I can’t cope

[lavenderhaze]

I understand, @Snowie. Sometimes coping is hard, and we struggle with our ways of coping. But I can see that you're trying, and on some days, that's an achievement too. I hope you can be as kind to yourself today as you are to others. ❤️

I am sorry to hear about the chest pain @Captain24 😞 If something is causing you concern, I would agree with Snowie, and recommend that you step away from it for the time being to center yourself. Hugs.

[Captain24]

Sorry @Snowie Is it to do with your mum? 

Yeah I am ready but at the same time I feel pretty unsure as they keep making me jump through hoops. What else are they going to throw at me when I get there. I know I’m overthinking it but I guess that’s something that I do pretty well. 

Afternoon plans? 

[Captain24]

It’s ok. The chest pain will eventually go away. @lavenderhaze. I don’t have anymore prn that helps with it. I don’t think anyone will write me a script anyway. 

Yeah, I need to stop worrying about it. The more I think about it the more my chest hurts. 

Do you have any plans for the weekend? 

[lavenderhaze]

I know what you mean @Captain24 ❤️

When I am anxious, my body starts feeling really weird and I actively have to distract myself to get rid of the pain.

It's a loop haha

anxiety > pain > anxiety

I don't have anything interesting planned, just going for dinner with a friend tonight 🙂

What about you?

I am about to log off for today but I will chat to you both on Tuesday. I hope you both have a peaceful enjoyable weekend @Captain24 @Snowie 🙂

[Snowie]

@lavenderhaze lots of shame associated with it too. Just keep putting one foot in front of the other.

I think it's totally normal to over think things @Captain24 I do it all the time. Our brains always tell us the worst case scenario too.

I really hope it is smooth sailing for you hon and they treat you right.

Some to do with my mum and a few other things. My SH has been high lately which isnt helping.

Not up to much this afternoon.  Still in pjs!!

Have you got much on?

You have motivated me to go buy a lego set!!

[Bow]

Wow @Captain24 you got 2! Yay! 

I just poped into the shops for a couple of things and I went looking at some of the Lego, they already have some of the new release stuff out on the shelves. I was tempted! But need some save money, lots of extra $$$ you don’t think about when you get a new car! 

sorry your having ongoing chest pains, that sucks…. I get that too from anxiety. 

[Captain24]

I’m so sorry @Bow @Snowie @lavenderhaze.

The chest pain and thoughts just got too much so I went to bed. 

I hope things are starting to go a little easier for you. @Snowie. I know nights are the worst. 

Yeah I went to Big W and hoped that was the parrot and then I saw the other flower pot and thought to myself.. ‘that looks like a @Bow  Lego’ checked your post and yep it was. I did read about ECT I hope it can work out for you if that’s what you want. 

Nah no plans @lavenderhaze. I hope dinner goes well

Hey @Captain24 ,

What's happening for you at the moment?

[Snowie]

You don't need to be sorry for putting yourself first @Captain24 

[Captain24]

Just anxiety @tyme. My chest hurts a little and I have a headache. Plus in helpful thoughts. 

How are you today?
