Stressing out

[leiva0522]

Hello everyone I have been stressing out a lot these past weeks and have had a few meltdowns. I had a meltdown yesterday when I was trying to enjoy a few drinks with my family and I started crying. I have had a lot of my mind and I feel like not a lot of ppl understand. I am also 9 days late with my period and it’s driving me insane stressing me out even more. I have had two difference pregnancy test that contained two test in each box and all four came out negative. With my meltdowns that i am having where I feel alone and then my period being late it’s making it all worse for me. I just want to know if anyone else has gone through this or what to do. 😞😞

Excessive worrying always catches up with me! I have to leave the past in the past without ruminating over it because it cannot be changed. I only look into the future to make appointments and such as thinking about losing my house obviously produces anxiety. I try to live in today only focusing on things that I can change. If I can’t change it/have no control over it, I try to let it go. I find this very helpful. Stressing over things ends with nothing but a chaotic, stressed out mind. Classical music can be very relaxing and help you slow down and just breathe, thinking of pleasant things (I know! I’ve never liked classical music, but it’s soothing). Try Beethoven or Chopin. I’m hoping that you’re able to take control of your stress! Hugs!!

Hey. I have totally had this happen to me too. I stress out, then my period is late and I stress out more. Which I have come to believe makes my period even more late!! 😐

I agree with GratitudeFirst’s comment - focusing on what you can control, not what you can’t.

It’s hard at first. Something my cousellor taught me is keeping a worry log. Have you tried this?

Pushing away your worrysome thoughts will only cause them to push back harder and result in meltdown (I’ve had many of those!) but if you take short notes on a notes app or in a journal you carry with you, you can tell yourself ‘I’ve written it down. I’ll worry about it later.’

Then you can schedule a ‘thinking time’ each day, where you go over your list of worries. The things you stopped worriying about you can cross out and the things you are sill worried about you go thro and if you can do something about it you write down your action steps, if you can’t you journal about whether you could think about the situation differently. Often you will find your worries to be quite irrational and after a while you won’t worry all day anymore like you used to 😊

I hope this is helpful! Hang in there. You’re not alone though it feels like it ❤️

Great idea!

Thank you for this advice Bellaella94 I have never tried to write anything I felt before I will try it out. I have tried to clam down and relax but it’s always in the back of my mind but you are right I have to let it go and keep it in the pass so that I don’t keep stressing myself out. Once again thank you 💕💕
