I’m Exhausted

[AnxietyBucket]

I’m so tired of fighting everyday. It’s just constant intrusive thinking, panic, and depression. I go to therapy and I do my best but I’m just so worn down. I’m starting to have a hard time holding a job, which I can’t lose, and I’m so worn out from trying to simply make it through each day. I usually work 6 days a week and I finally got a consecutive 2 days off which is rare, and I can’t even enjoy them because I’m panicking about going back to work. I’m praying I get a breakthrough soon. The pain is becoming so unbearable.

You are not alone in that feeling.....

The bottle is filling up and you’re looking for more bottles to fill!

My bottle is spilling all over the floor through my fingers and ruined the rug!

The disease is trying to win...send some over to me I’ll carry your weight for a little bit.

I appreciate the support. I’ll help carry yours if you help carry mine.

I'm sorry you feel that way. Not trying to undermine how you feel as I'm sure you're doing all that you can to make things better. But I would suggest volunteering at someplace.

sometimes no matter how tired and worn down I feel, the feeling that I'm doing something for others not with the expectation of getting paid helps me to get going. Sending you my best wishes!

Keep praying - one day your prayer will be answered! Is there anything that you feel hopeful or positive about in life - you can focus on those. Every night before you go to bed, it would be good to do some deep breathing exercises and focus your attention on the positive things, however little they are. For example, that you got enough to eat and drink. Or thankful for any friends or loving family you may have. The deep breathing helps against panic. Also, try and get out in fresh air - that helps too. Hope you get some rest and peace in your heart.

When you get your break try to refresh. Anxiety can often be triggered when our lives are too full. You need rest, both physically and emotionally. This will help strengthen you. Take a breath and let yourself enjoy time of doing nothing... it might help try it. You sure do deserve it!!! HUGS!!!
