Hi @tyme @L-B 

Hi Tyme, 

we were discussing strategies for combatting anxiety a few posts ago.

Have you got any others that might be helpful?

For me, from experience, exposure therapy (going slow and increasing bit by bit), and breathing through the experience each time.

When things are anxiety-provoking, I can feel myself remembering to take deeper breaths and slow down my breathing. 

It took me a long time to know how to do this. @Oaktree @L-B

How are you @L-B ?

Hi @L-B @tyme 

How are you guys going.

I am suffering from a bit of anxiety this week. Trying to push through.

Tomorrow I am taking hubby to the zoo.

Hey @Oaktree ,

Sorry to hear about the anxiety. Do you feel it's something you can work through?

Zoo? Lovely!

[L-B]

Hi @Oaktree @tyme , the zoo sounds like a great reward for getting through your anxiety. Hope you are able to make it @Oaktree .

How's everything going for you this week @L-B ?

[L-B]

Hi @tyme , I am disheartened by my job. I look for other work and cannot see anything suitable. It's hard to find a job that ticks at least several boxes. I feel undervalued where I am.

Awww @L-B .;

Maybe this is not the right job for you then? What do you think?

If you don't mind me asking, what field of work is it?

[L-B]

I don't know if it's the right job for me. I had high hopes of it @tyme  ...the fields I've broadly worked in include the arts and health. I will keep looking for other opportunities for now.
