anyone feel as helpless?

[Kekai14]

Hey all! Recently I’ve been battling some serious anxiety and depression. To the point where I cant work, function or even drive!! Going through a really tough divorce and it’s been a traumatic last 6 months for me. Looking for anyone to talk too, gain some sort of support system for each other. Thank you!

Hi welcome to HU community

Divorces can be tough on the body and mind. With the back and forth and hold ups and can't decide on what and then arguing over what is theirs and not. It's understandable that you are feeling depressed and anxiety riddled.

I used to feel helpless with anxiety as well. But then I found out about this app called Dare by Barry McDonagh. Which helped me a lot on how to handle my anxiety. Gave me a new way to look at it. There's also a book by the same name Dare: A new way to end anxiety and stop panic attacks by Barry McDonagh.

Sending love and hugs to you 🫂❤️

Hi Kekai14, welcome! Yep I do feel helpless but you know what? Non of us are as helpless as we feel. That’s what I’ve learned.

how do you overcome that feeling? Or that sense of helplessness?

Are you familiar with the 1994 movie, “As good as it gets? I’ve accepted that life is a journey and has a lot of down times and trials but how would we enjoy any of the tiny good times that come along one in a while if not for this feeling. That’s what I remind myself. If I were you I’d ask myself what in my life have can I be grateful for Ike a roof over my head, drinking water, good healthy food, family and people we meet along our life path.
