Feel like I’m actually turning crazy.

Hi Shaun, I'm new here but I was brought here because that is exactly the kind of day I've had too. I know I won't be much help but just thought it might help a little to know you are not alone. I've been trying to distract myself but nothing else is keeping my focus apart from my anxiety and of course that always makes things seem worse. My best advice is look on youtube and find one of those relaxing hypnosis videos. It's not really hypnosis but deep relaxation. That helps me. It might take a few tries but once your in the zone it's really relaxing. Hope you feel better soon.

Appreciate the comments jules thank you! And I will definitely be trying the relaxing hypnosis vids, just seems every thought is negative can’t wait to hopefully see light at the end of the tunnel but seems soooo far away at the moment, but shall carry on marching forward, really hope your days not been to bad so far.

Hi, I'm not great today but better than yesterday so that's a positive. I don't know if you've ever been referred to CBT. I did once for my fear of needles and it helped a bit. You might get some benefit from this website. It's something you really need to commit to, like retraining your brain but I'm going to give it a go and see if it helps. Hang in there, and good luck. Here is the link if you are interested. getselfhelp.co.uk/step1.htm
