@theluckygerman: It hit me today that I really thought I had this anxiety under control, and then suddenly I’m ditching the trolley, leaving my wife at the till, and walking straight out of the shop just to avoid a conversation I’d already convinced myself would be uncomfortable. I didn’t want to explain anything, didn’t want to get into my mental health, didn’t want the spotlight. And then my wife tells me afterwards that the person didn’t even mention me they just chatted normally. It’s mad how my brain can build a whole scenario that never actually existed. There’s definitely a lesson in there about the pressure I put on myself, but I also know that if I’d stayed, I probably would’ve ended up in a completely different conversation anyway, overthinking every word. #anxiety #MentalHealth #wellbeing #depression #stress

Mr B you’re looking at the negatives… look at the positive.. Mrs B had to pay for the shopping 😆. Joking aside, recovery isn’t a straight line, chin up and move forward!

Jonny I commented earlier about how you’re doing today. When you first start, the medication can kick in fairly quick but as it builds, you can then go backwards a little. Honestly give it a few days and bang … it’ll level out and you’ll feel better x

A missed opportunity to crush that particular hurdle! NEXT TIME! You will have your phrases ready in your back pocket. Dont beat yourself up. You actually did the right thing for that moment. Preparation is half the battle. You're still doing great!! 👍👍👍
