A confession and an update

So some of you might have picked up the idea already, some of perhaps not, doesn't matter. There was a thread made before guest posting was disabled. This thread had stated the state that their mind was in and asked for help. You see, that was me.

I didn't feel like I could openly discuss the thoughts that sometimes went through my head and felt that they were trivial to even worry about, hence the name "Probably Overreacting". It was a way for me to have an outlet on that troubling day, and I can only hope my problems didn't make anyone else sad, and thus, make my problems theirs.

So I also just wanted to say thank you to everyone that cared enough to help me out, although I was picky and choosy about what things I did and how to cope with the symptoms.

So what's happened?

The most important thing, I've become more content with my life and what I have achieved. I'm still occasionally plagued by the family problems at home but those are few and far between now but as said by someone else, I've been way happier just focusing on the things I can control.

Moneywise has been better. I no longer depend on Universal Credit, as I'm now working enough hours with SPAR to make more than what I was being paid by the guvvies, perhaps not enough to own a car yet, but enough for some freedom in choosing what leisure activities I do.

I did go see a doctor about this and ultimately it was a great help as they referred me to a wellbeing group and it really helped target what was going on in my head and the ways I could deal with it. I've been seeing the group for 3 weeks and my last visit is this Tuesday coming. I've been able to open up more with my family about this as well, my sisters have been very supportive about things putting some of my worries into perspective and help me understand why I'm feeling that they're a problem, and afterwards, feel like it's not much of a problem at all.

I've been keeping myself busy with exercise and overtime shifts at work, and made many new friends, although digital, that I've really enjoyed spending time with.

Sometimes I can still feel low but hopefully after everything I did I won't feel as low as I used to.

Thanks to all the people that helped, and all the people that were there in general.
