Hello Oluwatojumi.

First of all welcome to the forum - it's nice to see you here.

Do you have atrial fibrillation or just a high heart rate ? If your vital signs are normal that's great news - I think we are all experiencing worry and concern at the moment - this is to be expected.

I have just looked at your profile and you say you are suffering from loneliness and depression. With this lock down it's understandable - things will get better I promise you.

Try to relax for while and know how you are feeling at the moment will pass. People on here are very helpful and I'm sure will offer some advice about your concerns. You are not alone and we all feel a bit down in the dumps at the moment.

Looking foward to catching up soon the forum. Keep well and keep safe.

Best,

Paul

I’m sorry to hear what happened to you. There are no magic words that going to solve your problems. I’m sure you heard them all. Know this there is only one cause for any

Upset feelings we as human have. And that is not getting what you want ! If your being upset is because you didn’t want what happened to your can’t change the past. If you keep awfullising over it you’ll never get over it

Hi Oluwatojumi - nothing can change what has happened in the past - counselling can help put things in perspective to some extent - you can get it through your GP but possibly not at the moment.

If you look inwards a lot, particularly at what has traumatised you, you are in danger of re living the trauma all of the time which will probably lead to fear, anxiety, depression 'fight or flight' response which will leave your mind and body stressed and your heart racing/thumping.

To try to combat this you may find it helpful to distract your mind onto other things - books, films, talking to positive friends, but most of all through exercise - any exercise. You will find that exercise is a useful distraction and it helps burn off the adrenalin and stress hormones that you are triggering dwelling on past events. Relaxation techniques are also useful as your body can over time get into the habit of holding onto stress (you tube has a lot of breathing exercises that can help let your body relax)

Best of luck in finding your way out of this situation, keep well - remember you will benefit from focusing outside of yourself rather than inside of yourself at this time.
