Re: Eureka!!

Tick - I am not over-reacting or looking for problems that aren't there
Tick - this is what I know those around me think
Tick- YOU should be proud of all you have been & continue to deal with
Tick- original post mentioned so many things that I have been 'struggling' with over the last few years and recognise,.

Tick- have been told by my GP that I am depressed
Tick- suffering from stress blah, blah, blah
Tick- ignoring or not listening to what I feel are my real issues
Tick- memory, language hesitation (verbal & written)
Tick- utter fatigue

lol- devoid of all fluffiness.

Tick- I feel nothing,
Tick- long conversations bore me,
Tick- little to no empathy
Tick- not simply an "attention seeker" (how I've been made to feel!?!)

Tick- found work more than challenging
Tick- ability to cope deteriorating
Tick- finally left
Tick- I am not the person I used to be
Tick- how do I explain this without sounding like a 'whining child looking for excuses?'

YAY! -Your post & this thread ... has helped at least one person.

Tick - I may just copy & take this with me

Well done for coming back, that's progress!
and took some effort I guess.
Hope you can find the energy to keep coming back.

NB - confrontation fear, social engagement incompetence - funnily enough this is better for me now than it was before! Go Figure!

Dear Mum of five,

Lots of good advice here.

Thought I would add a little tip for you, one that I have just started about 2 weeks ago.

Zen Breathing exercises

I am still going 3.5 years later.

This is actually my first post.

Though I feel like an older member, because I have been visiting for over 2 years.

Kept meaning to post my story or something over and over again.

This is so hard just writing this now.

Filling up already, I can hardly see the screen.

Best of luck for the 28th.

Hope you can try the Zen. Two minutes a day is all it takes.

Just done mine in the greenhouse( my quiet place)

So much more I could say, but I am going to press the button now or this post will never get posted.
