Just saying Hi, was given the Beyond Blue's on line forum by a friend as a different way of communicating. I fit into this group so am looking forward to the tools and support etc for dealing with my anxiety, which has got worse of late. I have always been good at using the techniques from my psychologist, but something has shifted in me and its not working, if thats the right word. Thank you

I hear you TheBon123,

How have you been feeling recently?

Thank you for asking, up and down, more up though. Been in the garden a lot which is good for me. Tired a lot as I can’t sleep, I can get to sleep ok but wake up a lot. Thanks for, Checking in. Hope you are feeling ok 😁

Hi TheBon123!

I completely hear you, I am so glad that you have been feeling more up than down! I thought that was a really great way to put it. Being outside sounds like a great idea, that definitely helps to boost my mood as well. Feeling the sun on me really helps!

I hope that your sleep gets better!

I look forward to hearing from you!

Hi folks, Day 2 of exercising after a long long break. Looking forward to the feeling of increased oxygen in me. Hope everyone is going well.

That's really great TheBon123!

Exercise is a great idea. Increased oxygen, increased endorphins. So many positives!

You have reminded me that I should go out for a walk sometimes!

Had been feeling good lately, but just like that I am not in a good place. Its been some time since my ex passed away. I feel it every year as I feel for children. They have not copped with it well, I can understand that, I just get tired trying to fix everything. Hoping that makes sense. Does anyone else sometimes not want to pick up the phone when it rings. Just getting it out, I am OK.

Hi TheBon123,

I'm so sorry to hear about your ex's passing. Grieving is a journey and it is unique to everyone.It sounds like you are a very empathetic person and as an empath myself, we can definitely be very aware of the feelings around us. I have definitely felt like not wanting to pick up the phone when it rings. Some days I am feeling very good and some days I feel as though I just do the minimum that I need to and that is okay. It is definitely a process.

I wanted to reply to your comment to let you know that you are not alone!
