a flood of thoughts

There is one thought out of a hundred and then a hundred follow. They drag me into a pit. A pit full of sorrow. Sorrow seeds anxiety. Anxiety seeds chest pain. I feel like climbing out of the pit. But its slippery. And the negative thoughts are dragging me down. I dont know why I did this to myself. I wish I had known the first day what I was getting into. I feel helpless.

Negative thoughts can really invade our mind. It's like you don't want to think the negative thoughts you are having. Have you thought about just writing all your negative thoughts on a piece of paper? You can number them and write each thought down, then think of the positive end of the thought and write it down. Have you thought about joining a support group? When these negative thoughts come, surround yourself with positive people? I found writing each time I was negative and then thinking through the positive of the thought really helped. There is nothing wrong with your negative thoughts as long as you have positivity come out of them. You can do it, I believe in you. Have you thought about when you begin this series of thoughts, just shutting down and watching a funny movie? Laughter can make us feel better as well. Or be with someone who makes you laugh. You are not alone. You are loved and I believe that you will come out of this.
