I hate going to my CPN with problems so I thought I would post here. How do you cope with stress? I have been finding it strenuous to even think some evenings. My mind feels strained all the time. My CPN told me that I am far too hard on myself.

Sleeping helps reduce stress. Activities too. They keep you busy and take your mind off things.

there are things you can do if you get stressed, when i get stressed i try and leave the stressful situation or distract myself, it really depends on the situation, if i get so bad i have an anxiety attack i will sit down and drink water, or get fresh air, you got to find what works for you

In the UK you see your pdoc about twice a year and he overlooks your care while you see a CPN about once a month to catch up, get advice, talk about problems etc. I have not done therapy before, I may be soon but they said I should start work and have not too much on my plate for me to begin it.
You should meditate. It’s been a life saver for me.
Meditation
Good diet
Good sleep
Intimacy
Sex
Going for walks, physical activity
pets
there’s soemthing called 5 ways to wellbeing in UK that might be worth checking out on Google.

I have done mindfulness before which is ok. There is a person on soundcloud called Mark Williams who is pretty good.

I love to play Farmville 2 on Facebook. I have a farm on my computer and I feed animals and harvest my crops. Been playing this game for over a year.
I am feeling a lot better than yesterday, but I have been getting like this a lot lately. I think getting back in to mindfulness is a good idea.
Cool. It’s nice to have a plan.
