giving up

I've posted on here awhile ago about my anxiety, and its gotten worse. Its to the point where nothing takes away the negative thoughts. I keep thinking about mistakes I made in the past and feel like my life is ruined when I know its not. I've talked to family, friends, and co workers. Nothing helps. Things I used to love now bring me fear and make me want to blow up. Things like going out with friends, movies, literally anything with the smallest bit of negativity will make my mind race. I thought really hard about when this all started and decided it was back in may/june when I thought I wasn't going to graduate because I didn't do a project that heavily effected my grade. Ever since that point the depression/anxiety stuck and got worse. Every week its a different thought that controls my mindset and no matter how hard I try I can't get rid of the negative thoughts. I just want my life back :(

Hi LU and welcome back.

This is an extememly tough time for any person of your age's life!

There is so much pressure to know what you want to do...and to pursue lofty goals, complete school, think about a job, ect.

Know that you are doing all that you can, and that things will settle down and be easier eventually.

In the meantime, we have some great self-help Resources to consider looking into. On our main page, 1st post, you will find all sorts of great ideas for managing the anxiety. Links to breathing and relaxation exercises, informative articles...even on line therapy.:) It is all free and can be done at home, on your own time!

I would encourage you to try some of the sugestions, and to keep posting. We are a supportive group, who is always here to listen and care.

S.C.
