I am just not so sure how to handle it any longer. All therapeutic techniques including mindfulness, journaling, speaking, writing emails to myself and more... They're just bandaids.
What is the best way to stop a mind from #AutomaticThoughts ?
Do you have any ideas???
I am new to anxiety and automatic thoughts that keep popping up. I do have a therapist, but she isn’t helping me. I don’t have friends. I’ve had social anxiety for years. This new type of anxiety came from having harassment at work. Which has stopped. I just want relief. How to shake this stuff? Months latter I keep getting feelings that people are angry.
They tell me nothing is wrong or they are not mad. I get this feeling like they are and just won’t tell me and their not upset. What do I do? I don’t work until Monday and I’ve been off today. Stressing a lot all day. I want to stop please
I’m not feeling so good today, I have so many thoughts buzzing around in my head and even if I speak to my fiancé about them, they are still there going round and round in my mind.
I want to do well for myself, I want to achieve everything positive that I’m able to do, but I can’t help but want to punish myself. torture myself with flashbacks of childhood, how others have treated me. I’m a tiny little girl in a 23/24 year old body having to live this life full of responsibilities that I wasn’t prepared for cause I spent all my childhood consumed with the mental, verbal abuse from family members. specially my parents, which make it a hell of a lot harder knowing that your parents that are supposed to stick by you, support you and care for you don’t. and are no where to be seen on a regular basis. I feel chewed up and spat back out by my parents and I constantly feel like I’ve got to do everything on my own. I would do anything to have a close relationship with both my parents.
how do you appreciate a life you didn’t choose to have, my childhood was filled with such manipulative, guilt tripping, selfish behaviour that I struggled to understand as a child. and now being an adult I feel like I’ve created such bad coping mechanisms to help me cope, that don’t really help me cope as much anymore. but letting go of them is like loosing your favourite childhood blanket that you couldn’t sleep without.
I’ve got so many home truths buzzing around in my head, I just want to hide.
having that fire in my belly to achieve a healthy, happy content way of life, but also being dead scared to change anything just in case it sends me south and it making me worse.

Every time I go to store I use the mobile wheelchair cart. Cause I can’t make it walking through the whole store. I’m 24 years old and everyone gives me dirty looks. I try to ignore it but it does bother me. When they start whispering. #WheelchairUsers #AutomaticThoughts #Anxiety
I find my depressive thoughts convincing and feel like they are real. But I know they are lies and are not based in truth. Its really hard to explain that I know they are not true but still believe them.
I hope what I said above makes sense. Any tips on how not to believe in the lies my brain tells me?
