General anxiety caused by routine day-to-day stresses usually passes quickly and is experienced by almost everyone at one time or another.

Why?

Hey ya'll. Its been a couple days for me, and my anxiety hasn't been terrible, but it still manages to plague me at some point every day. I've really been struggling with self-worth/self-esteem, depression, feeling like I know I exist but no one else does i guess you could say invisible. Feeling like I don't even know why I bother because I'm looked over so much I might as well be a doormat. I've been feeling lonely, and out of touch, anxious, out of place, like I smile on the outside but on the inside I'm crying. I've cried about seven times in the last couple days. I don't know or understand how I feel or why I feel like that. I feel so lost in everything and like I need something to ground me.

Have you see a psychologist? See a psychic too. Becarefull of Scams. Many psychic try to scam people. I know is hard to find close friends and lovers. I pay to have some company.

I was the fifth of eleven siblings. I grew up feeling so invisible that I often thought invisibility was my super power. I could go anywhere and do anything I wanted because nobody could see me. I have some colorful stories about my proofs to the contrary. . . I hate it when reality intrudes on a perfectly good fantasy.

So. . . Did posting here help ease the feeling any? I hope so.

For what it's worth:
This is another symptom where I get some solid relief from my grounding talismans and other tactile grounding exercises. The physical sensations and mantras help remind me that I really am here and real.

Yeah posting did help just a little. Just wish these feelings would go away completely.

That wish is still on my own wish list, as well. I believe it's important to be optimistic enough to keep wishing, but. . .

Sigh. . .

Okay, okay. . . I can make do with whatever relief I can find while I wait for my Fairy Godmother to fit me into her busy schedule.

Sigh again. . .

Have you tried talking to a professional about what you are going through? They will be able to help find your trigger and figure out the best way to overcome what you are struggling with. I am so sorry you are dealing with this! I hope everything gets better.

    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...
