The everlasting thoughts on my mind.
Hey, Im new to 7cups and I thought Id share.
Im currently sitting on my room and thoughts are taking over me. I try to recount every little thing that Im happy for - which is so much, but the dark thoughts seep in and I start worrying. I unconsciously start shaking and before I know it, Im at a state which feels too much to handle.
The dark thoughts take over.
What if something happens to someone I love?
Do I deserve to be here? Why cant I be okay even when Im getting support?
Am I burden?
These thoughts come unwelcomed and they take away my smile, my motivation and all my energy and I sit here waiting for something. Im worrying about everything. All I do is worry.
Every little thing takes places in my head.
Why am I so empty?

I too worry a lot if I let my mind wander. One thing that helps me is to remember that my worrying can't change anything. It also helps to remember that practically nothing I worry about ever happens so the worrying was all for nothing.
Try to find ways to be mindful and stay in this moment. Meditation works wonders for me in quieting my mind. Tell yourself, "In this moment I am fine". Repeat that over and over until you belive it.
I am sending happy thoughts your way.
When I get into dark waters, and the thoughts start overwhelming me I am reminded by this:
"Sometimes even to live is an act of courage." - Seneca
I hope you find the peace you are looking for and you are not alone and it is okay to have these thoughts but understand that the first step to overcoming these thoughts is to begin from within.
Love yourself, trust yourself.
Sending good thoughts and happiness your way.
