getting my anxieties of the day into words and sharing those words within my support network is always my first step.

listening. . .
you are not alone.

We hear you and welcome you to this forum. What you describe about feeling nothing is going your way is something many people share with you. Life is sometimes harder than at other times. Do you feel you need to seek therapy or assessment with a psychiatrist for medication that could potentially help you?

Good luck. I had been an anxious person most of my life, corrected it, and then suddenly my wife developed severe anxiety and am dealing with that. A few suggestions,

1. Thinking, thinking, thinking. People who practice golf generally get better. but people who thought about and studied happiness unfortunately did not become happier. More doing less thinking at least that was what was discussed at today's therapy.

2. Break things into small manageable tasks.

3. Your task is not to evaluate your life, whether there could have been different choices, but decide how to handle things in the next day or week.
Have you done a good job in that time, did you make your life better, did you help people. those are the questions I think should be asked.

I also deal with anxiety. And added life stress has been making what I have always had so much worse. I feel like nothing is going right these days and it’s a constant battle to stay present and work on my anxious thoughts. It’s not impossible but it does get draining. I am in therapy. But I constantly working on my anxiety. I know it’s not easy task and it’s very much ongoing. I personally do a lot that helps me. I know that can differ for everyone tho. Journaling helps me immensely. I also do a lot of music. Exercise helps but due to health stuff I had to stop that but will be able to start back soon thankfully. For myself exercise helps so much! I not that good at making time to meditate but it helps if I can focus long enough. Lol. You really aren’t alone Altho it seems that way for me too really.

Hi, I totally get this. Home is a safe haven and its where we feel most comfortable. Especially since Covid, its become completely natural to want to be home so please don't be too hard on yourself. It's okay to want to be home and when you do leave home, know that each time you leave and come back is a win because you went out and made it back. Each departure is a victory because you exposed yourself to the outside world and we all know how unkind the world can be. Keep your chin up and enj0y your safe haven. In terms of what to do, I'm in the same boat. I try to take it day by day and count my blessings - home is one of the biggest, its a roof over my head and a place where I can be myself.
I hope this helped even a little.
