Had a pretty bad week and therefore didn’t make any videos but I’m on the up again and feeling much better. Plus I’m going out with the girls for a meal. Hope you’re all ok 😊
Sorry you having a tough time. I can't deal with Xmas but this year, as there is no get togethers with friends & we've agreed to not see family - we live in a tier 3 area, I feel less pressure, as I don't get the social anxiety, so I'm actually doing better in regard to the usual Xmas feeling. Since my pregablin confession I've really changed my routine. I go to bed 9:30pm, up at 7am to 9am. I do literally nothing thou, I just take duvet downstairs & lie on sofa playing Xbox, listening to podcasts or watching TV. My partner has been happy with that, as it's better than me up all night & asleep all day, she says she doesn't feel as alone as she did before. I'm hoping I can start to do tasks round the house but I just can't get going. I have no motivation. EDIT: Cold weather - hate it. Especially as our boiler won't turn off & I have to go in loft to turn it off.
That is great news & probably a big step forward for you. Great that you & your partner are communicating too. My sleep routine for a little messed up last week but I’m hoping to get back on track this coming week. Remember to celebrate your small successes and you’ll propel yourself to do more!! 😊
I'm here to tell you,, I'm feeling the same way. So overwhelmed,, I have so much fear and anxiety just pumping though my blood its very uncomfortable and exhausting. Hope you have a good night with your friends. Let us know how it went.
I’m sorry to hear you’re feeling like that & know exactly what it’s like. I think what makes us feel worse is the pretence that everyone else keeps up that they’re doing just fine. Remember, cut yourself some slack & go at your own pace 😊
Wow, you’ve blown me away. I’m just some stranger you watch on the internet and you’ve been kind enough to enquire how I am. Thank you. I’m actually doing ok, keeping very busy, only started my Christmas shopping yesterday because I was waiting for a credit card to arrive (I’m so skint.) It’s 0% for 12 months so plenty of time to pay it off. Single life means I’ve been out with my friends a lot more which I love. How are you keeping? Hope you’re well & managing ok x
@@carolinabraidybird1929 I'm happy your doing good and making it out with your friends,, I live in new York but NOT in the city,, I live in the hills and we just got over 2 feet of snow. Yuck!!! At this time not doing that great. Christmas gives me stress. I was wondering maybe if your ever bored, not to be nosey but I was wondering if you could do a video on what started your panic attacks and anxiety long ago!! I think you said it's been 15 years or so.
@@tracystandish3420 Oh wow, NYC!!! Long way from me then. Snow is no fun if you ask me but I know many people love it this time of year. I’m happy to do a video explaining how this whole issue started. I was 18 years old so many, many years ago now. I think I was predisposed to it despite being a seemingly confident person up until that point. I’m sorry to hear you’re struggling and hope you’re being kind to yourself as I know that inner critic that nags us all can make us feel terrible. X
glad your feeling better.

I get depressed during Christmas holiday...
I think many people do. Try not to focus on what everyone else is doing & focus on what you need to feel better 😊
Carolina Braidy Bird you're right - thank you !
Just wondering how your doing?
