it's important to give ourselves a pat on the back sometimes for doing something scary or challenging or out of our comfort zone

so whats something your proud of yourself for?

Im not sure either. I dont generally call helplines but when i do its bad as in my mental states bad and i had to call 4 times in under 24hrs. So maybe irs not a good thing.

Thats really great you got to your support group. Thats really good

Had a meltdown last night and caught the bus to doctor's today. Got a referral. Also rang counsellor at uni and made an appointment. Trying to winch myself out x

Thanks everyone for the encouragement

Mark I am no a fan of flying either. I had a huge panic attack on a plane 2 years ago and my psych prescribed me something for 2 flights due to me panicking. Then I started doing breathing exercises (as adviced by my mental health nurse and using the app) and listening to music on take off (sound makes me freak out a bit) and I haven't had a panic attack since. It is good to have a plan in place

I am proud of myself for going to the gym. I did some incline walking plus a short class. I struggled but still tried my best. I am trying to go to the gym every day this week as my mum is coming to town for 5 days and probs won't be able to go when she is here.

Good thread star

um I'm proud of myself today becuase I managed to be in the car with my dad and not have a fight with him or have a panic attack, (I still got mad though).

Great work Ms Purple - helps massive now that you can have you phone on in flight mode so that music is able to be listened to.

On the return leg yesterday was quite edgy the whole time but then looked out the window and there was some awesome cloud patterns and felt an instant calm, come over me. Was so cool!

Love you work with the gym to!!

Mark
