How do people stop them selves spiralling from worry into sadness. I just got some news that made me really angry then sad that someone's taking advantage of my good nature and totally screwing me over. Its not something I can change now but it hurts and it's making me sprail. Everyone around me says I should just try to forget about it and move on as I can't do anything about it. But it's just so unfair.
Life is so hard. It feels like I'm not normal. I can't just let things go and be happy again. I find it so hard

Hi there dont bother about the things you can't change just now and concentrate on the things that make you happy I'm not saying things will get better overnight but please look after yourself and don't bother about those who are causing the problem in the first place I wish you well and message me if I cant help you david
You try to remove those people from your thoughts and instead focus on what’s going well in your life. Do something nice for you every day, and if your thoughts come back try to ignore them and feel the positive energy instead.
I find that so hard though. It's like no matter what I do the thoughts come back. I really wish I was like those people that aren't easily bothered by things.
I've always pushed against medication to manage my depression and anxiety but now I'm starting to feel like I may have to try it. Nothing else seems to be working long term
I know it’s hard but it takes practice, I recommend books on cognitive behavior therapy CBT that teaches you how to be aware of your thoughts but not let them upset you. There are things you can do, just try them before medication.
I can understand how you feel. I also struggle and sometimes the state of "happiness" to be something unattainable. I pray, releasing my fears and troubles to the Lord. Life is hard, and it takes a lot of intention to forgive and to guard your heart. I encourage you to seek our resources to help you walk through some of the pain you have experienced. Here is a contact for a free session with a licensed counselor who can help you with some advice and a course forward - 855-382-5433. Blessings!
I'm there all the time in that type of situation. For the last 17+ years, family, church family, doctors offices, people I thought were friends, employers, etc., have just thrown me under every possible bus there was. Only thing I can assume to be accurate is that this world is going down hill and i know for sure there is only one thing I can do about that - pray. So that is what I do.
