You are not alone....I can assure you that youre not alone..I have struggled with issues of worry..those dreaded what-ifs...the future...worrying...My first panic attack was quite a few years ago, and happened so suddenly, it threw me off...I know all to well regarding overthinking...for I am experiencing this this evening...We know that worrying about the future is a waste of time, for its a waste of energy, yet we do it anyhow...We are overwhelmed and paralyzed with fear...Thats anxiety...The what-ifs...
As for you worrying about others problems...although it doesnt seem to make sense, you are just being compassion, and empathetic..Your caring is a good thing, its just wearing you out...If you expect the worst, I can relate..Its a self-fulfilling prophecy...I honestly believe in what you attract in a positive way, you will eventually manifest...I know its not easy...for I am still dealing with these issues due to past trauma with partners whm a life coacho were abusive...and addicts...

contd...I am a life coach, so I should know to let the negativity go...Its going to take time fo rme to feel worthy again...for I was extremely damaged...Im still struggling with my self worth...I recently signed up...I was here years ago on this site,regarding an ex who was an alcoholic...I am trying to update my profile...Im single now...I need to delete that...I am now dealing with anxiety..panic attacks...When you feel that overwhelming feeling, try your best to change your mindset immediately..My biggest challenge is no family, no friends...I dont confide in too many people, for I got tired of being judged...My Mom recently passed....She would get me through anything...I have recently been hit with many losses at once...and Im scared...but I have my dog who depends on me..

These are strange times and I think it would be less normal not to be a bit worried, especially after a car accident on top. If it’s taking over your life though you may need to do something about it. Some people find therapy good. I find exploring Buddhist and eastern philosophy more helpful, specifically meditation, non attachment and letting things go and seeing the bigger picture. Also good nutrition helps me a lot. I hope you find what works for you.

I honestly feel like giving up..I didnt sleep last night...I just kept going over and over my problems in my mind...with no solution...I felt my panic attacks coming on..and so I changed my mindset...to distract me...I have zero support group...I have nobody to talk to...just the walls...I think a support group is key....to know youre not alone ...This pandemic has made things even worse...Although I am struggling, its a process...Dont be hard on yourself...The car accident may contribute, because its a trauma...I broke my neck in a bad car accident when I was 19...I am blessed for I can walk...although it is traumatizing...I hope this helps....:)

Thanks for responses that was fast yeah I’m still a little confused why these feelings keep coming paralyze is correct that’s how I feel I play guitar and I noticed when I get stuck in my guitar I feel a little better but yeah the overwhelming feeling I worry about my future what if I lose my job what if I can’t survive anymore what if I can’t pay for my car payments stuff like that and what I meant by worrying about other peoples problems if I listen to your problem I started thinking about it and it becomes mine just reading what you all How many back to help me out somehow it put me back in the present I’ve been practicing breathing exercises but once again my guitar is the best thank you so much I think I picked the right group

Please forgive all my typos I’m using text to speech and I guess he doesn’t understand Cuban Ha Ha thanks a lot all Responses

Yes, meditation, and good nutrition are important..I try my best to follow a homeopathic lifestyle...Meditation is something I havent done in awhile...Thank you, for I believe I will try that tonite...I can tend to be hard on myself, yet encouraging to others...Ive always put myself last...I need to take my own advice...

Thats ok regarding your typos...I can relate there too..I am a musician ...singer...recording..etc...This pandemic has affected me a great deal...Guitar is wonderful....I want to thank you too..for its been a rough weekend....Breathing exercises are a great idea as well...thank you...Yes, this is a good group...It helps so much knowing we arent alone...

Ok I will look into meditation never done it don’t even no how to start I’ve always been hyper active since a kid never gave it much thought but have always heard others doing meditation thanks for info on car accident I really never thought of it as a trauma but I guess you are correct I’ve been so worried lately didn’t think about that thanks

Wow cool wish we could post sound bits here would love to her you sing a song awesome

Oh yes...the what-ifs...I know how you feel, for I am experiencing the same...my job, have to pa bills...We are living in tough times...Sometimes I find just knowing we are not alone in times of uncertainty, gets us through..Its incredibly overwhelming...The last 2 years I have endured many losses...My little dog is aging, she is 16....I just try and not think about that...

Ok I’m gonna try to go to sleep I go to work at 4am have great nite thank to all for adivices reallly helped good nite

Sure, if you may happen to have a link to your music...Music is my passion...The creative process is a wonderful distraction in times of anxiety..Also, there are simple exercises I have used on clients as a life coach that can tap into your subconscious and can maybe help you...When I took the course from my life coach a few years ago, I was amazed ...Search NLP on you tube....There are most likely calming exercises that you can target the subconscious....fears..etc...remove them and replace them with good positive thoughts..Looks like I could use a bit of that myself..I just had a bad fall a few months ago.. and hit my head on a concrete floor...I am healing from that...

Thank you too...Gnite.....Maybe we will talk soon..Keep up the guitar..:)

Ok let me find one I believe I have one post on SoundCloud look for Lucanius47
