Last week really hit me today. I had been really not letting it get to me but today it got to me. Anyway, nothing I can do about it but try to move on, so tomorrow is hopefully a new day.

Strange day for me. Again slept at about 4am and got up about 8.30am. I made eggs and rashers for breakfast(something i usually skip).

Decided to have a nap about 4.30pm, i heard my Sister call to my home with her 3 kids but i didn't even go down to see them. Only got out of bed at 9pm.

It's strange how it can change so quick.

I couldn't sleep all night, finally fell asleep after 9am, didn't get up until 5pm... **** sake, day gone but not like I had plans... think I'll just stay up until 9pm tomorrow now to sort my sleeping pattern.

Hi,

I struggle with generalized anxiety and I’m wondering if anyone in here has similar symptoms. Feeling a bit isolated with my experience

Every morning I wake up with negative thoughts, things are difficult until at least 10am. my mind is always racing - can be good or bad. I’m always playing out scenarios in my head (good and bad) and mentally rehearsing conversations. My inner voice basically never shuts up and tell me negative things about me, my body and what people think of me.

I am coping - I do lots for myself . But it can be exhausting and a bad week can really affect me to a point where I’m in a really bad place.

I’ve turned to spirituality a lot recently because some days it’s easier to have some beyond what I’m dealing with to believe in.

Just wondering if anyone has had a similar experience to mine.

Im completely empty. I am certain tomorrow will be different. Im sick of being angry at myself. My wife deserves better, my daughter deserves better and I deserve better. I will allow myself to wallow tonight. Tomorrow I grab life by the balls. We can do this guys.

Yes. My brain is always thinking good and bad things and playing out scenarios in my head all the time. Sometimes it's like living in a dream world.

Should be feeling happy today as my football team Celtic are playing within the next hour, have my Godson here with me too.
It's Mother's Day and i couldn't even get my Mother a present as my Illness Benefit wasn't paid to me.

Feeling low but my Mother understands. Just makes the brain think more and more.

I love a bowl of porridge, comforting. Of course i can never find the energy to make it when i need it.. I effing hate how my mind works (or doesn't) at times.

Just having tea and bourbon creams, can't actually believe I had a good day ! First Mother's Day and got spoiled then actually put on makeup and went for a lovely spin . It's sad that a good day is such unusual thing ...... But I'm staying in my bubble of today
