All kinds of exhausted

@WolfOwl i suggest you listen to a preachers sermon joel osteen works really good when im feeling like that you can find his podcast on podcast addict just search his name and the podcast should load also try praying

@WolfOwl you sound like the me from three weeks ago. I didnt think things would or could get better but they eventually did. Positive thinking is very difficult when youre down but you should certainly give yourself credit for even trying it given how youre feeling. Im no doctor but Ive been through some s*** so if you need a friend or someone to talk to Im happy to help. Just by turning to this community you are taking steps in the right direction! 7-cups has been very helpful for me. The listener I had at my lowest point was fantastic so I encourage you to leverage them if you are interested. Take care my friend.

Hello, thank you for the advice and I do agree that postive thinking had honestly been the most difficult thing in such times. Negative thinking is harder to supress, and when I do think of something positive, my mind will eventually start conjuring up all the "what ifs" situations and things will start going downhill again. I'm aware that there's no point in thinking about so much what ifs in life, but these thoughts can't help but overpower the positive ones even though they are unlikely to happen.

Previously it did help with positive thinking, I had a more positive outlook towards life and actually had the motivation to do what I set myself up for. Currently I may be able to come up with a positive thought but it's difficult to keep it there for very long.

@WolfOwl

I may be about to ask too many personal questions but I really just want to help. Have you been diagnosed with any mental illnesses? Are you taking any medications? Are you currently involved in any therapy with a qualified therapist? Are you practicing any mindfulness activities (meditation etc.)? You can tell me to F off and mind my own business and I wont be offended haha!

@Weisseguy

No worries, it's all good. I haven't been officially diagnosed with anything yet, and quite frankly I don't really trust medicine cause though they can help in the short run, most important is still you yourself wanting to overcome it.

I haven't tried meditation (can't keep still and quiet for that long), but I do keep journals/diaries to document my thoughts as well as do self-reflection. If that counts.

@WolfOwl

I had a really nice long reply drafted and the app crashed. I

@Weisseguy

No worries, take your time. I had the same issue before as well, drafted a long reply but when I temporarily locked my phone and came back a moment later, the entire thing was gone.

Take care yourself as well.
