Thanks Tracy...

I hope your feeling better now and youve manage to go forward a bit since then?

I was ill about 5 weeks ago and found that for the next 2 weeks it was like starting over again! But i got thru it and i suppose the more you think its gonbna set you back..the more likely it will!

So ive decided even tho im ill ive made a list of things i can do today (which dont involve too much effort!) then at least im not sitting or laying thinking too much!

Do you work? Im not at the moment as still strugglingto cope with little things...but its my aim to be some time this yea even if its just a couple of days a week...its my aim but my foremost aim is to beat my anxiety and panic attacks and depression.

hi Tatty, Sorry you are feeling so ill, my daughter was sent home from school yesterday with the same thing and is ill again today. I am just getting over shingles and it has made my anxiety and depression flare up again and I feel like I am back to square one.

Hope you get better soon.
Enjoy your "friends" dvds, that programme is one of my faves and always makes me laugh!!
Take care
Love Lisaxx

Hi lisa

thats how i felt a few weeks ago after being ill.

I just have to remind myself how i felt after being ill and how i feel now...Its hard because Im so far off feeling the 'normal' I want to be...but if i look back I can see i am further on now that after I was ill.

Youll get through it....If you ever wanna chat im nearly always around on here now Ive descovered it!

Dont mess up the best things in your life, just because at present you are unsure who you are.

Hi Tatty
Sorry to hear you're not well, lets hope you'll be feeling a bit better tomorrow. I think being poorly depresses everyone, nobody likes being ill.
Take care

Hi Tattybear

Sorry you're not feeling too well. There appear to be a lot of bugs going around at the moment.

When you are feeling depressed anyway coming down with a bug does make you feel worse and it can knock you back a bit. For a start, you are not able to do very much when ill and tend to spend more time at home, giving you more time to think and ruminate, which only serves to make you feel more depressed. Distraction, even by watching DVDs, can help with this.

Also remember that although it may knock you back a little, it will not send you right back to square one as you have already made some progress and now know more about how to help yourself than you did right at the beginning.

I hope you feel better soon.
