Lonely

[BrokenPromise]

I'm just emotionally, mentally and physically drained after trying to just survive in all my yrs of living.

I struggle with it all. I'm in pain. My body feels like its breaking down.

Same at 61. Arthritis attacking tonight. Depression coming on severe. Lonely. Hopeless. Wish my head would shut up. Wish my memories could be undone.

Myself I'm going to get a snack.

Sometimes it helps to find something funny on YouTube.

Same. Snacks and YouTube help me.I've been getting numbness, tingling and aches in my hands, back and sometimes feet. Especially when I just wake up, it's painful. I have many doc appts, but no energy.

being stuck in survival mode is absolutely exhausting. It ravages our body and damages our brain. And the longer it’s there, the harder it is to recover.

I’m sorry you’re going through that, and a lot of people here can relate to being in “survival mode” whether it’s from our environment or from ourselves.

I don’t know fully who I am without anxiety and depression anymore. My first diagnosed panic attack was when I was 18, and I’m now 29. My whole adult life so far has been clouded by mental illness. What would be my thoughts, desires, and goals without it?

I feel betrayed by my body. The physical symptoms of anxiety amongst some other diagnosed medical issues, has left me in bad shape. Everything seems to be a trigger

But i guess we just keep going. Radical acceptance, and finding peace in little moments. Hot showers, frozen ice cream, warm clothes.. anywhere we can find them

Awe, hugs! Yes, everything is a trigger for me. I try to find happiness in the little moments, or simple things, but sometimes I'm just numb. I've been having terrible symptoms. My environment, and surrounding was never kind to me. I'm constantly in survival mode.My little pup does help tremendously tho =)

I hear you BrokenPromise...everyone I talk with tends to feel the same way.

Is the world moving too fast for us? Is Anxiety draining our minds and bodies

of energy that we use to have? With tiredness and loss of energy comes loss

of motivation. This all boils down to needing some "me time". Not stressed out

me time but quiet, relaxing moments where the mind is in the present moment as

it allows our body to regenerate. My go to is YouTube as I search for comforting

meditations and Affirmations to help me. Also it helps when I do my breathing

exercises and bring down my shoulders to release any stress. Last but not least

we must PACE ourselves throughout the day. Breathe xx
