@matigo I will generally go in a cycle of 'what if' scenarios in my head and create situations that aren't realistic. It becomes even harder when you can't talk it out with people to make it easier to find some sort of closure. That being said I'm glad I'm back here semi full time. I missed being here.

@matigo Thing is though, the request for me to take action came through just as I was about to go home yesterday, which is why I dealt with it first thing this morning, thinking it wouldn't take that long to set up and I'd have the job done by lunch time. But all day, seriously?
@matigo Either way it’s very unhelpful and very hard to deal with. It’s possibly one of the worst things you could say to someone with an anxiety disorder, or any mental illness for that matter. Of course I can’t just ‘get over it’. It might take a bit longer to deal with situations that happen but it takes a lot of time spent overthinking.

@matigo Nah. Just day job stuff. I requested something to be completed urgently this morning and it got done not long before I went home …
i think I’ve caught up on all my messages now. Its almost bedtime but I may fit some YouTube in before I actually get to sleep. That and maybe a handful of caramel m&m’s to go with the rest of my cup of tea.
@hybotics Maybe you’re right. At the end of the day I’d kinda be doing a good deed by asking the question anyway, regardless of whether I get an answer or not.
@hazardwarning Thanks for sharing this with me Vanessa. I think I’m at that stage where I want to find out some definitive answers from the experts before anything else. There’s only so much I can do on my own in terms of self healing. My family don’t understand the concept of having mental health issues. There’s always going to be that stigma of ‘it’s all in your head’ and ‘get over it’. The idea of therapy scares the hell of out me.

@hybotics one is called Psych2Go, there’s also Behind the Science and there’s another one I can’t think of right now but I’ll look it up and let you know.

@hybotics I guess not having the interest in maintaining those relationships makes it better for you. I think it’s a little different for me in that I find it hard to put my trust in people, but once I do and I get hurt it’s extremely hard to come back from it.
