Bad thoughts (sorry if i affend anyone)

deleted_user
deleted_user
I feel as if im stuck in a rut. My depression and anxiety were brought on by the sudden death of a closed love one and having a daughter. It came really bad in the thoughts that something bad was going to happen to me. I no now that it was in my head but i still get really anxious and depressed about it. I still often think it.

Im not very religious but i do believe that thrers someone up there. Would he/she let me fight the thoughts and then take my life or everything thats good in my life away from me or would he/she let me take my own life months ago when i wanted to. It feels like this is holding me back in my recovery now. Is it really going to be taken from me?, or am i going to see my two daughters grow up?.

Please help if you can.
Sorry for the long post

no crystal ball. i understand anxiety more than i ever wanted to understand it. i think the hard part is letting go and only trying to control those things over which we have control. you cannot see into the future, i assume or you would not be guessing about its outcome so the thinb that you need to do, and it is hard as heck, is let go and let god/fate/inevitability..whatever, do its thing. you can only, really, control you. everything else is someone/somethings problem to deal with. i know its hard and scary but it is what it is.

You will see your daughters grow up. That will keep you hanging on. I have dealt with bipolar type 2 since the birth of my son. He is now 9 years old. It was there in my teens but not full blown until then. I hit very low points and the counselling and meds get me so far. The rest is up to me. When I get too low, so low that my life isnt worth it and I cannot fight any longer for myself...I fight for my kids. Hang in there and stay in treatment. Your kids rely on you to be there and doesnt being a grandparent one day sound great? Graduations and weddings,ect. There are many milestones in life you are going to reach with your girls. Just keep fighting.

Focus on the positive and that is that you want to see your daughters grow up.

I've got 2 children too and I've felt the life is not for me, but I took that choice away from myself, I know things in my life will get bad again at times but I now know that I will never take my own life because if I did did I would also be taking the life of my childrens mum.

You don't want your children to loose they're mum. Lots of people say "I love my kids, I'd die for them" I say "I love my kids, I live for them". There is strength in admitting you feel weak. Dont forget about your strengths.xx

Are you in therapy now? Counselling can help with many fears and will be the most effective treatment for you to live a life with your children.

Nobody knows whats in store for them, what if you stop fighting and live another 50 years, you'll look back with regret, fight on, it's a better life you're aiming towards and it's worth it, think of what you're teaching your girls, they'll be so proud of you.

    I'm trying to exercise daily. I was doing fairly well until I sprained my ankle 2 weeks ago but now I'm getting back on the horse. Today I walked over a mile with my arm weights that are about 22lbs total. I was out of shape and it was hard on my arms. I also did my 30 situps. I'm also going to drink a lot of water and try to eat healthy. I do tend to have a sweet tooth but I'm cutting...
