Anyone else have moods they can't seem to get out of? Can't tell if this is tied to my anxiety or OCD...

Yes it's like it's stuck on me I feel always guilty it sucks.

Yes! And its more persistent when I drink coffee, it actually happened to me earlier a few hours ago.

Is there something specific that made you feel this way? For me sometimes i get frustrated because sometimes I feel stuck, like i havent been moving forward (no degree, no husband, no kids, not having my own place) and just feel really unsatisfied. And it makes me frustrated all day 😅

It helps to take a step back and evaluate the problem, by taking a step back you may be able to find the cause of that frustration and work from there to reach a solution! 😊

wow i guess i nailed it 😅 If i may offer some advice?

Im my case: I was working towards an illustration degree at a community college and as the years passed by i felt i wasnt moving forward (due to inconstent career counseling that was back and forth). I wanted my career and it was frustrating everyone around me already having their careers, getting their own place etc. I felt soo behind, i felt like a loser, i felt unaccomplished. I was a failure (thats what i told myself) it was a constant state of anxiety. I felt stuck, i had no idea what to do. So you know what I did? I quit that school! Decided to take a break from school (temporary) That break served as taking a step back. BUT! sometimes, you need to take a step back, revaluate the bigger picture in order to find the cause and then reach a solution. I took a break from school in order to determine if I wanted to continue with my dream or make a career change.

During those months i looked into healthcare programs but in never followed through because during those months I realized that I was meant to do illustration, it is my passion. Healthcare is a wonderful career field, but i wasnt passionate about it, i am a creative at heart! So... After 3 months: after taking that step back I learned that I still wanted to pursue my illustration degree BUT i was going to take a different approach (different school) so i looked up schools and saw Rocky Mountain College of Art and Design, applied because (if i applied that day my application fee would be waved 😅) but i figured why not! Surprisingly got accepted! It is by far the best decision i ever made in my life! Its not always easy though, I have no encourangement from my mother (she saw me as a failure and wanted me to do healthcare) but i feel deep in my heart it was the best decision i ever made and feel more centered in terms of where I am going moving forward.

wheew that was a mouthful ! Sorry about that 😅 But i just want you to know that no matter where you are in life, at one point you will get stuck it happens to everyone! If you ever feel that way, it is a strong sign that you have to make a big change! If your unsure of what it is it can be frustrating! But i promise if you take a step back (even if it means taking a break from school or work, even if it takes months) you will eventually figure out the root of the problem. And once you do, reaching the solution is much easier! Even if the solution means taking a big drastic change, or even starting over do not be afraid 😊 even if we fail it doesnt make us failures, it just means we havent found the right approach 😇

Im glad my advice helped 😅 I also learned that another problem i had was being unorganized in keeping track with appointments, deadlines, etc. Finding a method to help stay organized helps as well 😇

I discovered oh so many things during that break 🤣

But just remember if your feeling frustrated because you feel stuck, its going to be okay 😇 It just means there is a big change around the corner! And taking a step back will help you find that approach 😊

You got this 😊👊

I've been super frustrated all day lol

I drunk a lot while you've got frustrated. Now it's 08h48 here and I'm having a super hangover after a night of insomnia, and now I'm forced to smile at people as if everything was normal so that the fact is my life is a shit hole. And everybody thinks I'm living my life as a chief. I'm owned.

Sorry for the mouthful 😅
