sick and tired of being sick and tired

[lotus]

I'm so sick and tired of all that anxiety and stress! I can't take it anymore. It's been 7 months now, and there's no improvement. I can't get out of my house. I'm 18 and I'm supposed to go out and meet people and have fun. Instead, I just stay in my room all day long and think and think and think, and feel anxious and feel anxious and feel anxious. 24/7. All the time. I'm so exhausted that I can't even watch TV or listen to music because it makes me feel worse. I'm tired of feeling this way and I'm tired of myself. I feel so sick and sad and desperate. In fact, I'm so exhausted, that I can't even cry! I can't find a way to comfort myself. Do you ever feel this way? :(

Hi Indie

It won't go away unless you tackle it and work at getting better.

What have you been doing to help yourself?

Diet, relaxation etc are important.

Have you got some relaxation Cd's to listen to?

Are you getting any exercise?

All these things add up to getting better in time.

hi, nic is right you might have to force yourself to do it but exercise will help and getting some fresh air even if its only going into the garden, its hard when you feel exhausted but really will help

*It's been 7 months now, and there's no improvement.**

What have you been doing each and every day to improve your situation ? It will not improve without hard work on your part.

*all day long and think and think and think, and feel anxious and feel anxious and feel anxious.*

By doing this and I would wager that a good proportion of thoughts are negative ones - you are keeping yourself deep in anxiety.

Energy follows thought - think sad - be sad. Think scary - be scared.

Hi Indie, many of us will associate with the way you are feeling right now, take things slowly, try to get a little fresh air, even if, as previously suggested it is to the end of the garden or to the corner of the street, it does seem impossible, but if you take it easy you will be able to do it, any mild exercise inside the house will be good too, in time you will be able to go out and enjoy yourself, but don't worry about that right now, just concentrate on getting yourself a little better, which will happen, not overnight, but it can be done keep in touch, you will be given a lot of good advice here and a lot of much needed support, i know i have.

indie,

i know that feeling!!!!

i would say it lasted about 8 months with me but you have to help yourself....and you can do it. you have to try to get out, however hard it may feel, however hopeless it may feel this can be beaten....trust me i know.

secret is small steps, just try to do one thing a day...just one.......and then build on this. this thing takes alot of beating but we all have it inside to beat it.

never lose hope.......as it does get easier and easier in time.....just thoughts indie, thats all they are......nothing to worry about my friend.

take care

Hi

I am also the same...believe me your not alone.seeing the posts on here have kjind of comforted me as its shows imn not the only one who feels like this. I suffer with depression anxiety and ocd.

Its horrible as you feel your the only one.....im 22 and becuase i dont feel like pubbin or socialising...most of my friends hardly contact me.thats what ive found really hard to deal with..it makes you feel even more of an outsider.

But looking at peoples posts on here i realise im not the only one......

if you wanna email me at all please do so: lisa123kitty@hotmail.com..i'm looking for epals to chat to .hopfully we can share feelings and help each other out.
