bruces Posted September 23, 2018 Author Share Posted September 23, 2018 Yes I know thank you I just wish I knew how to implement it and move forward Link to comment
taurean Posted September 23, 2018 Share Posted September 23, 2018 Go back and read the guidance that has been given on your threads. Make some notes. Draw up a plan. Bounce it off us if you like and it can be fine-tuned. Then put heart soul - and the kitchen sink - into gradually implementing it, riding over any setbacks along the way - just treating them as blips. Carrying out this exercise will give you a purpose, help you set some goals. Link to comment
bruces Posted September 23, 2018 Author Share Posted September 23, 2018 Struggling to find a positive or any way to turn things around with so many worries. Link to comment
lostinme Posted September 23, 2018 Share Posted September 23, 2018 Bruces we all have worries, some worse than others, but worries all the same, sadly this is just part of life Try not to see all your worries as a whole, break them down into individual ones and this way it’s not so overwhelming and to be honest some you will start to wonder what you was even worried about Link to comment
bruces Posted September 23, 2018 Author Share Posted September 23, 2018 (edited) I really cannot understand how people can get enjoyment from life,it's beyond me! I just wish other people knew the true heartbreak and misery that is mental illness Edited September 23, 2018 by bruces Link to comment
lostinme Posted September 23, 2018 Share Posted September 23, 2018 Yes Bruce, but we have to find the motivation to change the way we feel and think because otherwise we remain stuck. It’s not easy starting, but it’s easier than just living the life we are stuck in. Believe me when I say I know how you feel because I do, I’ve been where you are now and sadly there is only us that can make the decision to change. Link to comment

You aren't going to suddenly become anxiety free overnight but if you take small steps towards improvement, in time you will feel better. As others have said, set goals, make a plan, do the work. If you want to get better, thats what you have to do. Being afraid doesn't mean you can't do it, people do things even though they feel fear all the time. You can make the choice to do the work, or you can choose not to, its totally up to you. We can suggest, we can advise, we can encourage, but only you can choose to change your life for the better.

bruces Posted September 25, 2018 Author Share Posted September 25, 2018 Does anybody have any tips to help depersonalisation disorder? Link to comment
lostinme Posted September 25, 2018 Share Posted September 25, 2018 Hi bruces, I don’t really know much about it but with what I’ve heard and read that a mixture of psychotherapy, cbt and emdr can be helpful with this and usually medication for the depression can be helpful. The depression and anxiety will make it feel much worse than it really is. Are you taking medication for your depression at the moment? Link to comment
bruces Posted September 25, 2018 Author Share Posted September 25, 2018 Yes I'm on fluoxetine,it's an odd experience living in a kind of trance like state Link to comment
