Feeling numb

Im doing ok, hanging in there, My sleep is a bit of a problem nowadays , either i cant sleep, or i overthink alot when my head is on the pillow i just dont want to go to bed , the tiredness and derealization makes me feel like a ghost or a robot, like everything is a haze, i just want this week to go well then i can work through everything

I worked through about half the things i got on my plate, the job interview, a couple events i had

But i have my driving test in a few days , im surprisengly not panicking so far, been praying alot, finding ways to cope , no one in my family really gets anything i go through, so i dont really say anything

The area im in is imposing a full lockdown tomorrow, again im feeling trapped and the anxiety is worsening , i try to stay optimistic but i dont recognize myself anymore , i cant wait to socialize again, go out soon, because this isolation, the excessive overthinking is really affecting me , i cant focus , even talking is hard , i have these obsessive thoughts that im fighting eventhough they just consist of irrational thoughts

Hey, you're doing really well, you've got through several things, like the interview that everyone finds stressful. You've got your techniques and you're coping . You're halfway through your list of things to do, you'll soon have finished them all.

I get the same feeling at times. Take a breather here and there an remember that you are only human. Not everyday will be a good day some days it’s going to feel like an obstacle and you will get over it. Praying is amazing I myself do that a lot. Even when I feel like I just don’t want to do anything or be around anyone.

You are remarkable, Kevin...

Every time I read your comments i can't help but say you're going to be fine.

Not everyone is able to articulate feelings so well ...it's amazing to me how much insight you have. Yes you're anxious but you know it & make progress.

Keep praying & i will too :)
