6!

Oscar is now 6! Can't believe it's been so many years!
I've been absent due to poor health. I was put on medication for IBS as it just got intense, unfortunatly it didn't work but did give me side effects which led to high anxiety. Feeling quite exhausted I asked for something to calm my nervous system down - they too caused side effects  and led to a downward spiral and full on panic attacks so I stopped taking them!  Blooming typical! I've avoided meds for anxiety in the past as I felt they were just a "sticking plaster"  and not a long term solution.  I was unable to drive and if it were not for Oscar I would not have left the house! Oscar was literally my life saviour! I started to do walks in the woods again - not done this since I broke my leg! I can manage 30 minutes but it feels so good to be back in the woods.
So I'm making slow progress in recovery on the anxiety, IBS pain is still a daily constant!
