Hi , I have had healthy anxiety for 5 years now, with episodes of good times and bad, I'm at the moment going through as rough period again . luckily I m due to start a second course of CBT. I have not worked in over 15 months ( I'm a Early Years Practitioner) I gained my level 2 and 3 with distinctions while within this 5 year period ( don't know how I got through it) Anyway through my own choice I turned down work ( I was based at the same Children's Center for 3 years as a Supply,) since then I haven't felt well enough to rejoin the working environment. The thing is I am now finding I have too much time on my hands, which is now beginning to have a negative effect on my mental well being ( Thinking all sorts about my health which then gives me physical symptoms). I was wondering if there's anyone out there in a similar situation and what do you do to fill your time? I did think about volunteer work ? Thanks for reading! X
