Hello. Im new to the forum and was just checking it out. I struggle with anxiety and depression myself and often denial and distraction are the only ways to go that allow me to function. Health issues recently have torpedoed denying things and with the coronavirus lock down and restrictions many emotional doors that I wanted to stay closed have been torn open.

Hi @LostAngel
Thank you for your post. I doubt anything nice will happen to me today but I appreciate the sentiment. I am struggling to sleep so I have gotten up to write a letter to my psychologist. We ended up in a bit of a tight spot on Thursday so I am hoping to sort it out. I hope things go well for you today also. How are things with special somebody? I hope that things are working out.
Best wishes,
Meggle

Yes, insomnia not a healthy condition. Sometimes I lie awake till 3.30am restless, twisting and turning, mind racing. Thankfully I don't have to get up early in morning for work at airport due to stand-down.

I was awake till 3am this morning, insomnia is terrible. Thank goodness I don't have to work airport shifts at present, I would be exhausted.
