explaining in such honestly how you came to buy your house

Well done

It is a huge accomplishment to bite the billet and see your dream become a reality

I have been trying to pass Wills and Probate and find a years work experience

I truly believe in what I am doing however the lack of self confidence with me sets in

I have learnt given this crisis to continue to do what makes us happy

It is at time’s like this I wish a had a garden but this is something to aim for

I will try to resume my studies in this lick done and believe that this aim of mine can happen if I sufficiently believe in myself

I remember a small trailer of the film of Las Vegas which the creator of Las Vegas could see beyond a barren desert

This is called vision and self belief

I thank you for your very kind words to get me through the day

Stay Safe

These are trying times for sure and worse for people who already have anxiety issues. It is important for your focus on achieving your goals. Don't forget your mum would want you to do that right. Self belief, we all have the ability within us to believe in ourselves. What stands in the way is self doubt and we all have this and it is important to remember that some people will put that self doubt I to us, so we must block this off as it is very negative. It might be helpful to write just a couple of things down and work on trying to improve that particular aspect to build your confidence. I'm sure they must do online things to help build self esteem. Don't overwhelm yourself, just work on a few aspects at a time and build them into the way you live. ☺☺☺

Thank you for your reply

As I live on my own with anxiety issues, the Lockdown and restrictions exacerbate my anxiety issues

I remember your posting of a tall and strong tree commanding all alone its silent strength

I know I should learn to discipline my mind and learn not to give in to my fear

I hope you keep well and stay safe
