    Morning all... soooo cold in the office this morning, can't bear to take my scarf off (although as I couldn't type with gloves on I had to take those off!).

    How is everyone today? I'm very tired. Bit worried I'm going into a bit of a decline like I did earlier in the year but I can't let that happen again so I'm desperately trying to do everything to relax and rest... any calming/relaxation suggestions, especially ones I can do in the middle of the day when I feel fed up? Don't want to end up being signed off again and now I'm worrying about that which isn't helping. Argh! What is wrong with me??!! I never used to be like this, I mean I've always been a 'worry pants' (as my OH affectionately calls me!) but this is silly.

    Ok, I'm going to stop this now and start being positive again. Any useful tips gratefully received.

    Thanks toniq. I think you've hit the nail on the head there about my mind whirring constantly - I can't seem to switch off even when my body aches with tiredness. I'll try those things, thanks very much.

  • Morning all!! I need a new job right now. :( Looking desparately, applying to everywhere!! I am trying to live on about £35 a week for the moment and it's not do-able. There's just no work going and everything has gone quiet.

    I had the shock aspect with what happened to send me into a spiral as u can imagine, i also use pillow spray that soothes me i ordered some from melvis avon book xxx
    its the usual thing of switching off and trying to chill before bed, we have done our bedroom in pale lilac its very soothing with a lamp no bright lights and we never argue in bed, we always chat for a while to relax, im a big believer in scented candles and a clean uncluttered home as if home is a mess your mind follows itms xxx

    I use Bach Rescue Remedy Spray, which you spray on your tongue and is meant to help you keep calm, and actually does help...

    With me it started when I went to the drs around easter time with a painful neck and arm (had been like it for months), and he diagnosed me with anxiety. Not anything near your situation but my world came crashing down and I didn't take it well. Since then I've been consciously trying to have a different perspective, taking notice of what my body is telling me.

    Clean an uncluttered - that's me exactly, but at the moment I feel in a mess (there are things everywhere, I'm behind on the washing etc) and that's one of things that worries me. I'm going to spend this morning clearing things away at work, filing and cleaning my desk etc. Then this evening I will spend a couple of hours doing the same at home. I feel I need to be methodical about this!

    I really appreciate your time toniq. I love this forum!
