Help please

I really need some solid advice. I've had a few traumatic events over this past year that I am trying to move past. I do everything I can to keep rollin along and stay busy but every now and then it feels like it is just eating me up inside. I have soo much to be thankful for so I am trying to keep my thoughts concentrated on the good I have going for me and stay positive but I have days where no matter what I do I cant get certain things off of my mind. Its weird because im happy for the most part but at the same time I feel soo mixed up and mangled inside that it literally tears at me from time to time. I have taken a couple months away from friends to do some soul searching and find myself again because for a while I felt completely lost. Trying to adjust to multiple drastic changes and just go with the flow and I know it will all work out but im overly anxious and have a hard time being patient while things fall into place. Anyone have any advice for me?? I don't even know what type of advice im looking for but any words of wisdom would be greatly appreciated. Thank you much!!

Have you considered a therapist? Just talking to someone can help immensely.. hard to give more advice without some details but I doubt you want to share them here.

take 10 deep breaths nad try to relax you seem to be having a bit of anxiety over this you cant change the past i know its hard to stop thinking about it , about what you could do differently
I suffer from anxiety and i find myself mulling over the past constantly butits worth work it, just let it go

i'm not big on pills, but sometimes some anti anxiety meds are god sends..

Hello, I am sorry you are feeling as you do. Are you there?? I have a few questions??

I got your back

Yeah not really trying to get into details but I have had some really deep trust issues over the past couple years so I don't know if a therapist is the answer. I really appreciate your answer and advice though Bombur so thanks for the reply.

youre just overwhelmed right now hempy, it happens to me all the time once every couple of months i get so overwhelmed i just break down crying than i get up and talk myself out of it and "fix" anything i can.
You just need to relax and look at the big picture,

coming from someone whos struggled with debilitating anxiety and bipolar disorder and addiction most of his life. you should really voice these thoughts to someone in person . if you havent maybe find a pschiatrist who could see if chemically balanced speaking something is up. doesnt mean your crazy and in fact brain chemicals were bound to come with breeding at some point in history. you sound like you have some anxiety issues. and take it from me , if youre bipolar, have bad anxiety, the chances of you dealing with them on your own conclusively are not high. I struggled for 20 years with anxiety before getting medication for it. I dnt take it all the time because I HATE BARRE BABIES aka bar fiends, but theyre the only thing that help. get help before it effects your health like it did mine. I got mono twice in 6 months . yeah mono twice. nearly destroyed my lived, g bladder, and kidney. I was under immense stress at the time dealing with alot, and the doctors believe my immune system was compromized. Also you need to get some help with your anxiety before you start having really bad panic attacks. they come first not too bad, but they will get bad if you have them continuisly while thinking too hard, and having a car wreck while having a panic attack can very easily happen. i wish u the best of luck. PM me if ud like. may take a few hours to reply as Im very busy dude, but i joined this site to help people and plan to do so where possible. peace man

No details needed, just input in regard to relevance. PM me??

Smoke till you can't remember your name.

I find that if I'm feeling anxious, it's usually because I'm not being productive. So when I feel anxious I think about what I could be doing to better myself or my life, and instead of feeling anxious, I put all my energy into that. Same goes with depression. If I'm feeling depressed, it's because I'm thinking about the past, so I get to work on the future instead.

Whatever it is that's getting thrown your way wouldn't be there if you couldn't already handle it in the first place bro. Find your center, calm yourself down and do what we do best adapt and survive. The mind is based on routine any change feels wrong just have to find the courage to take the changes your trying to make feel right. Along with patience because you know what they say about patience.

spending time outside always helps me to clear my head. I'm not sayin' you're gonna walk outside into a damn epiphany, but after ya read some advice on here, maybe go knock it around in your head on a walk down your block or somethin. I'll keep you in my thoughts OP

My anxiety is terrible at times. Runs really bad on my dads side. My palms get really sweaty and I can just feel it through my whole body sometimes. Its not soo much that im anxious about how I could have done things differently in the past but more so anxious of what is yet to come. As far as the past goes, im trying soo hard to let go of it but subconsciously I get wrapped up trying to make sense out of certain things. Maybe I never will and maybe it will all play out in time and make more sense to me. Who knows. Trying to divert my thoughts elsewhere but that can be a bitch.

I just want to thank everyone thus far for the advice and words of wisdom. I don't really know you all well at all but it means a lot more to me than you all know so thank you soo very much.

not being able to let go is an anxiety symptom
i know exactly what youre going through my anxiety is so bad i couldnt leave my housefor 6 months, i have over 200 symptoms perday at least that are directly related to anxiety
its a mental condition with physical symptoms, and only people with anxiety wil ever understand how you feel
go to a doctor go get some meds to just help you for the first little bit. while i normally dont advocate medication like that anxiety is literally a chemical imbalance in your brain and its very hard to self treat it with cbt. (cognitive behavioral therapy)
the suicide rate because of anxiety break downs like this is astronomical, go to a doctor i beg you.

hempy all the advice and support you been getting here is great stuff especially about finding professional help....I would like to add I've had anxiety attacks and depressive moods for weeks at a time and knowing there is a beginning middle and end to these moods and attacks......helps....

i feel the same way all the time. my paranoia eats at me everyday , but on the same note .... i love life. been in an outta jail my whole life , lost most of my family before i was 20 ...... just another day. gotta keep goin !



Much Love!

You have PTSD... That's what I have..

Talking to yourself. Thinking everyones crazy. Wanting to kill people for no real reason.
Not eating for days at a time. Thinking life isn't worth it and it would be better if you're dead.

These are the things I deal with. Problem is, I have very high blood pressure. It runs in my family. So any medication I take makes my blood boil and I literally can't breathe...

Help? There really isn't any... Not from anyone... The medication is deep within... Loud music, meditation, Cool Movies, video Games, you need to get away from it all... And search from deep within yourself..

Good luck man
