English Opinion

Hi all. I know I wrote a post a few days ago but aside from that, I have effectively been absent for well over a month. This is because I hve been struggling to cope with my depression and anxiety. Actually, struggling to cope isn’t the phrase to use - not coping would be nearer the mark. I’m currently getting help on the NHS, the British National Health Service, but am no closer to getting counselling. Why? Because I have to do a computer program (CBT - Cognative Behavioural Therapy) first before I can get access to a counsellor. Now I’m sure that there is a reason for that but when you’re feeling like you want to kill yourself every day a computer really does not help at all!

I am slowly but surely starting to get back on my feet and deal with depression. Of course, the economic situation and uncertainty in the Uk at the moment does not help but I am starting to get back into a routine with a few aids and tools. Aside from medication, I’m finding that Yoga helps me to relax no end. I can just float away mentally for a few minutes and return more balance. This is only a temporary fix but it is really helping me to get through tough days. I’m probably going to be writing more on this in the coming weeks so I’m going to leave it there for now (if I’m ever stuck for a topic I’ll have something to talk about!).
