Can't calm down
Woke up and can't seem to stop the intrusive thoughts. Just jumping from one worry to the next. I don't know how I get here exactly or how to leave. It is so frustrating because I have people to be there for. I just don't have time to miss a second. Just so tired of this, day in and day out.

I know how that feels.... the thoughts controlling the mind.... trapping you... and it feels like you can\'t escape... but you can.. try and do something that you enjoy to distract yourself and be positive! Believe that you can do it and escape from the grasp... yes it\'ll be hard but your a strong person.. its great that you think of other people.. but right now think of yourself and work on getting out and once your out you go out and help these people! :) you can do this...
Thank you so much Angel93! It is amazing how depression and anxiety warp the brain! Seems like I get so focused on worry sometimes I forget to try and distract myself with other things. Will do! Thank you so much for the very kind words!
You are so very welcome Lapsmom10! Ya forsure, hey it happens.. :) that\'s what depression can do.. it can take our focus away and make us focus on the negative side of things instead of the positive... your very welcome.. a return for all the help you have given me..
Angel93 gives good advice. Remember. there are times we have to save our selves to be able to be there for anyone else at another time. Be good to yourself. Maybe tomorrow we will both be able to crack a smile! We will beat this stuff my dear friend. Remember, you are never alone. Even when you would like to be! You\'re far too important.
Thanks hopeless!! It sure helps to come here and be able to say it.
This is the place to rant!! Let you friends be your sounding board.
But, be careful. Like hopeless said, we have to take care of ourselves to be able to take care of others. You can let bad feelings stay, or you can say, \"Not now. Your out of here!!\"
Laugh. It does a body good.
