Wish I could cope

I have learnt to manage my mental health quite well and had spells of being ok ish...
Since the weekend my anxiety is so high I’m exhausted with it. I was triggered on Saturday and can’t seem to get over it...I have to sort some things out this morning in respect of that,and I feel hopeless and vulnerable...can’t believe how I am now..I used to be able to do things...feeling so low and afraid ....and lonely, but a chosen loneliness as interacting is so exhausting...

Sorry to be so negative, I always try see the positive in things, today I’m not feeling good.....

I understand.

Some things have happened recently that have made me feel like all my efforts to manage my mental health and the progress I made towards being more positive has just seemed to disappear quite suddenly. For awhile there I thought I was actually past feeling such deep anxiety. Hopeless and vulnerable... is exactly what it feels like. I am in the same boat of loneliness that is fed furthur by the exhaustion of interaction and at this point, moving around at all. I've also got to work on some things tomorrow morning related to what triggered this and it hurts thinking about it.

Don't be sorry. You're not feeling good. I hope you feel better soon.

Thank you Agent Misty.
I appreciate it

Hi There,
I can completely relate. I suffer from crippling anxiety and I can no longer do what I used to do. For me, I have found morning meditation helps me with reading my bible, inspirational books things like that. It sure has helped me. I wish you all the best. Take Care.

Yes I love meditating..it helps a lot at times..
Sometimes something can override everything if I’m triggered too badly...I’ve managed to sort something out which makes th8ngs feel a little better with the problem I had, thank goodness...anxiety is so so difficult.
Thank you for your support , I appreciate it x

Stay strong. Anxiety is so challenging. I hope you find something to help!

Thank you, 🌺

Don't know if it will help,but it was great help for me when I
found out I had TRANSFERRED the anxiety from when I was
child with parents,onto world at large--damn sure I was not going
to do it a SECOND TIME!
Deepest Respect,

Thank you for replying BlueDove.
So glad that helped you..

It's ok It can happen. I hope it gets better..

Thank you

I also can relate. Learning how to deal with being triggered is the whole ballgame for me. My mind goes wild with unwanted thoughts. It takes practice to learn how to overcome the anxiety , and sometimes therapy and / or medications.
Briefly: I was with someone a very long time and had a toxic relationship. I wound up alone for awhile when I started to get so lonely I wound up back with that person. I changed , but she didn’t. Still no communication. Still I get triggered by her INACTIONS ! Feel like being alone again. But I don’t want to be lonely. That’s something I have to learn. I also am getting very tired of interacting with people. But you really need to. Even if it’s just going to the grocery store. I’m sorry for rambling, just want to say I know how you feel.
I certainly wish you the best.

Hi CB

Thank you for the reply.
I totally get you on this.
I never wanted to be alone and couldn’t bare the thought, strangely enough after a total meltdown a few years ago I kinda needed to be alone and it happened overnight. Not one was more surprised than me, I had always had someone in my life...I found some peace in this and less of the really low feelings that cin come with a relationship that’s not going well...
I’m not sure what happened, anyway maybe it was my mind saying I could no longer cope with a relationship alone or not, I’m not sure....I’ve been alone now for a few years, I do still occasionally get lonely but it’s a different kind of lonely, difficult to explain, and I done pine like I used to for that connection...

I am not sure how it will go as time goes by but I’m still quite shocked at how I changed .....I isolate quite a lot these days due to the ruminating if things go wrong when I go out..

I’m still a big work in progress I reckon 😊
Thank you , your reply got me thinking x

I hope what you were having to work on went ok for you.
Feeling vulnerable is so awful, I feel it often x
