Thank you Bryony for sharing this - it resonated so much! I’ve noticed signs of depression & anxiety creeping in before, but to read your approach & to give it a name, helps all of us to understand the importance of connection. I will remember this - to connect and to keep connecting with the world. Thank you.

Just what I needed to read today. Struggling with physical pain stopping my doing the things I love and catastrophising (if that’s a word!) off the back of it. That’s helped stop me so thank you 🙏

So helpful, thank you for the reminders. Isolating is a big one for me.

Thank you Bryony - a good and useful read. Being overwhelmed is one thing which resonates with me. I have a habit of putting social events into one lump and fretting about them all. Drives me mad, however, I am trying to think more in ‘the here and now’ and not calendar months ahead. X

Thanks for this reminder - I isolate when my MH is going downhill too.

Bryony your transparency here is so inspiring and its so encouraging for all of us who feel we are the only ones. What came to mind reading this is the saying 'its the things we least want to do that are the things that we should be doing' and generally after, feel glad that we did. Having a check in list or just a meeting with yourself is so valuable.

As always thank you.
