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 😂

Absolutely the right choice.
.....

Sorry meant to say as well not real tidying up, if only, my house would be spotless. Take everything out of a cupboard and sort by....whatever. fold all t shirts with favourite on top.

I know this is probs not ideal for you @MustardAndOnions working abroad and maybe living in digs but maybe it can help others.

Crap, which one are you on. Can you try another one?

When I say crap. I meant that is crap for you by the way, not you are talking crap.

Gosh. Think I am going to stop posting on here for a bit, text book anxiousness and paranoia folks. Hence my need to keep coming back and over explain. 😔

So you agree regarding the problems that arise from not being able to cope with others opinions...that's a start 👍
I see depression as the period of time it takes to tire from whatever problem originally caused a negative mindset. We may know full well why we didn't get a particular job, or why a partner left us etc, but it is human nature to over analyse. My second wife (I've had a few) left me because I was selfish and a little lazy, and so easy it would have been to put my hands up to that at the time, but I just had to crack that egg. Inside I found the white and the yolk but decided to look for something more complex that shifted blame away from me. After six weeks of dissecting this symbolic egg I ended up with scrambled egg...it was all one colour so no longer could I see the white and the yolk. I had exhausted all other possibilities and realising this released me from depression. In a few days came elation as I now had a new reference point of lowness. I never cracked another egg.

Distraction: my daft secret is that I sing this song that I learned in Sunday school in my head when I feel panicky and think I might need to leave somewhere:

Happy Friday mate, you must do what's best for you and from what you say it is best for you.
Dreams very often come true, all the luck in the world to you.

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.

Have you tried middle to long-term counselling before? Reading your posts, I think you would benefit from integrative counselling. I am an integrative counsellor myself and I think it could be beneficial for you. It would allow you to explore your issues but also learn some anxiety management at the same time.
