Depression

I wish it wasn’t like this. I’m constantly thinking of ways to improve or get out of feeling this pain and it seems there’s no escape. I woke up early - check. I did my breathing exercises- check. I got enough courage and talked about getting a promotion with my supervisor even though I was declined- check. Im hoping if I stick with a routine it’ll get easier and I’ll find myself in a better place. I just feel so stuck and I even scheduled an appointment with a healer. I don’t know what else to do. Anyone wonder or feel stuck? What even helps?

Feeling stuck is a constant for many of us as remedies take so long to "kick-in". What kind of healer are you wanting to see?

What meds are you taking? What is your diet like? Any exercise?

Hi. Feeling stuck in a vicious cycle is an awful feeling. I hate it so much. I ruminate on things to the point that my psychiatrist has used the the term OCD to describe it. It is unbearable and I am beyond tired of it. I latch onto an event and talk about it until I'm blue in the face. I swear everyone around me is sick and tired of hearing me talk about my latest thoughts. I just hope they realize that I'm sick and tired of it as well, but that I have a God-awful time of letting it go. You are definitely not alone.One thing I'm learning to do is to accept all parts of me (the good, the bad, and the ugly). We as humans hate feeling uncomfortable, so if something uncomfortable happens to us, we try and turn it around as quickly as possible so that we can once again be comfortable. I'm learning that I'm trying too hard to regain the control I've lost. Instead of trying to rush the process, I'm learning how to be okay with where I'm at each day. All we can do is our best.

I hope that you get some ideas from this.

I've been feeling stuck myself. Whenever I feel that way, I focus on my goals and Invision where I like to see myself in the next couple years and try to live in the moment. I also listen to music. 😊 Hope you feel better

Good job! Have you tried the Wim Hof guided breathing exercises free on you tube? The beginners 3 round? They are aggressive, but it’s good to see yourself progress. And they are so relaxing when done. Get 40 minutes of exercise daily. And after your shower rinse in cool water.
