Re: Same old
lj we need to think about the big picture sometimes ... but dont let it swamp you.
I worry that you take on too much.
I know you are very competent.
Your body is your soul vehicle and has its limits even if in our imaginations and determination is great.
yet stil .. notice the rise of your chest .. let the breath be deep enough.

From the cupboard and start scrubbing, or take a toothbrush to the times in the bathroom ..... slowly, gently, but purposefully .... let the rhythm of physical movement smooth you .... breathe in, breathe out ...,
You need to purpose some of that adrenaline
that is driving your heart rate up before it will settle down, and that means breaking the cycle of your thoughts .... physical action and the practicality of what you are doing will aid this .....
Keep posting to let us know how you're getting on .....

Re: Same old
thanks @Faith-and-Hope @Appleblossom
been walking around house, but not settling to do anything. no concentration. will be ok. everything is messy/confusing in life... even here. i have to expect a lot of myself... im on my own and have to push and push but the cart im pushing has square wheels and its heavier than ever at the moment. but still trying ot push it haha. (now there's craziness!) psychologist says i need to get the bad/negative thoughts to one side that stop me from moving forward but they are loud, and bossy and so much stronger than my 'rational thoughts'. in such a dark place and so exhausted.

Re: Same old
@Former-Member, feel for you. So relate to those 'walking in circle' days. Has something happened to spike your stress levels? Depression can be so hard to live with, or move forward with "square wheels" (great analogy!). As for "pushing g the negative thoughts to one side" - mindfulness exercises are good but like turning a light on removes darkness, so too focus on plesant things will ease your pain, the turmoil. Self compassion - hug the little girl within & smile. Everything is going to be ok...
