consumed

[Selahgrayce]

hello, does anyone else feel completely consumed by their anxiety and depression? Mine is named Trudy and she has come back with a vengeance!! I haven’t showered, brushed my teeth or even been to work yet this week, bc all I think about is how miserable I am! I don’t want to ….ya know….but if it happened I wouldn’t be upset. I hate myself for feeling this way.

it’s easy to hate yourself over feeling like this. Do your best to give yourself positive affirmations. I try to do that, it feels awkward still but it is better than beating yourself over it. I don’t have a name for my anxiety or depression. Unless oh shit counts.

Thank you. I recently bought an affirmation calendar. I guess it’s time to use it

Yes, mine has been playing peek a boo for a long time. I try to fight it but there it is.

Just do what you can. Don't be hard on yourself. Your thoughts and feelings are valid and you're worthy.

I completely understand. I have SI's too. You're not alone.

I offer a huggggggggg and positive vibes ✨️✨️✨️✨️✨️✨️✨️✨️✨️✨️✨️

One thing that is hard to do is to be patient with yourself. It’s easy to beat yourself up when you’re down but there are ways to work on and treat these things.

We all feel that way at times

10 months ago, I didn't want to be alive anymore because my anxiety was so horrible. I constantly wanted to crawl out of my skin, my brain wouldn't stop racing, I was experiencing depersonalization and the worst extent of my panic disorder everyday.

Then, I decided I'd had enough. I wanted my life back and wanted to feel like me again. I got started on Lexapro in March and by July I was feeling so much better. I highly recommend meds and talk therapy! But, just keep in mind that this will pass soon, and it will get better and your brain will give you some relief soon. I promise. Stay strong and just remember to breathe. ♡

This is so inspiring. I too have started lexapro and Wellbutrin to help. I know it takes time to kick in. It’s just so hard. I WANT to feel and do better. But my brain just won’t let me!! It’s so frustrating!!! It’s nice to hear someone who has fought this fight too. 💕
