Anxiety
I'm suffering from anxiety at the moment and have had to take some time out to get myself better. The past year has been hard for everyone and I've managed to get through it but the past few months have been particularly hard and I've had to take a break. I found myself having regular headaches, often as soon as I woke up. Sleeping has been hard and nightmares are quite regular. I struggled to concentrate at work and started to feel tired and grumpy a lot. Feeling like this for months at a time was exhausting and I could feel myself diving into a dark hole. After a while, the most basic and simplest of tasks became hard. I started to have heart palpitations and would get into a negative loop which would leave me paralysed with anxiety. I decided to take time out to get myself better. I realise it will be a long journey but I feel I have taken the first step to recovering. Speaking to a councillor is very helpful, just knowing somebody understands how you feel and can help y
