anxiety - 19/8

Sitting having a muffin and a drink in a shopping centre and watching the world go by.

Well that is what it seems to someone who looks at me. Inside my anxiety is at a point where it could go either way. I totally feel like everyone is staring and judging me. I feel like there is a spot light right above my head and the light is on full. Am I the act of the day?

Conversation inside my head of - it's you they are looking at. There judging you sitting there by yourself. Do I have something on my face that I don't know about?  Do I look silly? Are they judging you for what your eating, drink, the way your dressed, your hair?

Judgement, fear, tight chest, fidgety, questions - words related to everything to do with this scenario.

My obsession with counting things for reassurance has started so my brain is obviously trying to cope. But oh my god it is tiring.
A want/need to disappear and find some place of comfort is real. I'm feeling every vibration, the noise level to me seems loud. But I know it probably isn't.

It got pointed out to me that if I put my headphones in and became ingrosed in my phone in the middle of a crowd it might not be the best thing for me. I won't interact.
Well I can tell you that if sitting in a cafe with it busy all round me and not being distracted by something and feeling like i have a coil winding up so tight inside that if it releases its gonna be bad. Then I'll pass thank you very much.

Sales/wish list

Like many I will be doing the sales this year. But it won’t be till the end of the week (let’s hope there is stuff left) A girl can dream right, the presents that weren’t received or the things you have your eye on hoping they come down in price. For me going into 2018 there is a few things that I would like to see if they are in the sales or at least within budget due to getting money to spend. I’m going to start a fresh with 10,000 steps a day so a new set of headphones would definitely be needed as the ones I have I spend more time trying to keep them in my ears than listening to anything. I think I would also love a new jumper as I’m known for wearing the same ones until they hole. I so really need to find new things to listen to as well. With a specific present i got I’m wanting to buy a ring that can wear everyday. The money was from my grandparents and we lost my gran the middle of the month. So something to wear that reminds me of her I think might be nice. I used to alw...

If this week has taught me anything

If this week has taught me anything it’s that the grief monster can hit at any time and totally floor you. That three years feel like just yesterday. And that there is people around to give a hug when needed. So last night in the midst of volunteering it hit me like a ton of bricks. The tears started and it took me a long time to proper calm myself. I’d manage to tell the coach right at the start of the night that i was struggling and that it had been a hard week. That it felt like just yesterday that he’d died and not nearly three years. I’m lucky with the fact that the coach I work with also was my husbands coach so that in itself is a help. I’d managed one class and was more than half way through the second when a shot I threw was called rubbish and one look to the other lady that coaches with me and I was a mess. If I hadn’t of already been sitting on the floor I think I might of ended up there. Luckily for me she also knows my history and shouted on the main coach who got to me...

When another blog makes you think

       https://the-true-me.co.uk/index.php/2018/06/26/just-be-you/ When I first read this post it spoke so much to me. Being just a couple of years older a lot of what was written could of been written by me but in the female form.  I’ve let so much define me and given myself so many labels that i have lost track of who I truly am and what I am about. Growing up I didn’t fit in and was bullied and let it define me. I have never seen myself as having friends. No one that I could turn to if I just needed a chat.  One label that until eight years ago I didn’t know I had was mental health sufferer, it’s one I’m glad to have now. It doesn’t define me but it is making me start to accept me.  I’ve tried to please everyone without pleasing myself. I hope that choices I make from now on are for me and not everyone else.  Life’s to short.
