Hello hopesearcher

I’m a newbie here too and I’ve just seen your post.  I can relate to some of your situation, as in the past I’ve been in a better financial situation than I am now too, and really it’s my own doing. But because of not knowing how to manage it, my long standing depression and anxiety, and no family support I am where I am now.  But I do have a secure place to live (although I don’t like it) and some other practical benefits so I keep reminding myself it’s not all bad.

I hope you are able to do that too. And you are starting work again too.  Congratulations on being able to do that - that is a great achievement for you.

Please tell yourself positive affirmations as often as you can.  Take deep breaths, close your eyes and say your affirmations keeping your eyes closed long enough to sense the affirmations right down to your toes -  write a few down in big letters and stick them to your bathroom mirror, on the fridge door, the wall beside your bed and other conspicuous places.

It will take some time, but I do wish you at least some success in a little while and then lots more to come. xxx
