Hi everyone,

Been a while since I posted in this thread. Had a horrible time of it last couple of months. Had a couple of trigger episodes that have started periods of anxiety, paranoia and physical responses to stress/anxiety such as the irritation in my feet and head. Been very distressing as I've not been able to shift it.

The constant irritation in my feet/head is getting extremely distracting especially in the run up to Christmas. I know from experience that MH at this time of year is the worst as there is so much to do and organise but with a MH issue its a minor miracle to think straight. This is causing me increased anxiety, stress, intrusive thoughts and poor decision making. The other night I was kept awake because of the feet irritation as you can imagine. Nothing seems to be calming it down at the moment.

I have spoken to my parents about it and they are very sympathetic but at a loss of how to help. They understand that I am struggling more than ever before with my mental health. Events that I should be enjoying, I am just not and all joy out this time of year is being sucked out. I'm just sick of living like this from one anxiety episode to the next. Just doesn't seem like life is worth it sometimes.
