Frustrated
Fri, 2011-09-02 12:14 | by ad20249
I've been feeling very down lately. I feel like I'm ruining my relationship because I can't seem to control my thoughts or feelings. I'm always afraid something bad is happening, I'm doing something wrong, or that I am not enough. When I have good thoughts in my head I seem to start thinking of all the negatives of why I am being so positive and making myself believe I can't be happy or I don't deserve it. I feel like I'm pushing away the people I love because I can't control my thoughts or feeling. I've been trying to take the steps to help myself be more controlled and positive but I'm having a hard time finding anyone to talk to in my area, they are all way out of my price range and I'm feeling very lost. If anyone has any advice or words of wisdom they would be greatly appreciated.
your are not alone
i exactly know how you feel, i've been through so much back relationships, that now that i have found a nice person, i found myself bringing me down. telling myself that it would not last, that something bad would happen that i would not be able to be happy or just that i would get sick and he would leave me. it may sound crazy when my boyfriend is the most adorable man i have ever met, he treat me like no one ever did. what i do he's just tell myself that what would happen would and that by God's grace I too would be happy, I too deserve love and happiness in my life because i know that He didnt bring me on this earth to spend my time suffering. try to positive self talk, it will gradually take root.
good luck
I can relate to everything
I can relate to everything you said.
It's strange, I can't find anyone around me to talk to about
how I feel but I come here and the first thing I read says
exactly how I feel.
It would be hypocritical of me to say," It'll be OK", or "Just stay
positive".
It's hard work!
I just take it one day at a time.
And I try to do positive things for other people.
Sometimes just listening to someone else or telling someone
something positive about themselves makes me feel
better when they smile.
I figure if I cant help myself I might be able to help others.
Hope this helped some.
I KNOW HOW YOU FEEL!!! ....I
I KNOW HOW YOU FEEL!!! ....I got a new car , my wife got a promotion, we had a great birthday party for my wife and in the back of my mind i had this feeling that all this good and fun could not be true. I had thet feeling that I did not derserve all the good, four weeks ago I had my firts panic attach and it was the most terrifying experience and I became more worried.
I RECOGNIZED THAT I HAVE A REAL ISSUE IN MY LIFE and what I am now trying to do is read material, research, reach out to friends and people and tell them my feelings it does makes me feel good. I also started counseling and I am also working out a lot amd doing yoga.
If you keep your feelings inside it does not help at all, part of getting the life back on track is to express your feelings to someone . To me it feels like you are getting 1000 lbs of your back
