This is the place to put your achievement/s for today no matter how tiny they were to you they were a triumph xxhugxx:yesyes:

"Life is not measured by the number of breaths we take, but by the moments that
take our breath away"

Peace is not a passive attitude; it is an active state. It requires having constant attention in order to live and to respond as a peaceful being to any upset in life.

I had my second appointment this morning (Yes! NHS on a Saturday to cope with the demand) for mindfulness CBT. What with benefit problems I have, poor sleep and all my other stuff, I ended up just blurting out a load of stuff which made me "disassociate". A few minutes after I left, I started to feel the symptoms of a panic attack. I got home as quickly as I could. The only help I'd got from the session (because of me telling her more about all my stuff), was about how I could concentrate on my breathing and be aware of where my body was in relation to seats, or whatever I was sitting on. It did help despit my mental state as I managed just about to contain myself on the bus. It has taken me two hours to come down BUT I did it! I have not acted out with any of my OCD and I have eaten a banana to help with my depleted energy levels. I can't explain how hard this morning has been but I feel I am coming out of "it" now.

Thank you Lindy for this thread, as just writing this is helping me to stay calm and accept that the panic is almost over. Thank you Lindy.

Still I managed a small main meal and mint choc chip ice cream for dessert mmmmm

Packing again today, I now have a very bare lounge (apart form the tower of cardbord boxes in the corner) and am about to enter the kitchen lol

Have a great day

p.s. How do I get the bell? Oh copied it thank you.

[Pickle]

Hi Lindy :D , I got the bell from smileycentral.com, it was the only one they had but you can 'make' your own (to a certain degree lol)

I've tried finding more on other sites but none really do anything funny

Have a great evening :hugs: :hugs:
