I get these moments come over me when i am overwhelmed with fear about my future.
I cant seem to control how my life goes.. What if it gets worse?
I feel like my life is inevitably going to get to the point where it is SO AWFUL.

I have those feelings all the time. That's why you gotta push those thoughts aside and live life day-to-day. Try to make each day the best it can be. And if it doesn't go well, just remember tomorrow is a new day and a fresh start.

Best wishes and good luck

I think these feelings aren't uncommon - at least in those struggling with severe mental illness. I struggle with this thinking too, especially deciding what to take in college soon enough.

What helps me is taking things one day at a time - not worrying about the past or the future, just what is going on NOW. It's definitely hard sometimes, but it beats wasting time and energy on what could happen.

If you find this problem is really affecting you negatively, perhaps you could discuss it with your therapist or psych, or even a family member or friend you're close to? Sending good vibes your way!

I get those feelings too. I sometimes feel like my wheels are spinning and oh my god what have I done with my life. I agree with MM. But when my brain is "bad" I can't see straight. Its SOOOO difficult to see yourself around or through or out of the weirdness your brain gets itself into during an episode.

I have similar feelings as well. I feel like I am wasting my life and not accomplishing anything. Sometimes I feel I am just passing time until it is my time to go, like I have not made an impact on anyone or anything. I feel useless and a waste of space. Then I get bright ideas of doing something, I start it and end up never finishing it. It is pretty much an endless cycle. I am sorry you are going through those feelings, and remember tomorrow is a brand new day. It is so hard to foretell what the world holds for us, it changes so quickly.
