Feeling low

6 Replies

I am really struggling with everything and feeling low and I don't know what to do as my head hurts and I feel that I can't cope with things and I feel stressed

It sounds like you are thinking about too many things at once. Try meditation or just simply close your eyes and focus on your breathing. Let me know if that doesn't work. Take care

I hear this. I'm in a really rough patch myself. Would it help you to write down what you're stressed about? I don't mean here (although you are more than welcome to if you want), but in a journal? Writing things down helps me sort out the mess going on up in my head.

I agree, I like to do this myself. Problems out of the mind and onto paper seem much smaller.

Hi Musicsamsung77, whenever we have pain, things seem worse than they are.

Being stressed perpetuates the muscles in the neck and back of head to tighten.

It's a sign for us to slow down our thoughts. Relax and Breathe.

Also when stressed Hydration is important.

As for trying to cope with everything, you've got to start with what you can change

and what you can't. Pick your battles. Somethings can be put on the back burner until

you feel better. Make a list as the others said. Check off what's really important right

now and what isn't. I always ask myself when stressed to the max. Is this worth getting

sick over?? Find a quiet spot to call your own and wrap your shoulders with a blanket.

It will make you feel secure and safe. Close your eyes and Breathe allowing your trouble

to float away. Pull your shoulders down away from your ears and Breathe in deeply and

exhale long and slow letting go of all your stress.

This is your "me time" right now. Be in the moment. Nothing else matters but your

emotional health. We are here to support you because we Care. :) xx
