What makes you anxious and sad?

[Sagie in reply to thatjuanguy]

not doing a trip I had planned and being anxious makes me sad.

What trip did you not do?

I was supposed to get on a plane to go visit my mom and I was not able to get on the plane.

Hi Sagie!

If there’s anything I can relate to, it’s sad. I have been excruciatingly sad many times and moderately sad for years at a time and honestly didn’t really realize it until I started feeling better. It’s a hard thing to deal with. May I ask you what you’ve done in an attempt to feel better? Sometimes we have to fight for a balanced life. To do that, we have to help/ take action to improve our situation. Medication alone doesn’t always do the trick. If you could elaborate a little, it would help me understand exactly what you’re going through. Let me know...

I am not currently taking meds. This is only a week old, but it is not the first time I have felt this way. I try to think positive and not let the anxiety and sadness take over. I try to keep busy because I know when I am bored it stays or gets worse. I need to focus more on thinking positive rather than letting the anxiety be in control. Someone once told me to remember to be in control and not let the anxiety be in control so I am working on that too

I’m just so sorry for your sadness. I sincerely hope you are lifted up very soon!

First I want to welcome you to the forum. How are you feeling today? Have you tried journaling? I know for me that getting my feelings out helps me to better face them and then deal with them. This is a good place for you to express yourself without feeling judged. I pray you are having a better day.

Hi I am doing better. My mornings are always hard. I have tried journaling, just not this time. Thank you for your kind thoughts.
