Worry Room - Get it out, and walk away: No responses please

Worry Room - Get it out, and walk away: No responses please

Got something that's bugging you?

Want to vent, but don't want a response?

Sometimes our minds can get stuck in circles trying to sort out an issue. This can keep you up at night, or make it hard to focus on other things. I find that putting things away, and not thinking about it temporarily can be helpful.

This is the place to get it out, and then give yourself permission to let it go.

Maybe you will need to get back to it some other time, but this is space where you can put it in a place so that you can leave it for some time and (try) not to worry about it in the mean time.

It's a thread where people don't need to reply, it purely just to get it out your worry and concerns.

If you want to show your support for someone, hit the 'like' button. In this thread, 'like' doesn't mean that you 'like' someone's issue, but you support them in letting it out.

So write down your concerns, put it in a vault, shut the door, and allow yourself to walk away from it.

Pls note: If you are reading other people's posts, please respect that they don't want a response. Show your support by 'Liking' their post.

Re: Worry Room - Get it out, and walk away: No responses please

I'm trying to tap in to the belief that some boundaries I have set with someone who was a friend are OK, but they're being pushed against with the most recent being a concerning message about how alone he now is and how he is experiencing a significant deterioration in his mental health, including specifics.

I don't want to do things with him anymore as they were becoming no good for me, but I also don't want to leave him in a place as bad as it sounds he is in. I find it hard to hear of someone going through a difficult time and ignore that. I get that what he is going through is hard for him, but in a way I think he might be playing on my emotions too and I don't want to give in to that.

This pushing makes me doubt myself. What if I really am uncaring and cold-hearted? What's wrong with me for not being able to establish and keep firm boundaries? Why am I doubting this when I think deep down it is OK? What if something happens and I didn't do anything about it?

Re: Worry Room - Get it out, and walk away: No responses please

Seeing all these former graduates of my old high school celebrated by doing great things like honours degrees and engineering...all part of international women’s day. I reflect and worry, am I such a loser that I’ve not accomplished anything worthwhile to others? Part of my plan was to help others, but apparently that’s not enough. When will I get off my stupid butt and do something amazing?

I can't control my urges. I feel like I have lost total control.

Little voices are going chitter chatter in my head

Little voices wishing I was dead

Re: Worry Room - Get it out, and walk away: No responses please

At the moment, I’m constantly anxious. I have complex-PTSD and I was doing okay for a while. My memories that I suppressed returned last year. I was coping okay. I saw my psych forgnightly and continue to do so. Maybe I was this bad then too. I don’t know. But last week I had a whole new round of new memories. I’m worried about everything. I’m at home with a virus but I can’t stop checking my emails for work. Obsessing about every little thing I should have or could have done better. My anxiety is ruling me. When people are here, I want to be alone. When I’m alone, I want someone here. I feel like I can’t do anything right. I look at the clock and hope time has passed and only minutes have. I can’t concentrate. I feel like if I tell people what’s wrong or how bad I’m feeling that I’m also failing. I hate that the people I do tell.. I feel like I’ve burdened them.

Let me not to the marriage of true minds

Admit impediments. Love is not love

Which alters when it alteration finds,

Or bends with the remover to remove.

O no, it is an ever-fixed mark

That looks on tempests and is never shaken...

Sonnet 116
