I’m at my Breaking Point

[spud0508]

Can’t handle much more of this. Can’t handle feeling lost and alone. Can’t shake the anxious feelings.. and the worry causes me to not be able to sleep at night. My mind never stops racing.

Don’t give up it will subside. I too suffer from racing heart, mind and trouble sleeping.

We are all here for you when you want to unload.

I hope it does. Because I don’t know what else I can do at this point.

You think you can't handle it but you can. Many on this forum will feel like this. All you need to do is hold on... Don't put any pressure on yourself. Be kind to yourself and just try and accept this is how you are at this moment. Your brain will begin to heal itself over time. I find the best thing to do is to not fight that feeling. I just imagine it sitting on my shoulder and don't pay too much attention to it. It gets easier - your brain, believe it or not, actually gets bored of the same thoughts in the end and then the fear subsides. Once you've gone through the cycle a few times and come out the other end each time you will begin to trust in yourself a bit more. It is a horrible feeling and I promise you I know what it feels like but it honestly does get easier. I never used to believe that there was any way it possible could when I was younger so I know how scary that feeling is. Just remember...it really isn't forever.x

Hi spud have you started your therapy yet? When are you as you said in one post it would be soon. Are you on any meds? x

[spud0508 in reply to Hidden]

No I haven’t started yet. Should be getting a call about it today. I’m really nervous.

[Hidden in reply to spud0508]

It's natural to be nervous but the caller will understand you know. You are not the first person ever to feel like this and they will expect it. Go for therapy and get some meds and you will start feeling a bit better. It will take time though but you have lots of hope there. You will be getting the help you need and which will help you.
