Check-in, Anxiety Support, 16 to 28 of February 2023
Do you worry more about the near or the distant future?
Some of our worries might be pointing continuously to the present, for example to our health or our current situation in life, which might not meet our previous expectations or standards.
Other worries might focus on how things will develop tomorrow or in a few hours.
Others might focus further away in time, like on challenges we might face some months ahead.
We might also worry about things years or even decades ahead in the future.
Questions:
-
Do you worry most about your current situation, about things in the near future, or about things that lie months, years, or decades ahead?
- How do you deal with these different types of worries?
- How have you been feeling these days?

I'm sorry to hear that you're feeling so overwhelmed and that you're experiencing difficulties with your health. It's understandable that you have a lot on your plate, with worries about your own well-being, your children, and your home.
It's important to recognize that worrying excessively can be harmful to your mental and physical health and to prioritize your own self-care so that you can be there for your family.
Here are a few suggestions that may be helpful:
Take care of your physical health: Make sure you are eating nutritious meals, getting enough sleep, and taking your medication as prescribed. If you're having trouble sleeping, consider talking to your doctor about strategies to help you sleep better.
Manage your worries: Try setting aside some time each day to write down your worries and any potential solutions. This can help you feel more in control and less overwhelmed.
Practice relaxation techniques: Consider practicing deep breathing, meditation, or yoga to help manage stress and anxiety.
Seek support: Consider talking to a therapist or joining a support group. A professional therapist can help you develop coping skills and strategies to manage your worries and stress.
Remember that taking care of yourself is not selfish, but rather a necessary step to ensure that you can be there for your family.
Ok imma be completely honest I've been going threw hard times with sexual urges at first it was not bad I would masterbate to pics I saw off *** or videos I saw on the hub, well eventually the porn videos weren't enough to fit my standards this is when my addiction got worse I would masterbate on a daily and for some reason idk why but I would get turned on by looking at my brothers *** idk why I would beat to pictures of him when he is asleep and I knew something was wrong with me at this point. I would always feel terrible not only would I have guilt and shame but I would have massive anxiety attacks about getting caught or someone finding out. I would watch self improvement videos on YouTube and always tell my self that I will stop that I will be a new person but then the next day I do nothing the videos tell me and I just go back to my old self. I have little to no motivation to push my self to become a better person and when I do someone makes me feel bad about myself or I feel bad about myself and I don't wanna try anymore some times I feel like there's no hope for me I *** myself off when I see people doing better than me and reaching there goals while I'm here still doing nothing I just feel like there's no point in living and when I think about getting caught for my actions. Im lost and hopeless and I need help or guidance.
I'm more worried about the future than I am about what's in front of me. The unknown holds fear for me, and I will worry about things happening in the future that are beyond my control. I would want to foresee the future if I could.
In times of anxiety I try to distract myself by going to listen to music or watch a movie. Or talk to a friend about their worries, sometimes saying their worries is a good way to relieve anxiety.
Most of the school exams are over and it's slowly going into vacation mode, so I think I've been in pretty good shape lately.

1.Do you worry most about your current situation, about things in the near future, or about things that lie months, years, or decades ahead?
Current situation. When I start to feel settled, I worry that something unexpected will come up to alter my hopes/plans for the near future as it has happened in the past.
2.How do you deal with these different types of worries?
Talk with a counselor/friend, pray/read my Bible, get active.
3.How have you been feeling these days?
Overwhelmed
