On a bad day - what do you turn to for comfort?

Kate Kestrel

We all have really bad days and when I do I often feel I’m floundering and don’t know where to turn to find some comfort and make the world feel like a less completely hostile place. What strategies do you use on those days when everything feels completely overwhelming and bleak and you’re feeling hopeless about life? What helps?

    Thank you for the virtual hugs and sorry I didn't see your reply until just now! My notifications never work

    I understand completely how you feel. Medical anxiety like that is horrible because you can potentially be unwell but too anxious to actually get checked out

    My mum says it's pathetic but she doesn't feel the anxiety I do she can't walk in my shoes and see how badly it affects me and how much worse it would be if I actually tried to call a DR let alone see one!

    Anxiety is crippling. I'm so sorry you go through this as well. I really hope it gets better for you Kate I truly do x

    Thanks Goosey - I really appreciate that x I basically can’t go to the doctor because I get so much anxiety about that, it’s a bit of a problem in many ways to be honest! I’m sorry you struggle with this too - it’s not much fun basically is it? (Understatement!) 

    Thanks for the virtual hugs - am sending some in return x
