It's been one of those weeks. I have just been feeling so down lately, emotional and just depressed. I feel like I can just start crying at the snap of a finger. Things are just not in my control lately and I hate that. My car is a pile, my work I'm unhappy at, everything I do I just feel like I try but I can't succeed. My anxiety has gotten really bad, especially at night. I keep thinking about the stupidest things, dying, calculating how long I have to live, what I'm going to die of, if I have this, or that, ive been really bothering myself lately and I don't know what to do.

I wish I could just be confident and anxiety free because it's really holding me back from being myself. I hate feeling like this. I just feel scared all of the time. It's a strange feeling, and all new to me and I don't like it.

Now, I have stopped all pulse checking LOL, I don't even have heart anxiety at the moment, which is a huge relief. It's just all these other weird things.

Now I have this pain under my right rib which has been going on for about a year, it comes and goes like a sharp quick stabbing pain. So of course I am thinking the most horrid situation.

I want to move forward, but it's like I'm also holding myself back and want to leave this stupid mind and thoughts. I hope you are all doing great though and having a good week and looking forward to the weekend!

Thank you as always for helping and making me feel better

Night time is usually difficult e too& just about the same kind of thoughts you have, just come when a mind has thought one way for so long it becomes real hard to retrain it. But I trust it could/can be done I was reading a very inspiring blog of a young woman, who has been dealing with mental illnesses too& she is from london and talked of her hospital stays& how being in there hel her to gain some insights on life &she stated she is still not 100% better& not trying to harm herself. She said she learn to set a high goal for every bad thought& she put it like this, and I found it to be interesting and very eye opening to many situations.


1.She was not going to die until/ I have became a book writer and get publish& until she saw her friends off to a new beginning & until she dyed her hair and until she gave her all at life, yes life gets hard but she made up in her mind she wasn't going to die just yet she still had alot more to prove to the ones who said she couldn't do it are to just get over it. And she was getting a kick out of doing it, and she hadn't been back in the hospital for months try telling yourself you're okay. Best of luck to you !

Hi FL.,

I am sorry that you are going through this rough time of it currently.

How have you been doing with the coping skills?

Do you feel like some worksheets for going through your negative/scary thoughts could help?

We have CBT therapy downloads in the Resources that I thought of while reading your post. They could be just the thing to help you difuse those worries.

Don't forget about Moodgym as well if you continue to feel depressed. It is really effective for dealing with negative thoughts that feed the depression and anxiety.

Keep posting with us as well...simply talking about things with other who understand helps!

Sending encouragement,

S.C.
