Any one else struggle with getting a handle on their thoughts without reacting. I feel like I am caught in this cycle and I know about mindfulness techniques but I can never catch myself before I spiral sometimes it feels hopeless.
For the first time yesterday I feel like something is broken and can’t be fixed like I’m going to be like this forever. My behaviour is probably going to cost me my relationship and it’s all my fault
I think that all of us suffering with anxiety/depression have trouble with reacting to our thoughts. They are so annoying. I hate trying to practice mindfulness, or breathing, why do I have to do these things? Why can't I just work on doing my things without worrying about depression and anxiety all of the time starting with feeling worthless from a thought? So annoying. My version of it is working on the way I think and then hopefully being able to challenge my thoughts that lead me to feel anxious/depressed.
I am sorry that you feel hopeless, that is the absolute worst. Maybe there is something new out there that you can try to get a new twist on things. The only real failure is giving up. I wish you the best on your journey ☮️
hi there! I struggle with this a lot especially because I have 2 kids and my imbalanced brain tells me awful things about myself as a parent. Are you comfortable hearing some things that might help or do you want to connect? Or both? I don’t want to give advice or suggestions if that’s not going to help you.
I am sorry that you feel so helpless right now. That is why we all are here, to express how hard it is to manage our lives. Take solace in the fact that 90% of the population is feeling anxious and unsure about their life too. We are going thrrouigh a time in human history that is loaded with challenges and change that is faster than it has ever been. I think this age of anxiety is a precurser to finally stopping all the institutions that are failing us, and reforming them so that they are serving the people not themselves and profit. So we need to take this in stride, because there is nothing wrong with self-doubt now. If we need meds or therapy then fine, it we need a forum like this, then fine. We WILL fight on through this fog. We are all an experiment of one. What helps one person might not necessarily help someone else. So we need to be flexible and try different things that help each of us, even if it is "different".
