Motivation, but not the will.

[princesarr]

I always ambitious thoughts to better myself in life. I always have goals, I plan them but something always happens and I shut down. Then those goals are kept in hold. It feels like I'm stuck in a circle and when I tried to get out, it come back to the same spot. The same routine, same people, same issues and the same anxiety. I haven't seek professional help, since I though I could get over it myself. However this has been going on for the past 3 years. I have so many opportunities available to me, yet my will just shut down. I'm not sure what type of help I can get or should get. I get stress over the little things. Anxiety from people. I have issues with my communication skill with my family and friends.

You have a lot of good positive plans and goals. However, you need to identify what keeps holding you back, these anxieties and fears. They've come up into your mind and you must face what they are.

How do I know what they are? Like them seem to be too many. Is there a way to identify them?

That's exactly me. I'm trying to get help too. I have all these goals in my mind and sometimes I try to work towards it but if it isn't the husband the mother or the family messing with my emotions. I lose will and I feel terrible about it. I know I need to be stronger than that but it's hard when you have no one close by to understand you. Trust me it's really hard when you feel like that.

I have the same exact issues! I finally decided to seek help and I’m about to turn 33. Tell your family you want to get help and u think u might have depression or anxiety. Then, get an appointment to see a GP and explain to them your anxious thoughts. I went and explained to my new doctor my anxious thoughts and she has really helped me a lot so far. I’m currently on Vistaril because I have anxiety and insomnia. I also had to do a blood and urine test to rule out any other health issues. I will see a psychiatrist in about a week. It’s hard to ask for help but u have to go to a doctor at least. I tried dealing with it on my own and I just couldn’t anymore.
