Thank you for sharing this, Josie. Lots of it rang true for me too, so it's really great to hear that I'm not alone in some of these feelings. Thank you.
Its important to share this...for both your sake and others who may feel alone and need to face their own challenges...I'm a psychiatric nurse and psychiatric nurse practitioner student...I used to be a paramedic and ED/Trauma nurse...that left me with PTSD...I still struggle with that...nightmares, and anxiety, and depression...and like you, I lost my dad but 12 years ago...we were close...and it hit me very hard...I still think about him every day, though the memories mostly evoke good feelings these days. Clearly you were exhausted...and bottling up those kind of feelings leads to chronic illness...Diabetes, Heart Disease, Cancer...always better to face it, like you did...and yes, it's a good idea to seek counseling...I still am in counseling...and I recommend it even to healthy clients... to protect themselves and encourage personal growth...🤔🤷♂️ I wish you luck on your journey and hope you find the healing that you need...
Thank you for sharing this. I have long term anxiety problems, mostly social, but also more generalised anxiety. I don't know if you will remember this, but back at UWE I used to never attend seminars. I was absolutely petrified of them. I felt really intimidated by them and a sense of imposter syndrome. I felt like nothing that I would have to offer would be of any value to the debate so I always doubted myself and then I just didn't want to be there at all. I would try to force myself to attend, but it would always result in a panic attack. Then I would spend the days being anxious and depressed about the repercussions of not attending seminar and I became really isolated and insular. I still suffer with anxiety on a daily basis, but I am now getting help from the NHS too. I spend most of my time trying to wear a mask that hides my mental health so I think it is very brave of you to share it on TH-cam and I think it's fantastic that you have. Hope you are well.
Ugh I adore this! You're fabulous!
Love you. Love this. Sharing is great. You’re a rockstar ❤️ ❤️❤️
