Need peace

[Dancer2020]

My mind constantly spins out of control. I can't find peace. Friends keep mostly to themselves. I've become scared of life. - of what else will go wrong. Does anyone else feel this way?

[Oliver1970]

Yes. I feel this way a lot. My mind is constantly at work over-thinking, and second guessing. I always see things as worst case scenario. And I am scared. A lot more than I want to be.

But I am trying. I am reading, watching videos, looking up things that I can try.

And it's hard. I can not say that I am hopeful, and that scares me.

But I am trying.

Hi, I came across your post and I feel the same. I am over thinking and thinking of the worst case scenario. It started last March with dad's cancer diagnosis and it's been a roller coaster of a year. I am here because I want to try and be hopeful that things will get better. Take care

My anxiety and depression started with my dad being diagnosed with cancer and then my significant other died unexpectedly 3 months before my dad. I feel like I lost my mind then as well. This site does help to know I'm not alone. Thanks for sharing!

Fear is the worst. Thanks for your response.

Dealing with it this week. Some weeks not so much.

[Ryubug]

That is totally what I'm going through lately. I feel like the past 8 years or so I'm getting worse every year. I know life happens but I've been through so much. And now I have a really hard time getting excited about anything or being truly happy cause I'm waiting for the next thing to go wrong. It sucks. I don't feel depressed though but my anxiety is at an all time high and I'm constantly thinking about worse case scenarios and such. I just want my brain to shut up for a week.

Today I Posted That Although We Should Never Give Up.... Pausing, Crawling, Crying, And Falling Are All Acceptable. It's Okay To Stop And Breathe. And If That's All You Do Today (Breath), It's Alot And It's Perfectly Okay. Some Days, All We Can Do Is Breathe. Sending Hugs...

Yes! Love This!!

What's causing this?

[KJnOTT]

Yes, and COVID certainly didn't help things. This world is hard and we face so many stresses. Finding peace takes a lot of intention sometimes. Here is a video of someone sharing their experience which I found very encouraging. bit.ly/3yEJkGq

Hang in there .
