One worry to another

Purplemoon2008

Hi all I am really struggling right now I'm under a huge amount of stress . I Go from ruminating over one worry , then fix that worry then I'm onto another. I'm in constant tears I'm exhausted and feel so trapped. It's been going on a long time now and I just can't snap out of it ! It's no way to live , all I want to do is lay I  bed all day and the only thing i look forward to is bed time as my night time meds knock me out and when I'm knocked out I can't worry. I have suicidal thoughts everyday. My husband has booked a holiday for us soon I'm hanging on for that as I know I'd ruin their holiday if I left this planet. However when we get back I'll be off. Its no life .

  • Are you able to write your worries down? Sometimes it helps to see them in black and white. By writing them down it forces you to think them through and give a name to them, then they are more specific.

    This will help if you talk to someone. If you can't say them out loud you can show them the piece of paper. You can get a second opinion on them. Maybe the items can be prioritised, or you can work out timescales or break them into smaller pieces that don't seem so bad. Maybe some small bits can be outsourced.

    If you have a plan it will seem more under control, all the weight will not  be on you. There will be less to worry about.

    Also you can then look at them during a good period of the day and see if they are really as bad as you think.

    There will be something that will help.
