Will it really get better.

I don’t feel like I’m getting better. Bad thoughts. I don’t even know why I’m writing on here. I don’t know what to do. I’ve tried everything. Family trying to help all the time but nothing seems to improve. I’m sort of scared waiting for another big crisis. I’m taking meds that supposed to up your appetite. But I still don’t care for food, and never really hungry. Everybody talks about people being resilient, and that things will get better. And I just don’t feel like they will. Maybe simply writing on here will somehow help? I don’t know. I feel like a terrible person. I can’t even be strong for my wife and kids. And I don’t know if I will be able to still keep my job. Coming to work seems so incredibly hard and impossible. Everything is hard and I seem to life in perpetual fear.

Yes, try to relax and calm down try Guided Meditation youtube just google only 10 minutes or longer if you can do - this will give you deep concentration ability too

I hear you. It sounds like you are doing all the right things and being open about how you feel. I think that is remarkable and brave and shows great strength. It will feel like this and it does get better, sometimes not quickly. My only recommendation is the triumvirate of educating one's self on what is happening, counseling, and medication. My experience is that the meds don't fix things, but they do allow the mind to settle enough to focus on educating one's self and being open to the counseling relationship. A lot of the heavy lifting will happen in the subconscious. I hope that helps.

I'm at a point like the Howard Jones song, Things can only get better!!!!!! I know it's hard in these difficult times, but I believe in holding on to hope. Try to find some time, like an hour a day, just to be alone and relax and try not to ruminate and worry about stuff you really don't have a lot of control over.
