    Sorry to hear of your anxiety attack. Keep going and you will beat it.
    Thank you :)  

    Sorry to hear about the anxiety attack, perhaps you’re feeling overwhelmed. Hope it eases off soon. 

    A few pages back but fabulous photos 😍

    You did very well indeed with the old TV lasting so long and now you have a new better one for a good price. Enjoy ☺️ 
    Thank you :)  Yes, definitely a bit of overwhelm I think.

    Sorry you were feeling more anxious - hope that increasing your savings helps alleviate it.
    Thank you :)  I'm hoping that it will.

  • Happy birthday. I hope you have a fantastic day 🎉🎉🥂🎉 also boo to the anxiety its such a horrible thing to suffer with both  myself and my DDs suffer to degrees but mines not as bad as it was when I first joined MSE. I remember I was an anxious wreck back then but it's calmed down now. DD1 had CBT to treat hers and then found that the hypnotherapy training she did for when she had the DGS also helped a lot. DD2 is a social anxiety and is ongoing but she is doing ok. It's weird because she works in a very stressful job dealing with patents and their families at a time when they aren't at their best and she get shouted at daily but it doesn't phase her. She has rovmzke multiple phone calls a day to different agencies and relatives but if she has to phone someone to come and repair something in her flat she is really anxious. She doesn't like having strangers in her flat doing work. She also struggles on social occasions but has forced heslf to join in and it's getting easier.
