My mind is a mess on many levels

Keywords: {0}

Things that should take me mere minutes, takes me over an hour. I forget important things. My mind tricks me into thinking I’ve done those important things only to remember weeks later that I never did complete something. The depression and anxiety that has come along with all of this has been insurmountable at times. I try so hard to be positive but when I’ve literally felt these awful feelings in my bones, it’s been very difficult.

All of these methods hopefully can help you in situations where your mental wellbeing isn’t okay and can help make changes to build a life worth living.

Have you ever had an anxiety attack? I have. It’s not a pretty sight. At all! If not, well let me try and explain it to you in the best way I can. Have you ever felt like your head is screaming for you to do something but you can’t physically move? You feel sick with worry, your hearts pounding at a thousand miles an hour and your sweating balls. Breathing? What’s that… you can’t catch your breath back at all. It’s like running at the speed of light and trying to recover afterwards. In that split moment, with all that going on. You genuinely feel like your about to die.

That for me is my explanation of what I feel when I have a panic/anxiety attack. It’s nasty and it takes alot out of you. I’ve had times when I can’t even see people. I LOVE going to the…
