Yesterday I felt completely and utterly hopeless. Now things in my life really arent bad at all. Starting school again is of course a bit stressful and so is the fact that my friends essentially kicked me out of their group this summer but other wise I have a loving and supportive family and boyfriend so I don't know what could have caused this. As for how I felt: it was the lowest of lows I have felt in a long ttime. All I wanted was to disappear. Just wanted to know if this happens to anyone else or if I'm just being dramatic...
Your not alone love,it happens to us all,last week I was ticking on as normal and this week I'm fighting a battle with my anxiety and I'm in all kinds of states,1 minute I think I've controlled the sensation then next I'm pulling my hair in frustration,it's hard but not forever just have to keep reminding yourself xx here if u need to talk it's been helping me today
In no way does what you have said come off as dramatic! Some say this kind of behaviour is 'attention seeking' and 'fake' but they don't get it! I've been where you are and even the other day i've thought the same way. We fail to recognise all the positives in life and focus on the negatives and it isn't our fault!
So I learnt of this technique I need to try out and I think you should too- even if things are getting better :
At the end of every day, try writing down three positive achievements or things that made you happy in that day. It can be as simple as the toaster perfectly toasting your bread for breakfast to getting a great result in a test
I went through this whole 'screw everyone and everything phase' last year where I just disconnected myself from people I knew weren't worth my effort and time and I am happy I did because now I have the best, most caring friends and boyfriend!
Just remember to take some time to think of all the good times with your family, friends and boyfriend.
Good luck with school and any exams.
Thank you very much. I am better today and hopefully it will stay that way. I am here to talk as well if you would like.
Really pleased your having a better day,keep smiling xx
You too! Hope things get better for you as well.
