Let me know if you’ve ever experienced something similar #lifeupdate #gardening #wellness Hi everyone welcome to another Saturday evening in the garden reflecting after a rather strange anxious period in early hours of Friday morning.
Be kind to yourself Graeme, you’re at a bit of a crossroads which is daunting but you’ve got it 👍. Sharing how you’re feeling is so positive and your partner Sarah sounds so supportive. Take care ❤
I know the feeling all to well. I've had mental health problems for too many years now and the best advice I could say is don't put any pressure on yourself. Took me a long time to realise that, especially after having to leave work behind for a few years. You have a nice supportive family so just take it one day at a time and enjoy the sun 🌞
Mate, being made redundant is a type of grief, soo, go with the flow, don't push yourself, let it take its path, don't run before you can walk, you need to chill this summer, address possibilities in autumn, hope this helps
Gardening is therapy You had a panic attack try meditation it works for me ❤ Do what makes you happy try new things be risky we are only here for a short time ❤
That sounds like a panic attack that you’ve had Graeme. Keep a paper bag close by and breathe into it once your breathing is sorted the panic attack will subside.
Hey Graeme, you really need to take a step back and just relax and not put pressure on yourself too much. Like someone has already said being made redundant is a really big deal especially when you’ve been in that organisation of structure and routine for many years. But I’mwondering what else is going on. For alot of people Counselling doesn’t help at all. From a personal experience you can go there and talk about things that you didn’t even think were an issue but it’s a way to offloaded the thoughts and deepest feelings in your mind and in return that person/counsellor should be able to help you make sense of it. I think it’s really positive that you’re speaking out about real issues in your life, but don’t get overwhelmed and look into getting some help with this. I’m a psychiatric nurse and I’ve seen how when untreated anxiety and mood disorders can become debilitating. You’re a great guy and have an infectious personality. I love watching your vlogs and I hope you get so solace from talking about it. X
