I’m losing hope

I been struggling with my anxiety since Sunday, I dread for the next day to come because my anxiety just seems to keep coming. I keep telling myself tomorrow is a new day and it will be better but I’m losing that hope because it’s just not going away and I feel like I’m going crazy. I just want to get at least a little better so I can be myself this person I’ve been the last couple days is not me ☹️

I’m really sorry to hear all this. Anxiety can be a b*** sometimes; but don’t give up. You just need to accept all your imaginative thinking and just let them be. It’s hard to control your mind. Sometimes it takes longer than days , you just need to found what helps you to stop being anxious. For example, I do meditation and I’m trying to work with my breathing when my mind start to go crazy or in a panic attack my mind think lots of unreal stuff. You need to dig deep in your heart and find what your souls need to calm your mind. Be careful and keep your head up. Big hug 🤗

Thank you so much! It’s definitely taking a toll on me loss of appetite losing weight crying all the time trying to figure out why I can’t feel normal. I do meditate and it helps at the moment and I try to do the breathing techniques too but when my anxiety just goes crazy at times it’s just hard to control but I will keep doing my best to try to keep my head up because my daughter needs me if it wasn’t for her I don’t know what I would do.

I’m so happy you can find a reason to get well. Sometimes it’s hard. Sometimes if we try to get lost the anxiety thoughts it will get worse. You just need to learn how to let them be and they will go away. It’s a nice video on YouTube about anxiety thoughts from headspace : changing perspective and underlying calm . Just watch it it’s really helpful. At least for me it was. You are normal, but maybe you just discover your true unique self . 😘

Yes thank you because tbh I feel like I’m getting lost as we speak with this anxiety it’s definitely beating me right now but I’m trying to not let it. I’m go watch that video on YouTube i will do whatever i can to see if it helps me. Thank you so much for hearing me out and responding i really truly appreciate you.

Anxiety comes in waves and it can be dreadful to the point where you don’t want to move off the couch and get dressed on your days off. I’ve had a few really really bad weeks where it seemed like it was never ending. Work was killing me, I had no one to talk to, no one to come see me, and I didn’t know what to do. I also felt like I was going crazy... it gets better. Just have to tell yourself that and find little things in life that brighten your day. Go for a walk, get yourself a nice dinner, and appreciate the small things in life. And it always helps to have people to talk to who relate, but when you’re hurting it may feel like no one wants to hear it, but those who relate will understand and help you through it. Hope this helps!

Sending you lots of love and hope that a new day is dawning that will free you from this anxiety. Your perspective is your first line of defense. Keep believing the best and each day find something to be grateful for! Focus on what is pure, right and lovely- think on those things. If you continue to struggle, I would encourage you to seek counseling. Having someone that can help you navigate this difficulty can be invaluable. Praying for you.
