Anxiety

[Moon13th]

I've got anxiety, i can't sleep and i'm so depressed 2 weeks ago, really I'm feeling so sad.. need help.

I feel ya!! I can’t fall asleep until like 1 or 2 every night for the last 2-3 weeks. Do you have a self care plan? My therapist had me work on one and it helped me to see what I wanted to do for myself when I am depressed or extra anxious.

My therapist said me write a journal, but i can't, really i feel so bad, I just want to die.

I’m so sorry... 😥 usually when my anxiety is that bad I just talk to someone about my feelings. Or if I feel like I can’t, I write them out. I just write and write and don’t think about making it sound nice or perfect I just write out everything that comes to my head. Sometimes that’s just the best part. To have it out of my brain. And then I cry until I can’t cry anymore.

What about when you don't have friends? What is my option? talk with my window about my problems, and falling cry?

Awww I’m so sorry. :(((( I feel like even when I do have friends that sometimes I “don’t” have them. Or I feel embarrassed or ashamed to tell them my thoughts. I honestly have talked to my plants or my dog. And sometimes, maybe this is weird, but I’ll just talk out loud to myself. I do it when I drive home from work, or just wherever I find a quiet space. I don’t personally believe in a god necessarily, but I will talk to the universe. I just talk until I don’t have anything to say. Sometimes I will cry and ask why this is happening. It doesn’t solve my problems necessarily, but it helps me to just get my thoughts out of my brain.

Sweetie, see if you can get in touch with your therapist right away. This sounds like your in a bit of a red alert. Most therapists have phone or virtual appointments available during the Covid 19 protocols. Please don't give up on yourself.

Cold showers might help. Pair that w meditation has done wonders for me.

I also see a counselor once a week. Just talking to anyone is very helpful
