for the past couple of days I’ve been nothing but overwhelmed. Overwhelmed with work and everyday things. Like I feel like the littlest things overwhelm me right now. I struggle with anixity and depression and it’s definitely an everyday battle. I’m so tired of. I want to go to therapy, but taking that first step to call is something that makes me panic.

I'm so sorry youre struggling right now. I will keep you in my prayers. I wish I could give you a huge hug right now. Take little steps hun. Just pick up that phone and make the call. you can do it. <3 It gets a little easier each time.. I know my life coach has the option of booking online maybe you could even find one like that :) Message me if youd ever like to just talk!

Gentle empathy, HowMuch. That first call can, indeed, be intimidating.

Here's to hoping that sharing about it provides the extra little bit of boldness.

Much like a "life coach", use a close friend/family member that understands your apprehension to talk with. Many times having someone to help support and be near can make a big difference, especially in that first step. I truly believe you will feel much better soon. You are not alone. hugs

Process the telephone call in steps. This will help you focus "in the moment". I have the steps written out next to the telephone, along with a list of questions to help me past the "freeze" that happens to me sometimes.

Here's to your success!

Sorry you are struggling so terrible these past days. Reaching out in some way always helps me. I either use FB or a support group which is much easier sometimes than using the phone. I lost something today that was very important to me and I am not trying to have a panic attack about it. I am staying on my daily schedule and doing a lot of deep breathing.....breathing always helps. Good luck with getting in contact with the therapist.

Hi,

I'm sorry you're feeling so anxious and depressed. Therapy can be a huge help so you should definitely consider it when you're feeling a little better. If you want to talk to someone, I'm all ears :)

Wishing you all the best!

    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!

    Ever since I stopped doing therapy because of insurance, I've been feeling that old tense and irritable sense of anxiety and stress. I hate that. I was making so many strides and changes during therapy, my therapist would acknowledge all of my progress and accomplishments, and I miss that reassurance. Today I thought about it, and I made those changes! She would always tell me that I chose to...
