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.

Need to hear positive things

Tired

Been trying to change my attitude from negative to positive for a while.  And today is


really bad.  Can't stop being negative about something that might not happen and


probably be not as bad as I imagine it could be.

Me too. Attitude is everything. Had enough of reasons to quit need some input to go on for a change.

You'll get through this bad day. I have no doubt that today was bad and I'm so sorry for that. Having negative thoughts about your life all day, every day is exhausting and you deserve to not feel this way. I myself find myself getting stuck in this negative feedback loop of dreading the worst and almost hoping for it.
You were brave to write it down and try talking about it. We're all here if you need to talk more.

If you're looking for some suggestions (which you might not be, and if that's the case ignore what I'm about to type), I might say to try the journal section on this site. I just started journaling this week and it's helped my mood and anxiety levels quite a bit actually. I never was one for the journaling type but it is helpful.

Hi Tired again, always sorry to see my friends having a bad day and always eager to help. I agree with the cathartic effect of putting difficult feelings in words and finding insight. This is why I come here. Ofter on leaving here I have a sense of relief that this is available to me. I am having better than average day today and wish I could share the peace of mind it gives me. Endure as I know you will.

Sorry you are having a bad day. When the negative thoughts come, don't believe them and try to think of positive things in your life. It helps to be around people who are positive.

As someone who has been the ultimate pessimist most of my life, I can tell you that you are not alone. My mind always has gone to worst possible case scenario, and it blows. And of course there is no simple answer, but practice makes perfect. The more you dedicate to changing your thought process, the more natural and easy it will come. Keep your head up even when you don't want to.

    I find myself going places in the car and not wanting to get out of the car. I come back home and I don't want to get out of the car. I think it's the only time I spend reflecting. Chronic tiredness from Long Covid plus the immunosupressing meds for my Crohn's is slowing me down but everything just seems a massive effort. I am dealing with the paperwork following my father's death but it's not...

    Wow, it's the middle of the week already!Today is our 11 year anniversary, so we're going out to a nice dinner.  I'm losing a lot of sleep these days, hence a wonky schedule and uncomfortable feelings.  But I know it will pass, eventually.I hope all of you have a peaceful day, and may good things come your way!
