Take life one step at a time. Focus on the present. That's where you are right now in life. Of course, you want to learn from mistakes made in the past, but try not to dwell on the past. Also, planning for the future helps. But, try to keep most of yourself in the present.

Working, cooking, cleaning, conversing, etc. All of these activities should be done with your attention in the moment.

Thank you Shezbut! i feel so alone in this.

what you say makes sense, surviving day by day, second by second.... but its right the present or how i live it to create me problems.

i dont dwell on the past and i dont even think much about the future, it would be wayyyy too much depressing. but even just planning the present day overwhelms me.... going to sleep at night, waking up in the morning.... i go crazy.

yes, maybe you mean living it even more in the present, like minute by minute, but i DO know what expects me during the day and i HATE IT.
i hate everything about everyday about anyone and about myself especially.
im just so f****ing sick and fed up and overwhelmed and disgusted by life and living. i just cant take it anymore, but there are still things i need to do before quitting, so im trapped here meanwhile. which could either be a reality or a way my mind tells me to hold on, i dont know, i only know im REALLY REALLY REALLY SICK OF EVERYTHING. and still dont know how to deal with all this stuff in my head and heart

PS. I called in sick. Never done before except for real illness. I dont want to live today or anymore at all... Please, tell me im going to make it until tonight one way or another...

I'm not very good at coping with life, but I will say...

Remember to breathe. Pay attention to your breathing to keep it steady.
Thanks for this!

Try making a list of the good things in your life when you're down look at the list. Remember there is a reason for everything. That which doesn't kill you makes you stronger. Try to appreciate the little things in your life.

I'm sorry sinking that you are feeling this way...

One thing that I've learned about life is to stay out of ones own head...to take yourself out of the equation when bad things happen. If anyone makes us mentally ill, we do. Nobody beats us up like we do to ourselves.

Great piece of advice that I have to give because I need to remind myself constantly.
Thanks for this!

I know that it's hard, sinking. You feel as though you're going to die. Life sucks beyond words at this point. But, do NOT give into the extreme anxiety. Face it. Head on ~ you are not giving into your intense fears.

That is what it takes to get beyond the extreme anxiety. And I KNOW (all too well) how much emotion and energy is stirred up by intentions like these. It is *hard*, no doubt about it. But, if you really want to stop it, you have to face it, head on. And refuse to give it any power over you.

you are in my thoughts...

No, he's inadequate. It sounds like he quit because he sucks. Get to feeling better hon.

Thanks for this!

First of all, stop blaming yourself for your therapist's inadequacy.

Did your therapist provide a referral?

No i already am followed at the meantal health center (quite unhelpful and badly, but it is what it is). I went to the phobia T to help me with this particolar phobia with which nobody else seems to be competent enough. I also have my good T with which i have ended proper therapy but he's available for emergencies.

I am waiting for a letter from phobia T elaining why he dumped me. Which i havent understood conpletely...

His rejection hurt so much more than any work he was afraid of doing with me (and whichi is partly a reason for he didnt want to work with me)

I hope i'll never hear again from him. He hurt me so much. So much...

Okay... you'll get through this, honest you can, it might not be easy and it might take a little bit... but keep putting one foot in front of the other... and try to find one thing that is good that you can remind yourself and be thankful for... and dwell on that good... it will help

Yes, i know i'll get through this.. but not even understanding why he fired me, after all my committment and faith i had on him, is really HARD to elaborate...
Thanks anyway. I guess i'll DEAL with this too. But it only adds to my initial question... Which maybe is a little different now:

WHY EVEN DEALING WITH LIFE, IF IT MEANS ONLY PAIN?

Thinking of you *hugs* I like the concept of mindfulness (living in the moment). However sometimes I need escapism through a book or video game or trying to support someone here.

I too have moments where I just can't *handle* life, sometimes. I hope you are feeling better.

Whatt kind of a whack T fires their client? Never heard of that! This is why I'm shaking my head!
Thanks for this!

Ive tried a relaxation exercise that relaxed me at first but now i feel conpletely messed up because it relaxed me and what relaxed me was thinking about having a shower with warm blood, getting my white bathrobe dirty with red stains and leaving my bloody footsteps on the floor... I felt relaxed and agitated because i wasnt meant to think about that stuff. Yet i did and worked but if i am relaxed, why am i here?

If it relaxes you, it relaxes you. I'm glad you are feeling quasi-better, though!
