Whack-a-Mole

I feel like I’m playing whack-a-mole with my mental health, and losing. My mood lifts slightly and anxiety runs wild.

Today I had a panic attack for the first time in as long as I can remember. Then my Dad and brother came over (unplanned) and I found out my Nana has been in hospital but nobody told me. Also I feel like family expectation is going to kill me sometimes. I don't know how I'm going to tell them [if] I decide to leave uni. I just want to be me.

I started the day feeling okay and a bit positive and now I just feel all over the place and anxious and panicky and the intrusive thoughts are really bad and I’m just so sick of this.

In my bid to keep spreading awareness of depression, I've written another blog: https://naomi-jane.com/2017/01/22/i-want-to-try-and-help-you-understand/
