Hi everyone, how are you feeling right now?

Anxiety often moves in waves. Some days feel smooth and manageable, while others… even the smallest thing can tip us into overwhelm.

💬 So let’s check in:

  • On a scale of 1 to 10, how anxious do you feel today?
  • What helps you calm down when anxiety creeps in?
  • Has anything brought you a bit of peace or clarity recently?

I sleep very poorly, I was diagnosed with severe sleep aponea, anxiety and depression, and I shamefully tried to commit suicide on two occasions , I have to wait 8 months for intensive CBT therapy, My problem is I have a CPAP machine which is excellent, but the medication ( Sertraline) I am on has a side effect of insomnia, so one is battling the other.

Hi

I always have mixed up mind from happy to down and feel hopeless.

Sometimes wish I wasn't here and cant cope to other times so excited and cant wait like a child.

At peace today and most days. Now on Ramipril which I think is helping the hypertension and anxiety levels.

I do Word search puzzles to relax and keep my mind in tact.
