Hello,
I do not mean this in a way others might (ie. it's in your head if you stop talking about it you will forget it's there). But just sometimes for me when I discuss it with family members sometimes it is positive and sometimes it really leaves me down.
It is constantly on my mind but less so when I sometimes wake up at night (and can fall asleep quickly afterwards and not feel sick during it, were as other times I wake up I feel more anxious) so I haven't had time for it to necessarily seep into my brain so much, which is what it does once I wake up in the morning and makes me feel worse.
Obviously not having stressful things on your mind is helpful but I was just wondering if anyone had tried a total ban about talking to others about it and (much much much much harder) not thinking about it as much.
I was thinking of trialling it in my family and seeing if the first thing (not talking about it) would help not thinking about it and maybe reduce stress and anxiety levels.
I know this could be particularly hard for those who need to ask for help because they feel unwell or maybe don't even have anyone to ask for help so I they don't verbally talk about it anyway.
It was just an idea and I was thinking of giving it a go and seeing if it helped (although I may have some appointments coming up which I am sure will be on my mind and be talked about, I will just have to see....)
