Just had that yesterday I was outside myself crying my eyes out because I just don’t want to feel like that ever again. Don’t stay here too long friend sit with the discomfort and continue living. You’re doing great and in case no one told you today thanks so much for being alive and being awesome. ❤️
@ Skyline 🕊️ Thanks Skyline…that means a lot
@DavidSeeker It’s meant. I know how hard it is. You’re worth it. It’s not fair but it is what it is. ❤️🩹
It sucks when intrusive thoughts creep up on you suddenly! Try running cold water on your head for about 30seconds - 1min or if that’s not for you, a YouTube guided progressive muscle relaxation exercise can help with calming the nervous system. This might help bring you down from feeling highly strung from your thoughts 🙂 It’s important to note that thoughts are just that and they aren’t facts about yourself. They’re ego-dystonic! Hope you start to feel better 🤍
Oof...yeah that's never fun. Whenever I have spirals I try to remind myself to take a step back and just breathe. Hope your day gets better. 🩵
@Thatoneunhingedfae Thanks…I will take some breathes … it helps to know I’m not the only one that has this 😁
I’ve been having a really rough two weeks. I’ve been great for months and all of a sudden it hit hard out of nowhere. I’m anxious, sad, and my intrusive thoughts have been at an all time high. I feel like I’m trying to do things to combat the thoughts and nothing is working for me. I’m feeling scared and trapped. Each time I hear something bad on the news or see something triggering I feel worse and the thoughts come flooding back strong. Any suggestions?
I’ve been struggling with intrusive thoughts for the past few weeks, now it’s also turned into depression. I’m trying to fight through it but tbh it’s been kicking my butt these past few days. I just feel so hopeless. It’s like I lost all hope for the future. My ambition is gone and I was the most ambitious person I knew. Making it through the day is a struggle. Just want my old self back.
I've been working hard on managing my thoughts all week. It feels like each day i got weaker and weaker. To the point where I had to do the obsession. This is a frustrating cycle. I'm having one of those days where I would rather die.
