@calmmoon2104 aww what made Taru feel anxious? Sending lots of resting powers to youu!๐
I hope you get some rest soon!๐ค
@Sunisshiningandsoareyou
Aw thank you so much Sun! ๐ญ๐
I needed the resting powers so much!
I have been getting so anxious and stressed over so much things, there's too much to do and so little time. I just really can't take this anymore, like if it was only this then it's at least a bit okay, but my intrusive thoughts are eating my mind, they are making me so frustrated and go crazy, I can't take this them anymore. They are so severe that I can't even sleep at night and do anything peacefully. I can not concentrate on anything and I always get so exhausted in trying to get the intrusive thoughts off my mind, trying to ward them off and just not think of the them. I don't want to even think of them, I don't want them in my mind, but they are uncontrollable and always come in mind even if I don't want them! I can't take this anymore, it's just mental torture and I hate this, I hate my thoughts, I want no thoughts like this, I want them gone forever and just leave my mind. They are delaying my speed and working ability by *** out the concentration and motivation.
They are always in my head, in everything thing I do literally. Even when watching a simple cartoon video, the thoughts are always in my mind and often come out of nowhere. They are severe at night... My head hurts so bad because of them.
Even when I am typing right now they are rampaging in my head, I am constantly on a war with my intrusive thoughts, I am going crazy...i don't want this. I hate this all. This is so tiring, frustrating..i am just truly tired. I want to rest, just have a silent mind, even for a minute.
I am sorry about this so long rant.. I don't know what to do or say anymore.. I don't know what I can say, I don't know..
Thank you again Sun for the rest powers, hopefully I get some rest and peace..๐

Aw Taru, I'm really sorry to hear having intrusive thoughts have made your anxiety feel worse lately. :(
Intrusive thoughts can be so pesky at times, not leaving us be in peace, it's a constant struggle to keep them at bay.
I hear it's specially difficult at night, preventing you to get any rest too, really valid to feel hatred towards these pesky thoughts and the challenges they bring for you. Living in what feels like a constant war between yourself and these thoughts can be so difficult, I see it's adding to your anxiety more. :/
Its okie to feel confused about what to do or say, I get it's an overwhelming experience, and when it's rather constant, the impact is felt in our daily life/ chores and overall wellbeing too.
The fact you could acknowledge them as intrusive, and express here how you feel is so commendable, I'm so proud of you for trying your best!
When we are in constant fight with something, the impact is closely felt and the more it captures our attention, the bigger it seems.
Would it help to identify these thoughts as passerbys, and find a space for them to let-go? (Let go, here is an expression towards finding them a space to "transfer to", from your mind, could be talking to someone you trust, someone in 7 cups, a journal if you prefer writing about it and how you feel, visualizing and through art etc whatever you're more comfortable with)
They aren't *yours* to keep, hold onto or ruminate about. And you deserve a break from them! ๐
What helps you cope with anxiety better? Maybe we can try to strengthen our safety toolkit to keep handy, to help us ground back in present.
Sending more resting beams your way, I hope you can find some calm soon. ๐ค
@juliak1968 I like your drawing Day ๐ Did you draw the wolf in your pfp too? That is really awesome!
@mytwistedsoul
Thank you!! Yes I drew the wolf for a friend and he is in the process of having it copied using thread in an intensive effort by his other friend. I hope you are doing great!! I have a new hobby: its a radio controlled crawler truck for hill climbing and rock crawling. I modified it so it steering radius is about double what it was and the 4 link suspension has full clearance now.
It keeps my happy for now. I hope you have time to enjoy your hobbies! Have a nice night!
Blessings, Day
@juliak1968 That's great! I'm glad you're getting into new hobbies. The wolf is just amazing. You're a really good artist ๐
Take care Day
@mytwistedsoul

Chin up, remember "there are no answers on the ground" so hold your head high!~
Big Blessings, Day
