Want to go away..

Today, was not a good day.. it was a very hard, anxious, emotional day.. this morning my anxiety was through the roof like it felt I was suffocating as it was hard to breathe, it was so hard to get out of bed too this morning, I was not feeling it like I felt really trapped and alone like really alone.. like having no one to talk to..  my "other self" as I have called her had come out today, and dealing with that plus feeling anxious was very hard to cope.. like I wanted to go away today.. I didn't want to be here.. it's getting harder every day to get out of bed in the mornings. From sleepless nights to having a hard getting up has been taking a toll and I can't do this anymore.. there's no more anything but an empty she'll of a lost girl in a sea of darkness..

I understand how you feel. I've struggled with major depression and severe anxiety for many years. Sometimes I just want to escape also, and run from everything. All I can say is to keep trying to take one step at a time. Things will get better eventually, so we have to focus on those moments.

I also suffer from anxiety and depression. I have learned so much the last 10 years. As hard as it is, I try to get outside in the sunshine everyday and get a little exercise. Also, I just read an article about probiotics and how they help anxiety. Hoping you are able to get out of the darkness.

I am sorry for what you are going through. Try to think more positive and plan something to do after you get up. I find it easier to get out of bed and get myself started for the day if I have planned something to do. I have struggled with depression and anxiety since I was a child. Take one step at a time and one day at a time.

I also have an "another side" of me. He comes when I realize all the bad what's going on in my life and the bad that I experienced. I have trouble getting out of bed, going to sleep, and doing things that I'm required to do. I try to not think and just do. It's work for some months, but I'm back to reality now :/. This isn't even helpful... Mb xc

    It's National Doughnut Day!Which three would you like? (never mind the calories, fat, or sugar content; just go with what you would pick if none of that mattered and whatever health issues you might have that would keep you from eating one in real life can be cast aside for this exercise as well... have at it!)
