Hi there,
A very warm welcome to the Forums. We’re so glad you’ve joined us, and we hope this can be a supportive and understanding space for you to share what’s going on.
It’s so true that our physical health can have a big impact on our mental wellbeing. When we’re feeling run down, it can feel like our usual coping strategies are harder to access, and everything becomes that much more difficult. It makes complete sense that if the things you normally rely on to support your mental health aren’t available right now, it would really affect how you're feeling.
As tough as things are at the moment, it might help to gently remind yourself that this is likely a temporary setback. When you're feeling better physically, you’ll hopefully be able to reconnect with the things that bring you joy. In the meantime, it’s completely normal to feel low, and we hope you can be as kind to yourself as possible. You didn’t choose this, and you’re doing your best in a hard situation.
Has anything in particular helped you get through the week so far?
Wishing you a smooth and speedy recovery. Hope today is a little easier for you. 💙
Kind regards,
Sophie M
