Blank

[Spirit19]

I have so much on my mind I feel blank ... I want to talk about it but I don’t know how to word it

I hate myself

Well.. I’ve been struggling mentally with anxiety and depression and my PTSD now that my attacker is dead I feel some kind of relief .

That’s all I know how to explain ...

You did well Spirit x

Life is like a never ending storm to me ... life around me is so bright but my mind is so dark and hollow ...

[Agora1 in reply to Spirit19]

I can understand that Spirit. Your mind is so overstimulated as to when may the other shoe drop. I believe out of protection for yourself, your mind takes you to this dark and hollow place so you can hide til the storm passes. xx

[Spirit19 in reply to Agora1]

The storm is raining all these thoughts that are bad onto me and I don’t know how to cope with them ...

[Spirit19 in reply to Agora1]

I just feel so lost

If you need to talk I'll give you my info. Call me. It doesn't matter how you say what you need to say. It matters that you say it.

I’m about to get back into meditation as it really helped in the past. It helps with the bad thoughts. It helps calm the mind. It helps to take notice of the good in present without judging our experiences as they unfold. It makes new neuro pathways so your brain actually gets retrained. If you want to give it s try Tara Brach has online meditations.

I tried tara brach. Didnt help.

[Starrlight in reply to PeaceNeed]

I hear ya… maybe try something else as not everything is for everyone

[PeaceNeed in reply to Starrlight]

Thank you for suggestion .

[Starrlight in reply to PeaceNeed]

How are you doing?

[PeaceNeed in reply to Starrlight]

About same high anxiety and very low mood with ptsd thrown in.

[Starrlight in reply to PeaceNeed]

Oh noooo I’m sorry. Is there anything to do that would lift you a bit do you think? I’m really stressed atm after a looooong day of homeschooling my kiddos and cleaning cooking etc I am trying to figure out what I need to get to a better place. I feel like exercise could reset my mind but my body just wants to sit
