I realise many on this forum give much positive and encouraging advice
I realise I was highly stressed and agitated and I am in the process of trying to solve many of the issues that I faced
I think there is still much uncertainty and you can never be too careful in this current climate given the nature of Covid 19
Also for those who are alone , it is a very isolating time which can heighten anxieties and fears for those who are predisposed to mental health issues

I think being on your own does make it harder and I would imagine it's best to try and occupy your mind as listening to and watching the news would make anxiety worse. I only listen to part of the update some days and dont listen to or watch any of the media hype. I hope you're feeling better it sounds like you have made a breakthrough with your feelings as you seem to understand that you felt anxious and stressed which I imagine understanding that is a big step forward so well done.
Good Afternoon
I hope you are safe and well
It is my mental health plus isolation which can makes matters more difficult to deal with
I understand the root cause of the anxiety and what triggers my behaviour and perception
I hope today had gone well for you
Thank you. I've had a good day. Been out for a long walk this morning. Did a bit of baking and now cooking the dinner. Understanding the root cause of your anxiety is such a massive step to reducing it. A lot of people never understand the cause. Well done 🙂
Good evening
Thanks for your reply
I expect I must learn and should learn to be kinder to ourselves
I wish you a peaceful evening
Yes dont be hard on yourself. You should be your own best friend. Dont say things to yourself that you wouldnt say to a close friend. I hope you have a good day today.
Good morning
I hope you are well
I think it is trying to find a life for myself
I have been trying to re qualify in Wills and Probate and find a years experience for the past three years
It has been my mental health and anxiety which has caused the struggle
I recognise this now which I did not before
Thank you for your reply
Good Afternoon
I hope you are well
It seems I had to follow the advice of the retired IT Consultant and I did manage to contact the Jewellers who hold the Safe Deposit Box
I was told the Pawn Broking side of the shop is open but all the safe deposit boxes are closed until they obtain clearance from Govt guide lines
Thanks for asking
How was your day
Thank you for your reply
You have always shown great understanding
I expect you have been very busy sorting things out for the Charity shops who will be pleased with the new stock
I hope you keep safe and well
Hi Roukaya, it is good when we can see what holds us back sometimes, it then put's us in a position to act. I thing you do very well with your anxiety and you should be proud of the way you do deal with your problems. I am very glad to hear your belongings are safe. That is something you don't have to worry about now. xxx
Good evening
I hope you are safe and well
I think anxiety and fear propel one another and I learnt that the mind can go in to overdrive if we let it.
I had a turbulent weekend with the worry and trying to sort things out
My computer has been reset and I lost a file of my old letters
But I have a copy of my Updated CV and Covering Letter and I will type and file them again
Thank you for your reply and solid understanding
I hope your day went well
I am fine and well thanks. I know your weekend has had concerns for you but it's Monday and you have come through the weekend and sound much more positive. You are working through things, which is just great. xx
Good evening
I hope your day went well
How did you spend your day ?
I have learnt that health is quite essential to sort things out.
I think I was thankful that I was able to do what I could to resolve my two primary concerns
Thank you for your understanding
It is tough for people on their own Roukaya and of course you have ups and downs. Keep on getting through your days as best you can. You are doing very well. 🙏
Good evening
I hope you are well
I have learnt always to act given the responsibilities I had with dealing with s vulnerable and elderly adult
I have learnt to accept and acknowledge that I have anxiety and not to let it rule and determine the way I perceive matters
I hope you are safe and well
I wish you a pleasant evening
Hi Roukaya,
I'm glad that You are beginning to sort things out, and I'm glad we have been able to help.
You are right, it is a very isolating time for many of us.
Continue to message me if you wish, I'm happy to help.
Cheers, Midori
Good morning
I hope you are well
How are you managing with arranging your home
I spoke with the Membership body of the Safe Deposit Vault who seem to say that the business is safe .
I had my bank card cancelled as it may have been a scam that caused my computer to be blocked and which cost me £92 pounds
Also I have a flat in London which is currently empty as the tenants left in mid April so I expect it may take a while before new tenants are found
My Mother also feels very isolated and lonely as she is also by herself
She is dependent on a few of her friends for help
I was very badly stressed in the weekend and I realise my Mother can project her worries on to me which makes my anxiety worse
I am fifty years old and I also had my computer reset which meant I had lost all of my old documents
This means I have to retype and refile my Cv and Covering letter
It is very lonely and isolating and also I am fasting today
I hope you are managing to arrange your home
