My mental health has seemed to spiral out of control. I can't make heads or tails of it. My neck and back are always stiff and hurting. My mind is playing tricks on me with depersonallization and racing thoughts and thoughts that don't seem to make any since at all. I have been checked out by many doctors a clean bill of health. I'm just extremely frustrated.
Never ending : My mental health has... - Anxiety and Depre...
Never ending

We are in the same boat Worried... and I hope you are getting enough sleep because when I go to bed and can't turn off my brain, bad thoughts race through and dangerous thoughts to myself. Are you sleeping enough??
I have tried just hard to do with winter going on and covid
For me, I’ve had two episodes of anxiety manifesting itself physically. First time it hit my stomach. I was completely disabled and it lasted way too long. Now it has decided to settle in my shoulders, neck and head. Depending on my level of anxiety determines level of pain. Sleep is a guarantee of relief, Tylenol and ibuprofen. So I’m constantly doing battle to reduce the anxiety. How long this go around will last? I was recommended to use a moist heating pad to relax the muscles in my neck. It does help. But I can’t drag it around the house. I do notice that when I force myself to leave the house the pain subsides, so distraction seems to work for me. So, yeah, I know where you’re at friend. That’s my story and I’m sticking to it. ❤️🏄♀️
Totally relate. My mind and thinking are off from the stroke yet i also have been dealing with depression anxiety a few things and I'm very tired and mind feels fragile yet reaching out to others does help. Have you had a chance to google some things or have your local library put a book or two on hold for you? Listening to different kinds of music helped me. Classical music Simon and Garfunkel Jim Croce Enigma Abba Native American chants Tibetan meditation music. What kinds of music do you like? What movies give you hope or warm your heart?
