Anxiety wean update

I decided to come off anxiety medication a short while ago. Before I had meds for anxiety I don’t really remember what I was like as a person. Quite an unsettling thought really. What I gather from how I currently feel is that I think way too much, with the meds this was something that started to stop.

Now, I’m not saying it’s a bad thing to think, I have quite the opposite opinion. Overthinking however is not great and doesn’t really have a positive effect on your life.
The mind is weird and anxiety is weird. I know how my body reacts to anxiety and at the moment I cannot see a concern. I feel like I’ll have the right amount of rational anxiety when I finally expel this medication from my system.
But I’ll just have to wait and see.

Small wins

Small wins are big wins in life depending on your perspective. I touched my toes for the first time tonight doing yoga. This literally has made my day. SUPER PROUD. BCL says

How people see you

Morning, I’ll get right to it.  So, I was in the middle of a conversation with a work colleague today and another colleague joined in and I reacted to something they said. For some odd reason this made me think about how people see me. I can’t see how I look to others, my body language, my facial expressions, I’m blind to how I look to other people. I’m not sure how I feel about this, I mean I would really like to know how I look to other people.  Have you ever thought this too or is this just how my mind works? I bet you’re thinking about it now though right?  BCL says

Mental Health during lockdown

I never thought I would be able to say my mental health is in a good place, especially during a pandemic and a lockdown. Of course I have some days where I'm feeling a little down, but this is more due to boredom. I am fine, I sleep well, I can enjoy my day, every day for the most part (sometimes it can be a drag). I am so incredibly proud of my mental state and how I feel about myself at the moment. This post isn't to boast, I know there are people out there who have been through a horrid time during this pandemic and the lockdown, it's just gratitude for myself.  Having the cats, still having a job, having friends and family whom I can go through this hard time with does help massively, but being in a healthy mindset and having a good frame of mind, is most definitely the icing on top of the cake. I have a clear mind and clear (almost) emotions, I am so very, very, very grateful and again proud of myself. This means I win, GAD (Generalized Anxiety Disorder) loses.  I hope...
