Something’s not right

Scared and alone

Lee82Senior Contributor29 Mar 2020, 11:04 pm AEDT

Scared and alone

I can't seem to shake the anxiety I have had all day today. I feel like I am 1 step away from going crazy. I have been trying to ignore it all day and it's exhausting. I feel sick and irritable. I am so tired of feeling this way. I have had enough of it all. Why is it that we have to suffer in silence and deal with all this sh** every single day and the people who made us this way are living a wonderful happy carefree life? Why do I have to accept that this is just the way it will be from now on? I don't want to accept it. I don't want to have to deal with living with PTSD and depression and anxiety and everything else that comes with it.

It seems like things will never get back to normality. Although I don't think things have ever been normal for me. But hope keeps us going so hope is all I have.

We just have to keep building our lives @Lee82 when we loose interest in everything we normally would like to do sometimes we have to look at other things to try out

Re: Scared and alone

I don't know if I am alone in this but for some reason all my thoughts seem to be always negative. I feel I can't see any positives and if I try to see positives my mind just overrides it to think negatively. Any ideas why my mind seems to go straight to the negatives?

Re: Scared and alone

Hi @Lee82 , you definitely aren't alone in that. Even if I manage to see the good it is quickly turned into some thing negative.

I have to try and focus on getting through the day, then the night and then the next day and so on.

Hope you have a better day today

Re: Scared and alone

You're doing great. I'm hoping to get some exercise in tomorrow. Hope you're winding down for bed. I'm good, thanks for asking. @Lee82

Re: Scared and alone

Its a relief to be feeling better @Lee82 - I just need to keep this going. Are you heading to bed soon? I was meant to have my CBT course tomorrow but it has been cancelled. But pleased to hear your anxiety has reduced for you.
