Anxiety is a physical condition marked by intense and persistent feelings of distress, fear, angst or dread. General anxiety caused by routine day-to-day stresses usually passes quickly and is experienced by almost everyone at one time or another. However, such feelings that linger over time and are very difficult to cope with, and which lack a clear cause, may indicate...

3 new scars.

So I´ve been clean for almost 2 months but yesterday after a panic attack I couldn´t resist any longer, I´m feeling so helpless and alone. I just want this pain to end, I don´t have the will and I just want to sleep so I can forget about the world and if it is possible to forget that I exist.

Loneliness, Problems (I know everyone have problems), a broken heart and my home doesn´t feel like home anymore. For scars, I meant self-harm and I don´t do drugs.

I have terrible self harm scars. It is an addiction and can be very hard to stop, especially when you rely on it to help with anxiety (I used to do it because of that and depression too).

All I can say is I forced myself to learn new ways of coping. For me, breathing exercises, daydreaming and watching ASMR videos is what helped me stop self harming for good. I haven't done it for almost two years. I hope you can find a way to stop too.

I deeply feel that. Last month after my depression rapidly worsened, I cut, which is something that I hadn't done for about 6 or 7 months. The best thing to do is to keep on going on. This one incident isn't the end of the world, even though I know that it can feel that way.

Thank you for your kind words, I try to find new ways to cope with my anxiety and the self-harm. But I can´t stop doing it and right now DS is the only way to heal myself, meaning that I don´t trust my friends or family or maybe I don´t want them to get worried about me. I don´t deserve them.

Let me clue you in on this pattern of thought change to help move "in the moment" . It works. It does, however, you have to work, diligently, and with the determination that you can change your thought pattern. One of the reasons being on-line helps me to move my impulse hurt pattern to an impulse help is because I'm answering my own call for help "in the moment". Do...works. Use your words written to help you move forward through the usual pattern. Best wishes. You deserve peace in mind, peace in heart, and you are stronger than you realize. Best wishes.

    I did the dumbest thing today.  I charged my earbuds, unplugged the block and put the block in my little bag instead of the earbuds.  I wasn't happy about that when I got to the gym.  What a dummy!
