      Just feeling isolated.
      Trying to have some food.
      Not knowing what tomorrow brings.
      I really hate this.
      All I want to do is sleep.
      I dont feel I have it in me to face what I need to alone, trying to stay as calm as I can until I am back in contact with my support so I feel less alone.
      I’m all over the place.

      I just wish I could switch off my brain and just exist for a few hours.

      Hello, I didn’t want to read & run but I hope you’re doing ok.

      Can you go outside for a walk, get a change of scenery. Dr Ramani talks about ruminating, how our brains get stuck going over and over things and how once you recognise it, it can help to stop it for short spells. I’m sure others will be able to offer much stronger advice but just wanted to say you’re not alone x

        Thank you
        I’m just finding it hard to cope, physically isolated from everything.
        I went on a walk today.
        Hopefully tomorrow will be better.

        Each day at a time, each hour, each minute. We’re not used to relaxing, so used to being on high alert. I’ve suffered panic attacks since leaving for just sitting on the sofa.

        As Stephen Fry once said, emotions are like the weather. Just because it’s stormy today, do not forget the sun will shine again x
