Hi i'm new to this too, try and be kind to yourself and take one day at a time

[kit]

thanks all this does seem to be a very friendly place. I made it through the day at work but only as i didnt have to work with anyone. im finding it easier to cope if i dont have many around me.

at least you made it through the day! i find it easier if people at work don't ask me how i am or anything to do with me or my life. Would rather listen, i think people would get fed up with me or think i'm crazy or run away if i told them how i really feel. Tomorrows another day

hi all. went away for the weekend as planned. dont think it helped much though. didnt sleep much as my mind just will not shut up.

I know its frustrating, but time really is a key factor.

Im fairly new to this place too and I already feel so welcome here. Writing down my feelings and trying to help with others seems to pick me up a little. I too feel that my mind keeps working away with questions and irrational fears all the time, mostly topped off with "when will I feel better?" and "why do i feel so useless right now?" I keep reminding myself of some of the good advice I have recieved on here: Take time to rest, take things slowly and try to focus on the good things in your life.

I hope you are soon feeling better, but when you are feeling a little low we will be here to talk if you need to.  :)

hi kit do you have any hobbies or interests? that might help you feel better. i recently took up horse riding something i thought i would never do, never had an interest in either. although it isn't the be all and end all in terms of feeling better i have enjoyed it and it has given me something else in my life other than just work, work and work, in between that housework! i dont get overly excited or enthused about going but i do enjoy it and have really liked being around the horses, grooming them etc...
also i have just brought an acoustic guitar and am teaching myself how to play - i used to play an instrument at school and thought i might like trying to play an instrument again. will do/try anything to help myself get better so fingers crossed! :)
