Woke up feeling bad again today. That rollercoaster is so hard. The thoughts are back, the low mood. I have a friend’s wedding today and I’m so scared I won’t be able to make it 😞😭
Try not to get stuck in the black and white thinking! Bad feelings are just that, feelings, which thankfully are temporary, don’t let them ruin the possibility of having even more great or even wonderful days! Healing is not a straight path, give yourself time and space to feel the lows, the discomfort, the ache, and when you’re ready, make the day yours!
@KarsynJ This is so hard. It’s really scary that maybe the feeling won’t go away. And I’ll always be like that. I have harm ocd so it throws me right to where my brain wants to be. Just Hard.
Don't focus on what you don't want to do, and don't want to think about. Acknowledge they are there and don't try and ignore them. Make a list quickly and do it, even if it's stuff like wash your face, clean your teeth, eat breakfast. Lots of small achievable goals even if it's just for this morning. Have that be your focus. Some upbeat music usually gets me going if I don't want to move
@Wolfram Yes I’m doing that and I’m working! But the feeling is very heavy. I’m scared the I want to act on my thoughts, and scared that things we want do not pass…
@confused writer You're overriding your faulty responses and fight or flight. You will be scared. Keep heading in the right direction. It gets worse before it gets better
