Not new knowledge, but it's worth reinforcing.:-

Particularly pleased to see yoga in there.

Spring equinox today, the lovely time of year when light takes over from darkness. A good time to check in. How are we all doing?

I’ve just got my new psych at Inchkeith House on Leith Walk and he suggested Thrive to do decider skills after I’ve done my pain management group this summer.

Is this something you’ve done?

I went to iThrive for an assessment first Andrew and it takes around 30 to 45 mins, from there they determine your need/s and refer you to the appropriate CPN, Ive had 3 sessions at Inchkeith House and have a 4th on Monday

My CPN is brilliant and my our focus is more on triggers and management, things that triggered my depression and anxiety and we are working through plans, its been brilliant so far and I cant praise them highly enough

Hope you are doing well mate 👍

Glad that all seems to be working for you.

I’ve struggled for 21 years with depression and anxiety and I’ve been diagnosed lately with Borderline Personality Disorder and also Fibromyalgia so dealing with a lot just now.

So looking at all options.

I will hopefully feel better after I go through the pain management group therapy but if not I’ll approach thrive.

Cheers.

Don't know if you are aware of a charity called Pain Concern who I used to volunteer for. Plenty of helpful info on their website.

Sorry to hear you are finding things difficult mate, hopefully the pain management sessions are helpful. I would suggest pop down to iThrive for an initial chat about your mental health, they have really good and experienced people out there who could support you

Thrive has a drop in service which will run between 10am and 4pm every Wednesday and Thursday at Norton Park just behind hibs West stand


Take care mate 👍

Hi Andrew, not sure if you’re into reading/audiobooks but I recently listened to Overcoming Unwanted Intrusive Thoughts by Sally M Winston which is a bit of a game-changer. I could be wrong, and forgive me if so, but with your depression and anxiety I suspect you may have spent a lifetime talking badly to yourself, telling yourself you are worthless and imagining worst case scenarios which then creates a horrible thought process? This book goes a long way to helping the reader understand why they do it and also how to combat it (inner voices).

I suffered badly from intrusive thoughts and would spend days/weeks ruminating over them and arguing back against these thoughts which simply perpetuated the pain. It was exhausting, debilitating and rendered life to be unenjoyable, I literally didn’t find joy in anything despite being front, right and centre of occasions that should have been full of happiness. This book completely changed the way I think.

I may be miles off the mark and again, apologies if so, but it would be remiss of me not to suggest it in case it helped. All the best to you 🤝
