feeling so low

[Danzdanz123]

I feel so low I have this horrible feeling in my body weird sensations has anyone felt suicidal and anxious at the same time. I don’t understand it I’m so scared I’m going to hallucinate or just die what can I do to make myself feel better? I can’t explain this feeling it’s so scary and painful 😢

Yes many times, it is a horrible feeling. Try closing your eyes in a comfortable place, clearing your mind as much as you can and breath. Try putting the focus on your body by letting your mind pinpoint the areas that feel stressed. It is a good way to distract your mind, for example if your heart is racing say that to your self and let yourself counter it by breathing and recognize that while you do it. If you are clinching your fists or tightening your legs, do the same, relax them, and recognize you are doing it. Maybe also if you are feeling suicidal please reach out to someone for help, worst case go to the ER, there is help there and they can get you to the right people to help.

great tips… I do third thing in which I tense up each part of the body one area at a time then release one at a time… feels great

thank you I think I have severe ocd so actually distracting myself from what’s causing it is better for me I’ve noticed when I focus on the direct problem it makes it worse. Thank you

I’ve started to rewatch a show as I love movies and stuff and although I’m not like 100% relaxed it’s eased it a little thank you 😊

I wonder if you are experiencing a panic attack. I’m so sorry you are in pain. Are you seriously thinking of taking your life?

[Danzdanz123 in reply to Starrlight]

I don’t want to take my life it just feels like some times when I feel so bad it would be the only thing to escape and then feeling like that makes me worse

I hear ya. I know what you mean. 😢

it is a terrible feeling that will pass. I would get on the right vitamins…yes that is right and try to see a psychiatrist.

I know what you mean, been there. I found a psychiatrist and a therapist that helped me. It will take time but little by little things got much better. Talking to friends definitely helped. Alot of people go through this. Keep us posted. God bless.
