Tired of it all the constant mood changes , hate my job, can’t work without having an anxiety attack , can’t stand being around people ... I just wanna be okay...

I fight similar feelings everyday and for me something I have been working on is finding one positive thing that happens everyday and trying to focus on that. I tell myself things like "well I know this happened but here's this good thing that happen" in an attempt to replace the negative with a positive thing so I don't focus on the negative quite as much. I've found that once I manage to identify one positive thing all sorts of positive things high light themselves. I've chosen a friend that holds me accountable for my one positive thing a day. I've been at this for a week now. I can't 100% say it works forever but I will admit it's working for now and that's ok! Any improvement is good improvement!

I like that you are replacing negative with positive. I’m trying the same and dometimes it helps but I can’t seem to keep up with it as my thoughts race but hey we do our best that’s all we can do.

I pretty much feel the same way. Very stuck and don't know how to move. More like can't figure out what I wanna do. Sad angry frustration come to my mind. Sometimes at work too! Anger today helped fuel my fire to get through the work day. Just got home a few minutes ago and now I'm sad.

I hope you find away for things to get better for you!! Hugs!

Maybe try to give yourself a break. Make sure you are letting yourself be you and love you for who you are with all the struggles and all. Try not to put too much pressure on yourself to be or feel a certain way. Sometimes we need to accept and go with the flow and stop trying to control everything. That’s what I am working on right now. Best to you, beautiful Spirit

Try to focus on the positive but also try to conquer at least one thing each day. That way you keep moving forward and can see something good that happened each and every day. Did you hate your job before the anxiety kicked in? If so, perhaps its a signal that it's time to look for a different job -- having to go to a job you don't like definitely doesn't help anyone's mood and when you add anxiety into the mix that IS so very hard. Do you have a therapist who you are working with? If you do be sure to be completely honest with her -- that's the only way they can help and trust me, they've heard it ALL before!!! ;-) Praying you can find some good today.
