Ok let loose with whatever is bothering you and tripping your anxiety into overload.

Ok let loose with whatever is bothering you and tripping your anxiety into overload.

Just I'm doing a shit job at my job and tomorrow is Monday and I have to face a new work week and I'm terrified to face a new week of work .I just graduated with my masters degree so I'm trying to find a job and that is impossible .I'm taking certification exams and I'm not doing good on them either so I'm probably going to have to take them multiple times .Everything is just a hot mess .And all of this put together makes me super anxious and wanting to just off myself :(

Wow I've heard this exact same story from a friend in Florida

take a deep breath, hold it for 3 seconds, blow it out slowly, and repeat until your heart rate slows down, I can tell by your typing that your mind is racing. The best was to get out of your mind, is to get into your body- go for a walk- 10 blocks- set a very simple goal of 10 15 min and do it, shut all electronics off, computer cell tv, are all stimulants. Think clearly, not emotionally, do u really want to off yourself because u cant find a job? imagine everyone did that , the streets would be lined heal to head, we would have to climb over the bodies just to catch a cab..to go on an interview. That would be highly inconvenient, no? (im trying to make u smile at the visual, yes I know its a serious situation, I would love to off myself atleast once a week- but then I catch my breath and say- is this all I am? a job? a this a that (whatever reason of the day... the bottom line is, its not the job- not finding a job is a trigger/ a symptom of a problem u already have buried inside u. Discovering it, and facing it, will help u hold on one more day. Then tomorrow, u do it again.

I've had anxiety pop up many times in my life and in varying degrees. Cacheteen1 is suggesting techniques that worked for me so they might work for you too. Breathing exercises and reminding yourself that others have survived much serious situations than you and come out on top really does work!! I know what you may think (it's what I thought anyways) that it's worse for you because x and because y. It really isn't though. You can do this. Others have done it and you are no worse/better than them. That sounds so harsh but it's the truth!! Breath and proceed. Things almost always seem worse until you do them. But once you do it you're going to see these issues weren't as big of a deal as you made them out to be. Remember that next time too and it'll help you deal with these attacks more efficiently in the future. I promise.

@musicgirl1991, firstly, you have your MASTERS!!! thats such an achievement, grats!!! 2ndly, there are chat groups??? where?

regarding not doing well at your certification exams, as much as it sucks, we cant all pass every time. just keep on trying, its really disheartening, but i believe there is a lesson in everything that goes wrong. think about it, when things go well do we say the lesson i've learnt is xyz? no, we dont, but when it goes wrong, we're all up in arms about how terrible everything is, we dont see why things didnt turn out the way we expected or wanted them to, we just get emo and give up. when we try find a reason/lesson why we failed, why something didnt go as planned, why something crashed and burned, we are enlightened with this information and from there, we can continue forward.

i envy your courage and perseverance for continuing to study. i, myself, only have my degree and am so scared of failing, i've let the years go by without me even trying to get my honours. so big up to you for graduating with your masters.

regarding a job, when the time is right, it will come to you. but dont stop trying. you've put your energies out there, there is nothing more you can do, feel good in the fact that you're doing your part.

if you werent trying, i'd tell you to get off your a$$ and try :)

things will turn out the way they're supposed to, just carry on pushing forward, one day at a time.

Exercise and movement is a great release for anxiety. A walk each day at the same time can be helpful to clear the mind; I like throwing on some music to set the tone of my day. You have accomplished quite a bit already. Be kind to yourself. It sounds like you are putting a great deal of pressure on yourself and judging yourself a bit harshly. You just graduated and most people take a break after they graduate to regroup and decompress. Thank you for sharing how you are feeling; please also be sure to connect with a friend and family member to share your feelings. You deserve to feel loved and supported by yourself and others.
