I want to be okay again

[Msheatherlady]

So I’m not going to lie I’ve been struggling. Ever since Friday and with everything that happened my anxiety has been horrible and I can’t stop this feeling of thinking something bad is going to happen. I’ve been trying to keep it together, going to work and trying to go back to normal but it’s been so hard. I’ve been struggling with sleeping and I’m so exhausted. I’ve barely been able to eat and I feel like I’m falling apart. I’ve been holding it in trying to act like okay but as I’m writing this I can’t stop crying. I don’t know what to do or how to feel. I know what happened to me was traumatic but I feel around me just expect me to act like it didn’t happen and it’s really bothering me. I need some hope right now because I feel so hopeless.

Sorry I mentioned it in my previous post. I essentially woke up to smoke in my apartment and it scared the hell out of me. Thank you for reaching out. I really appreciate it

I am sorry to hear your anxiety and depression are getting worse. I have found that taking magnesium (magnesium malate is best) and ginseng helped me a lot w both, they calm the mind body and spirit and get rid of sticky negative thoughts the loop around in the mind. Also, getting outside, laying on the grass to get grounded and breathe in fresh air, looking at stars, these things help a lot too. Our environment help or hurt our mental health and physical health. Speak aloud positive truths to counteract the negative thoughts and things said to us. Also, Volunteering helps us get our of our own misery to help others, which helps us. Call those negatives a lie and correct them to yourself. Protect yourself from those who put that added stress on you and go out and do new challenging things, take classes, go t meetups. Learn new things, meet new people, it will get you out of the pit. Hope this helps you, blessings!
