Thank you for your kind
replies. Last night I felt like 20 different emotions were coursing through me
at one time. Mum had been living at home until November 2020 and since moved
into a nursing home. I miss the daily talks we use to have when I can share my day,
talk, and unload my problems, concerns or annoyances with her, not having that
avenue I have bottled a lot on the inside. I consider myself lucky that I have
two male cats living with me, they have become very close and clingy to me.
They are great companions but not great conservationists.
I decided to give myself two days off from looking at the DVA forms; my heart
is not in it knowing what did or in this case did not happen when I was denied
protected person status last time. I have heard about online anxiety audio
help, my sister suggested that I should also listen to these on the way in to
work, but I am not sure where to start.
I wanted to list down what I believe affects me so when i went to the doctor i had something meaningful to tell him.
I am affected
by:
Generalized anxiety disorder is characterized
by persistent worry or fear. People with this disorder worry about a
number of concerns, such as health problems or finances, and may have a
general sense that something bad is going to happen.
Social anxiety disorder is also known as social phobia. People with this disorder are fearful of social situations in which they might feel embarrassed or judged. They typically feel nervous spending time in social settings, feel self-conscious in front of others, and worry about being rejected by or offending others. There is a nice girl at work and she asks me how I am. I am guarded with my response because in my mind I have nothing to offer her if she wanted friendship with me. She now thinks that I am rude and has brushed me off
Difficulty concentrating
Restlessness, I cannot sit still
Irritability and anger
Sleep disturbance, my brain wont switch off and brings up bad scenarios (rumination)
