I was good. I had it under control. Things were getting back on track. I was happy doing things. Then one small thing happens and now I feel hopeless all over again. WHY?? What did we do to deserve this? I was out. I felt like I escaped only to be recaptured under much harsh conditions. Iam tired.....Im just tired and just wanna scream. Iam not a bad person. I just wanna be happy.....
Its not fair.....its just not fair - Anxiety and Depre...
Its not fair.....its just not fair
I know you aren't a bad person Jrick. It does seem unfair that the good people
suffer through this. Maybe you do need to let it all out and SCREAM....CRY or
PUNCH a pillow. Let those emotions out. They say talking out loud and telling
anxiety off can work. And it does... Somehow, hearing our own voice put down
this bully in our minds can help the thought back off. It's our life...and we deserve
to live it. Don't forget to use Breathing to allow the built up adrenaline to come down.
Hey Jrick, It's called a setback. We all have them during recovery. Here's the thing...you never go all the way back so you never have to come as far as you already have. See it for what it is , anxiety in it's death throes. It knows it's days are numbered and it doesn't want to go. It will miss you . You've got this man.
Jrick,
That’s the unfortunate thing about recovery. One second, you will feel just fine and the next, your whole world is crashing. Take some deep breaths and give a big ole F you to whatever is bringing you down. Sometimes you won’t find anything good in a day, or a week, or maybe even longer, but if you can focus on ANY good thing, do that, and hold onto it tight. Things will get better, they have to, and you just have to hold on the hope that it will be soon. Best wishes.
