Lost

[Lindsey14]

On the verge of breaking down, i hate this, i hate feeling so overwhelmed and out of control. I just want to feel me, to feel real, to just be normal. I keep thinking what if im just crazy and if never was anxiety and depression. Im so lost

I feel this exact same way... I find myself constantly so angry with God because like what good is this? why couldn't he have just made me normal? And I feel like it gets in the way of my relationships... of my whole life

Hi!

For me, feeling “normal” just isn’t going to happen! I can only do my best to help myself on a daily basis. I have grown to accept this mental illness and its impact on my life. I do what I need to. It takes work/action on my part. I have read that we should embrace our difficulties as they produce experience and character. These qualities are needed for the future and to potentially help someone who’s struggling with your testimony. You can fight back and do this! It’s more than possible to be comfortable in your own skin! Wishing you the best!!

Anxiety and depression are very hard to deal with but you can overcome them with a lot of work. Have you considered going to a therapist? Sometimes it helps to talk to someone about your feelings. Keeping a journal of your thoughts is also beneficial for many. I like crafts and use my creativeness to feel better. Diet and exercise is also useful to combat those issues. Eating less processed foods and moving more improves my mood also. I hope that you can develop the coping skills that work for you.
