So, after my stroke I have such bad anxiety. I literally feel like I might die at any given moment but I guess that’s because my stroke happened without warning. I kept busy with work but since I was made redundant I’ve found that working with beads and chains and clasps and bead crimps is really keeping my anxiety at bay because I’m busy and I haven’t got these thoughts in my head. Not only that but I’m creating new neural pathways because I’m working on things that are new to me so it’s kind of therapy too!
