Hiya

Welcome Back :+1:

In 2003 I Caught the ‘Flu’ From a Work Colleague …It Knocked Me For Six for Several Weeks…It Attacked My Whole Body System…And I Never Really Recovered From the After Effects

DOH…Benefit of Hindsight [SARS Was About…But Unlike Today with COVID]
We Didn’t Know

Anyway…Re Mental Health…‘Been There, Done That, Worn the T-Shirt’ as They Say

Also Have Professional Level Knowledge/Research

[So…Maybe Able to Afford Support…But This Should Be Private via PM]

Here If U Need Me

But Perhaps Meanwhile Look at

Stress
Locus of Control
Maslow Hierarchy of Needs

Kindest From Me & Bullit :smiley:

Remember You Are Intelligent & Articulate & Talented

Evidenced By Your Ownership of an MX5 for Starters :grin: :grin:

Been so poorly…. Like for some reason it’s really attacked my body and I can’t really walk far or at all tbh. I’m not in pain… I just feel weak, like my legs don’t belong to me!
It’s the weirdest feeling…. I’m pretty sure I’m over the worst of it as I can make food and shower, I couldn’t before…
still classed as a fall risk so I’m glad I live in a bungalow lol.

Thanks for all the kinds words… need some strength back as I got some mods to do to the car! But alas… one step at a time.

Really appreciate this… it’s a hard one for me as I’m so out of touch with reality at the moment… and considering I live alone I struggle even more so….

Hey Amber… Was thinking about you the other day. Sorry to hear you’ve been so poorly - You and me both cope will mental illness, so hoping you in a reasonable place right now…
I live alone too, but for me, I live happier with stretches of boredom than hassle from others…!
Thankfully the days are drawing out and it’s slowly getting warmer, so MX-5ing will be a welcome release I’m sure… Good to have you back Amber…!

Hi Again

Nothing Worse than Being Home Alone When Poorly :face_vomiting:

I Also Live Alone in a Bungalow and If Memory Serves Me Correct We Are Not That Far Away From Each Other ?

Have PM’ed You My Post Code

Well Said :+1:

Especially Liked Your Reference to…‘Hassle From Others’

But There is a Difference Between ‘Mental Illness’ and ‘Mental Health’ Issues

Most of Us Suffer From the Latter

In Other Words…We’re Probably Not as Crazy as We Think We Are :exploding_head: :crazy_face:

The Research Points to ‘Self Awareness’

The Trully Mentally Ill Don’t Have This Insight

I suffer quite badly with bouts of it… I try hard to correct certain situations, mental stimuli and sleep routine etc.
I read up on a lot of stuff and activity try and pursue these techniques to better myself… I’ve lost a ton of weight from the stress!
My doc has put me on some tablets and one of side effects is over eating … so let’s hope I get bigger as I cannot afford to loose much more!! I’ve always been small mind, but seriously lacking the curves lol
