Anxiety….. a week of it…

Hi Nigel,

So sorry to hear you've had a terrible week. No need to apologise this is a safe place to post.

I also suffer from anxiety attacks so understand how they can turn things upside down.Although I've not had the eating disorder so I can't offer any words of advice really.

Sound's like you've got through the worst of it though and that you reached out for help.

I found counselling helped me, but not sure if this is something you've had or might be interested in.

I'm in a good place at the moment, but I've thought in the past if I could get rid of the anxiety or cancer I would opt for the anxiety. I imagine most think this would be very strange and even thinking back sometimes so do I.

I really hope things continue to improve for you, but if you have a blip that's fine the help is there. It's definitely okay not to be okay.

Take care.

Evening Trevor, it’s amazing how many people suffer with anxiety…I know exactly where you are coming from in regards anxiety or Cancer… ive self referred myself to a counselling place…99% of the time I can sort it out with some breathing or going for a walk ect, but this time nothing worked and it all went down hill very very quickly…..I’ve never been so scared…

but…I’m ok now, still got some symptoms but it’s a lot easier…. Having a nice red bush tea..

hope your well mate..

Very true, I've also attended some group "workshop's" a while back and the group was very diverse from New mums, young adults to pensioners and everything in between.

It can be terrifying for sure, I try to use something called grounding... But when you're in a spiral it's very very difficult.

Sound's like you're already in a good place which is amazing, so well done.

Mentally and physically I'm in a good place ATM thanks for asking. A little sad though as my father in law passed away yesterday. He wasn't my wife's dad but we've known him for 25+ year's. Very sad and we've all been supporting the mother in law this weekend.

Keep getting well Nige and look after yourself and the misses.

Hi Nigel 

sorry to read you have a had a tough week unfortunately as human beings we tend to visit those things that provide us with comfort whether that be food drink gambling anything like that  when faced with a tough situation like we are all experiencing on our BC journeys It might be an idea to talk to someone at your GP practice and see if there is any help available there not to cut out the food items that you find comfort in but maybe help you find a place in your diet and the correct amounts to be consuming of the things you may see as troublesome toward your health just an idea mate 

all the best
