I really am getting to the point where I just feel like giving up. I’m tired. Tired of battling with myself all the time. Tired of trying to fight the anxiety, which I try not to let win, but sometimes I’m just so tired I give in. Does anyone else get to this point? Please tell me I am not the only one 🙁 I am running out of ideas as to what I can do, things seem to work for a little while but then I have a panic attack and go right back to the start. It’s like a never ending cycle that I wish I could break but I don’t know how!
I’m going through something really similar. I started crying when I read this because I thought I was the only one. I guess I am not alone so neither are you! In the moment of a panic attack, I try to focus on my breathing. Take a deep breath for 5 seconds, hold it in for 5 seconds, and let it out for 5 seconds. I go this like 10-20 times and it helps me calm down. Even if you aren’t having a panic attack try doing it that way when your in that stressful moment your mind won’t be as blank. Hope this helped 🙂
Thank you so much for commenting. I thought it was just me, I’m glad I am not alone! Thank you for the advice I hope you’re doing okay.
Jessie you ARE NOT alone!! I to struggle and that’s how I found this site. I am relieved to know I/we are not alone.
I’m in search of tools to cope and grow!
Just know that You are enough .. it’s easier said than done but pushed through the pain..
Imagine what you would like for your life to look like and walking that momentum.
hope this helps
Thank you so much! That’s great advice You are enough too! I hope you’re doing well.
“walk in”
I can so relate to this. It’s so much work to fight it! Agree it’s sometimes easier to just give in. Just today, I tried deep breathing, meditation, exercise, positive thoughts (ugh). It works temporarily but kinda seems like yet another thing to do and feel guilty about.
I should add that I believe it is going to be worth the effort! But just being real and I appreciate you doing the same.
Thank you youre right it works for a little while. Just have to stay positive and we will get through it.
me, too, this is why I try to kill myself all the time. Meditation has helped me, and trying to do things that I want to do to feel better. But I’ll look at the other comments too because honestly, I’m feeling the same thing and just too exhausted to fight the demons anymore. I hope you make it, Jessie:)
Thank you I hope you do too!
