Lost.

I've been real lost the last few days.

Not knowing how to get myself out of this hole I have dug myself into.

I had been exercising daily, eating better and now I just don't see what the point is.

I really don't know what to make of this mess in my head. And I don't even no what all the crap it's yelling at me means.

I'm so lost in what to do, and if I should even try.

First thing to do is stop where you are right now..and b.r.e.a.t.h.e through your nose out your mouth inhale right from the pit of your tummy

Whatever your head is telling you just tell it to go away..you tell that anxiety voice in your head

" thankyou for being around but I've got this...I'm ok I'm a little angst but I'm ok" this is how I cope with my PTSD and anxiety I talk to it I know this sounds silly but the more I tell my anxiety I'm fine I can cope and talk positive in my head if my head tells me horrible things I tell my head good things you will be surprised how the voices in your head become more quiet but I know how hard these days are I've had a few myself this week or I put a elastic band on my wrist and I "twang"it and it helps concentrate on the twang on my skin rather than the vouce in my head xxc

It's worth it trust me I've had PTSD bipolar anxiety depression etc for over 20 years you need a coping strategy you will find it honestly it's natural and very normal to have these days just tell yourself it will pass by it has before so it will again

Hang in there. Tomorrow will be better.

That's what I say to myself when I am feeling down.

So Jseex, how are you feeling on wednesday? I'll come back to read it.

I’m not too bad

I’ve got the flu so that’s not helpful.

Hi Jseex, sorry to hear that, this weather is great but very tricky. Hope you get well soon. Hang in there, tomorrow will be better. Do you like football? Are you following this frantic football wave? While England is playing tonight I'll go to the gym for a workout, this way I don't get anxious with the game. What will you be doing?

[Hidden in reply to GoodDay2smile]

I haven’t ever been able to get into watching football, I played when I was a child though.

That’s a great tactic !
