Some of you who don’t have access to our Instagram have wanted us to share some of the things we post there! Our Instagram has a lot more education-based posts, which I hope you’ll enjoy.
Thank you for sharing as I am not on instagram. I suffer with anxiety too, which has got worse after the last 2 years. I know through chats on Twitter I see, it doesn’t surprise me of the results you have.
Yes; it hurts my heart that so many struggle 🤍
I was struggling with other things before covid with anxiety. But the last 2 years have made things worse and I think its done that to a lot of people.
I think that’s true; there’s so many more external factors to consider and keep an eye on 🤍 you’re doing so well x
Thank you. I am certainly taking care of me more this year, as I step back on things. I am waiting on another to be released from, which is my deputyship, when its been through the courts and someone else taking over my mum’s financial affairs that has pushed me to my limit. X
I’m so glad to hear you are looking after you! It sounds like you’ve been under a lot of pressure lately 🙁 x
I have been under a lot of stress since 2019. But more so than I thought I ever could be in just over this past year.
And the last 2 years like a living nightmare.
Mine reason of anxiety is loneliness and society peer pressure 🙃
Loneliness is so horrible!!! I hope you are doing okay. There is so much life in this community x
It’s a constant battle with me. Got to constantly try to keep on top of it.
It is something that needs consistent attention which gets so tiring.
