Your ex sounds like a total gaslighting, manipulative, nasty piece of work. Isn't he a sad individual who feels the need to do this

Re: Struggling
I'm back at work today. I actually felt sick, not with the thoughts of it, but with the thoughts of being professional, competent, catching up..you know.
I noticed some anxiety and awful thoughts creeping back (I get a lot of intrusive thoughts, negative, guilt) and I changed medication so I know I need time to get used to it. Finding eating tough with it and notice my face flaring!
My gp has referred me for a particular service so waiting to hear on that.
My appointment is Monday for another service.
Anyway, I sound like the interview queen (far from it) to see that I had been called for an interview this evening. I appreciate they were trying to give me a chance to attend and I really appreciated it...but I'm just not able right now. So I declined. Not sure if anything sense will emerge before I go but I just couldn't right now.
Work has been great and very supportive.

Re: Struggling
Shinning you have enough going on so.glad you declined the interview as you do not need that additional stress

Re: Struggling
Shining, I think that it shows great strength to know that going for the interview now would not help you in any way.
I hope that your appointments go well. I understand the anxiety but hopefully the medication will kick in soon and things will start to improve.

Re: Struggling
I thought I would update this thread, prompted by a lovely HM who was thinking of me ❤.
It's more than a month and honestly I have come on so much. I'm coping with life so much better; I have tried to deal with things; I'm not beating myself up; I'm not consumed by self loathing, guilt and worry...I suffered terrible anxiety and its much more manageable.
I'm trying my best to look after myself. And so far doing quite well.
Honestly the difference in me is not quite night and day but certainly significant.

Re: Struggling
Great news! I think I posted this about this book already, its called ‘overcoming unwanted intrusive thoughts’ and it gets fantastic reviews, I think loads of people get them in some shape and this book shows you to get rid of them, for good.
All the very best, I’m delighted for you.
