They're starting a female mental health group in the Beacon soon and I was asked to suggest a name. I thought of Haway and Slay. Don't know if that will appeal to all but my daughter thought I was cool for using the word slay

Most of the stuff I say isn't serious and I know Becs so I know I wouldn't get lashedI seem to think you might get a good few more scowls when female posters read your suggestion.
Get your tin hat ready. Although I see on your pic you already have one so maybe you have form.

Tell you what I hate, when you are feeling incredibly lonely, but also the idea of just having a drink with someone feels the most daunting thing in the world and you can't face it

Be as serious as you want, but for f sake dinnat slag the females because you'll pay. And don't be fooled by Becs either because she'll give you a good lashing....but that's for a different (private) threadMost of the stuff I say isn't serious and I know Becs so I know I wouldn't get lashed
I totally sympathise, but gradually you'll be able to go for a drink. People are remarkably friendly if they see someone alone in a quiet bar, just build yourself up to it. For your starter just go somewhere for a beer then develop it from there. You won't be the only one sitting on your own. Then it's purely up to you who you want to talk to. If you're in need of speaking to someone sit at the bar, the barstaff will always speak to open the chat.

Can anyone help. Just in general. I’m looking for like short term practical help, I wouldn’t say panic attacks but when you are getting to that state and just feeling frazzled and mind racing to worst scenarios etc, full of anxiety.
Sometimes just literally need to stop that when it starts quickly.
Aye true
Bourdain I can relate to a bit, spend a lot of time abroad and I think some people think I’m doing better than I am. Can be very lonely.

Plenty of exercise. When you feel like that try going for a walk. Stay off the drink and more sleep.
It'll not be forever, keep going

There are an incredible amount of people though that understand your position and wouldn’t put any unnecessary pressure on you.
It would help you my friend.
Please don’t suffer in silence, you are never alone. Some real decent people on this thread.
Have you tried a meditation app? I like Calm but there's others available too:

I can gift a friend a 30 day guest past if you want to try it for free. PM me if you want the link to that.

My best technique is distraction technique, it'snot for everybody. Please don't laugh I paint cheap wooden trays and upscale cheap bits of small wooden furniture. Takes concentration. One person I was in group with crochets. Find something, honestly it's a tried and tested technique. Same as exercise but for when we can't drag ourselves outside. Tidying is a good one. Probably no help whatsoever but next time you in the UK I will gift you a tray with Scottish treats in them

Sorry it's off topic but we were looking at flights for the wedding and debating direct with Logan Air or via Amsterdam with KLM. The main consideration was you get a Tunnocks caramel wafer on Logan Air which we decided is better than a stroopwaffle on KLM
