My thoughts

ceelale April 9th, 2020

Today and yesterday I've been having some dark thoughts, I would rather not say them out loud but they can be bad. Most of the time there about me or my family. I start to worry and stress out because I keep beating myself up , I start to tell myself I'm horrible person for thinking such things and why would I even think of that. My therapist told me it's just my anxiety and how I should not dwell on my thoughts and let them go and how when I get those thoughts I should do something productive . Which I have been doing and it works . About 3 weeks ago too I kept having dark thoughts too but I couldn't cope and I was struggling. As of now I'm doing better. Sometimes it's hard though and I start to get depressed. I know I'm doing better but it's still hard sometimes.

Dealing with anxiety is very hard. It sounds like you're on the right track if what you're therapist told you is working. I'm sure the thoughts can be scary. Try to not judge yourself. Maybe working a growth path on anxiety would be worth pursuing. Hang in there.

@Kathy1212 yeah it is but I do feel like I'm going in the right direction and I'm feeling better. I try not to but it's hard sometimes. But 7 cups and my friends really help ❤️. Thank you!

It is hard, but it seems you are doing a good job, don't give up. Remember that those thoughts are not you so you are not a horrible person for having them, they are like clouds they come and go. Hugs :)

@ceelale Hi ceelale, thanks for sharing. My dear I had severe anxiety disorder years ago and I managed to get my life back. Just sometimes I have that same thoughts like you ( like im gonna hurt someone) and believe me it used to freak me out and than my anxiety would make it worse. Best it to chill and let it go or like i read in the DARE response from Barry mcdonagh to engage them and not to take them serious. Take care, and i totally know what your going through. Remember that your not alone. 😁

@ceelale More than happy to chat with you whenever. 😁

I recommend you the book DARE by Barry if you didn't hear about it already. It helped me to get a look above the issues we are facing. 😎
