Thank you for your welcome. IÂ’m glad I have got it all out now..
I use breathing and focussing techniques for bringing back from attack stage and I also exercise a lot to help with fight or flight (excess adrenaline) state. I have been speaking to my dad and also my best friend tonight. Both have been with me every step of the way and I couldnÂ’t be more grateful. My 14 year old gives me his signature kiss on the forehead as he knows IÂ’m not feeling too well.
Thank you for your beautiful words and encouragement x
Thank you so much for your reply. I have been on and off meds since 2012. I am currently off (stupidly my choice) but I am the brave hero but clearly not. I have emailed my surgery this evening to ask for a review (new way of contacting our drs since covid). I finished counselling in 2014 after being discharged due to it being successful and being taught coping techniques during CBT. I have to admit it helped and I have used them a lot but recently things have not helped too much. Im glad to be surrounded by you all on here and not feeling ashamed for asking for extra help. I am drinking plenty of fluids due to the heat, continuing to exercise. My appetite is low so food is a bit sporadic but I try and eat little bits when I can.
