The Weekly Friday Feast

[Mazarita]

@Former-Member So sorry you've been that upset. I've run off into the darkness a few times in my life. The last time I did it I found a big tree to hug and it comforted me a lot to feel its grounded strength. I'm glad to hear you are reaching out to your psychologist and psychiatrist at this time and that you have felt a bit better today.

Thank you for the hugs @Jacques - hugs for you too... Yes, crying is catheratic - I am lucky. Are you on medication that blunts your emotions? Sorry to hear you are having bad panic attacks... I rarely get them now, but I have experienced them since high school... I even had panic disorder with agoraphobia in 2005. I think I have read that you have agoraphobia? Sorry I don't really know how I "recovered"... I had ECT in 2006...

All three kittens are on lap! 🙂 Oh, one fell off!

Namaste,

Anna

Thank you @Former-Member, no it is not the medications, it is PTSD, i had a neighbour who used to torment me, to the point i was too scared to leave the back door, once they threatened me with a knive at the front door, and threatend with a shotgun too 😞 i think after 8 years of this, my mind has shut off all emotion. 

Yes i have Agroaphobia and seperation anxiety, i have not had a night away from my parents since 1994.

OMG Please give your fur babies a cuddle for me, please 🙂

Namaste

Thank you @Mazarita... My partner started the car, reached me, lifted me in, drove back to cabin & carried me back in.. I didn't have an objective... I just didn't know what to do with all the anxiety. When I was a teenager I used to wander the streets when stressed & make my mum worried (not on purpose)... Thank you everyone for your kindness... ❤️

Namaste

Oh no @Former-Member that doesn't sound good at all! I'm sorry you're father in law is back. Will you be able to just hide out a bit in your own spec while things are so difficult? Hope you get some support from your care team soon

Hi @Shaz51 I'm a bit stressed but trying to hang on and just let it blow over 🙂 distracting myself with lots of busy stuff! How are you doing?

Yes, it's sad for the kids and my husband We are traveling to visit the in laws in a weeks time. I am very close to Greg's (husband's) family my family was very dysfunctional so when the kids were small my mother in law was so helpful and kind. It's really sad seeing her in pain. Regarding how I'm feeling right now , I'm a bit better than earlier today. Last night I ended up messaging lifeline. I am on anti psychotics and anti depressants but I find talking toy Dr and psychologist helpful. I think it's such a long road to recovery.
