What's Currently Wrong With You

Recommended Posts

Seen a lot of big life changes in the past 2yrs and haven't been looking after myself properly. Work noticed a few tells and my manager had a quick chat to see if everything was ok, which prompted me to reach out. So just had the results of my mental health assessment back. Moderate to severe depression, severe anxiety (which is what I was expecting), but now "symptoms of Obsessive Compulsive Disorder" which a new twist :lol: 

Don't get BUPA through work until December and so I'm on the waiting list with the NHS. 

 

So basically lads, if I start turning the website on and off exactly 12 times, don't fret it's all good :good:

As long as you stop using the godawful phrase “reach out” you can do what you like mate. :D

It was part of the solutioning we blue skyed in our face to face, something to action moving forward.

Good luck. I was diagnosed with severe anxiety last year, due to ongoing circumstances. Got a host of autoimmune conditions now which are it's physical manifestation I believe. I never bothered with counselling. Be interested to know if you find it effective.

Used it before at Uni, gave me some simple things I can do to be well (eating properly, exercising, talking, etc.), how to manage when it feels like it's too much; talking,  making lists, doing 2 minute jobs with a clear sense of completion (washing up, making the bed, etc.), also advice about how to spot triggers and symptoms. I found it useful, but it won't be for everyone.

tbh, I've been on top of it for nigh on 20yrs, but I've packed a lot of stress into about 18 months. Moving (twice), two jobs, wedding, and so on. I've obviously not been managing myself properly and it's all been piling up on top of itself.

Good luck everyone with their ailments and illness here.

 

Pretty sure we all have a best before date stamped somewhere. Can categorically state that mine was my 40th birthday. Nothing but bother since then. :(

I can see this thread becoming a lot more popular in the coming years as we all begin to fall apart.

Don't do that, I'll end having to put you all neatly back together again, in alphabetical order.

At least you can’t tear your hair out with the anxiety that’ll induce, though. :P

That's why God gave men corybantic nose, ear and eyebrow hair.

Good luck with your various issues, benders. I was diagnosed with acute sexiness last year. I've taken it in my stride.

despite the ginger hair and knocked knees; personality goes a long way.

37 is possibly the most nondescript of all birthdays/ages.
