Re: Am Not Coping
Tendons take longer to heal @Shaz51 so hoping it isn't for Mr. Shaz but knowing is better than not knowing.

Re: Am Not Coping
Thanks @Former-Member for your reply. I hope you, your husband & Holly are ok. I’m just tired of being me & living with this overthinking brain. I’ve got a headache from working at computer on a job application but that’s not the major issue. I’m mainly concerned about occupying my brain & body now & when I’m unemployed in 2 weeks as well as the impending medication changes/additions due to a recently diagnosed thyroid problem (it’s possbly due to medication which therefore may need to be changed/augmented with another antidepressant). I guess I just have to accept my brain & just work on a moment-by-moment approach

Re: Am Not Coping
Thanks for your reply @BlueBay & hope you have a good day too. Did you feel better (including mood) once on thyroid medication? I’ve got same headache I had last night & need to get an early start at work due to GP appointment in middle of day. How do you manage your brain if it’s constantly thinking?! Take care everyone @BlueBay@Zoe7@Former-Member@Shaz51@MDT

Re: Am Not Coping
Hope you GP appointment goes okay @Sam3. It has taken meds, sleeping and lots of time and practice to stop thinking so much. You are going through quite a lot at the moment so it is quite natural that you will be overthinking things. Try dealing with each thought in isolation and then putting it aside once you have dealt with it. Sometimes dealing with it means saying that you can't do anything about it right now but you are acknowledging the thought is there but it is not the time to deal with it. This does take practice to do and is not always possible when those feelings are so strong - tht is when distraction comes in handy - do something you enjoy, something that refocuses your mind in s positive way - could be as simple as a cuppa. I have Toby cuddles at those times as that takes my focus away from my thoughts and gives me a little heartlift also. It doesn't have to be for long - just enough to refocus our minds and get through those unwanted thoughts.
@Shaz51 Hope you slept well and work this morning is not too hard on you
