Feeling to Much

[Optimistic_22]

Hi everyone hope everyone is well. Where do I begin? Well life is so hard with having anxiety and depression. It’s almost unbearable at times. I’m at a point where I’m just so saddened and feel defeated. It can isolate you , make you say more then needed out of nervousness, have outburst of yelling at loved ones, trapped in your own skin, feeling unaccomplished. Sorry I’m very emotional right now. I feel like running away. I love all people but feel misunderstood at times and envious of people who don’t go through this on a daily basis. I want peace.Sorry don’t mean to be a downer just being honest and searching for much needed answers. I just want a clear direction on how to deal with anxiety on a daily basis? Communication skills get in own head have a hard time listening, staying focused and often talk over people? Any advice appreciated?

It’s hard mines horrid low iron other things. You have to retrain the brain it’s annoying. Working on yourself daily and being selfish doing so have you gone to CBT therapy? That letting go of your ideas of what you should be and accepting yourself right now and not reacting but changing your behaviour. Forgiveness to yourself.

Family is easier to be mad at in person it’s a safer space. Self Regulation issue as over taxed no control too long and they’re used to your crap lol and their reactions chain reaction of crap. You be honest and their reaction to that will take time. You say you’re feeling overwhelmed and you want to discuss the matter (at hand) and that you need time so you can do that not get mad. They’ll probably yell or say something because it’s what happens usually but you excuse yourself and go to your room and you breathe and you keep breathing say nice things to yourself I can be calm I can be peaceful I am a good person I am trying I am in a process of new good choices. And then you talk therapized with them. Say thanks for giving you time I understand you wanted this or that is that what you were saying? You wait for their response always bringing it back to the matter at hand even if swearing comes up their end you have the right to say no or yes or I’ll think on that. You have to acknowledge your own self and their feelings and be heard and hear them. You need to slow the crap down. The less said is more said with better words. Maybe you could talk to therapist about how to be an active listener how to have a conversation/communication. Your home stuff sounds like it’s a priority. It will help reinforce your self talk to yourself your CBT into play which will help your self esteem. I do EFT tapping check it out on YouTube I make goals for the week even small steps are good steps so it declutters. I walk and sit in a cafe even crying I don’t give F anymore I’m going through hell its my life what matters is better choices and getting through doing more right than wrong. Maybe buy those books about of not giving a F I looked at some read one pretty good book really and easy to read it’s quite therapized for the layman.
