Thoughts

[Spirit19]

I’m tired of the constant thoughts racing not able to keep up with them. I don’t know what I’m thinking about half the time. Going to therapy trying to talk too my therapist , but I just shut down . I just want to see the bright light again instead of drowning .

People say time heals , to me it hasn’t healed. It’s like my brain is broken. Drowning in my thoughts , no matter how much I talk about my feelings it doesn’t help. I was in psych many times and I felt safer there , yet I don’t know why. I don’t know a lot of things . I wish I understood why I feel the way I do.

Your therapist should try a new approach i use to shut down, my mind was too chaotic to be able to form a thought even a sentence so he would start slow asking me short questions and i would either write whatever was on my mind when i could and email it to him then he'll bring it up in the next session.

I heard a quote today from someone with mental illness. “I’m not just battling the world out there. I’m battling the world in here too.” It’s true for us. We have double the racing thoughts, double the anxiety, double everything. We were given this challenge and no one knows why. We have to find the right therapist to open up to. We have to find the right medication. And we have to find the right way of dealing with our thoughts. Breathing exercises, essential oils, getting into a tv show, writing, do what you can to not overthink. We’re here for you 💕

I had therapy today and I drove myself which I hate doing . I got there safe . But as soon as I parked I burst into tears , I called my therapist from the car and she cane out there to get me. After the appointment my step mom came from work to get me because I was not stable to drive I knew I’d do something bad. I just wish I could open up to my therapist more I freeze...
