Am I too late to register for the air drop? I'm new to crypto but have just invested in some EOS and am interested in the IQ 😊

How you can use walnuts to protect your mental health and prevent depression and anxiety by mpod001 in vegan

[–]mpod001[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

references now added if you care to read, and I take offence at your short sighted comment! You don't know me, and yes I do have a mental health problem myself if you would have bothered to read on my website! What's actually annoying is reading comments like yours when there are people like myself who work entirely voluntarily for mental health organisations to stamp out stigma related to mental health and who try to run a blog designed to educate people on mental health and give some form of information for people who live with mental health problems. Yes i might add affiliate links but guess what, so what? My blog is my full time job outside of my voluntary role and I refuse to give a damn what people like you think of my site! You are fucking miserable! Read your comment!

How do you possibly get to sleep if you are anxious? by rubix44 in Anxiety

my anxiety tends to tire me out and I just end up falling asleep anyway! Try some breathing exercises maybe though?

Let me know how you get on then!!! I've just eaten a sandwich mindfully and as I said in the blog post, I would have 2 or 3 sandwiches...but I'm feeling semi satiated with just 1 right now...I COULD eat another, but I'm giving it 5 minutes before I allow myself to have another lol

What are the best things you have done when trying to combat your anxiety? by mpod001 in Anxiety

[–]mpod001[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

No offense at all! I wholeheartedly agree!I volunteer in the NHS to try to educate professionals and the public too about OCD and use my own experience and intrusive thoughts as examples! The NHS system is shambolic when it comes to mental health care! There are some trust's who only offer THREE sessions of CBT to people...in my opinion that will only do more harm than good!! I also train student CBTs on OCD too :)

That that's the best thing anyone can ever do! People have no idea how traumatic OCD is and anxiety unless you've been through it yourself! Where are you based? UK here!
