Feeling worse...

[mz_rachel]

So maybe I'm just in a complete rut. I feel kinda helpless, no self motivation, looking for another job. I'm overthinking things. I feel like my walls are getting small even though it's not. It's all in my head. And it's definitely affecting myself and everyone around me. I'm scratching more on my chest and I feel tingling sensations almost everywhere. My chest feels tight, the way I see things isn't how I viewed them before, just really down and discouraged. I know I should be doing things to self improve the way I feel l. I guess I just don't know where to start... I'm worried about my future, bills, I'm 31 and I'm afraid I may be late to have a family with my bf, getting a job, or opening a business someday for dogs. Sigh.. I'm just in a heavy rut. And bc of this I'm thinking there's plenty of things that can go wrong and thinking it's affecting my health.

The physical problems you have are all just part of the illness and as much as it sucks it's not going to kill you and the only way to help it is to help heal your mind. I understand completely, depression kind of puts a dark filter over everything that should be bright. It's ironic how depression makes you unmotivated when the best way to fight depression is to do things and try to change things. You're still young and even though things don't turn out the way you planned or things seem hard to attain theres always something in store for you and a way to get it done. The feelings always pass eventually, I wish you the best!

Hey hunnie, I'm sorry you are feeling down, I'm 33 and I just had a baby! 31 is a good age to start! When you start stressing about things you are making yourself get worried for things that are out of your control. We all fall on hard times, but we must keep our heads up! We can all get through this! Start thinking positive, I know it's hard but it will get better love!!! Once you stop worrying the physical symptoms will go away!!

Thank you so much! This means a lot... it's hard but it can be done! I'm glad to hear some of the things that I know for myself already. I'm here if you ever need to talk!

Okay, I also suffere from postpartum anxiety! I had it while I was pregnant! It's a lot trying to deal with that and be happy....ahhhhh! I just wish it would go away! But I know once the PPA goes away I will still have Generalized Anxiety Disorder!

Goodness... I can only imagine how rough it was =\. I know that we can just manage our anxiety even though it's hard!
