Changing my Mind

Hello Friends!
I hope you have been well. I have experienced mixed #Emotions which sucks. Do you #rapidcycle at all? I know how #BipolarDisorder can really make things difficult. It does not help me when I have accompanying Anxiety/Panic disorder. #Anxiety and #Agoraphobia are never fun to deal with. I also suffer from #Thanatophobia where I fear the feelings of death, or the anticipation of dealing with another situation that can cause #Grief

I understand that there are many things that are out of our #control but, I am still #Trying my best to handle everything. We do what we can do, and I let God handle the rest.

Sometimes I am #afraid of going to places that I never went to before. I become afraid wondering if I will have some kind of #AnxietyAttack or even a #PanicAttack because of being lost. I also do not like traveling too far from home because it makes me #nervous !

How are you doing??

Fixing claustrophobia on my own

I have realized that it's not a mental or emotional issue or a condition, claustrophobia is actually lack of trust, it is the fear that we might not be heard, it is the loneliness. It's not the fear of dying its the fear of dying without anyone noticing or helping. It feels like what if I cry and cry for help but no body would be there to listen. It's the fear of being alone and not capable, not being independent.
So if you are claustrophobic please look into it from this view point and you will be amazed at it. May be you ll be able to find a solution for your self. #Claustrophobia #Thanatophobia #CTS #PCOS

how to be emotionally strong?

Since I have realized I become depressed anxious etc I feel like even a distressing movie or story make me afraid to my core. I don't want to hear any bad news, news including any factors which I feel distressing, I have 2 kids one 9 years old son and other 2 months old daughter. I can't hear anything happening to children or parents dying or kids hungry or lost. I am extremely afraid of poverty that how to fulfill kids needs. When I see my old parents I'm afraid of old age with associated illnesses. If I have happiness I have tears in my eyes, if see or hear something bad I start crying. I can't control my emotions. Any tips? #Anxiety #Thanatophobia #PanicAttacks #Claustrophobia #breathlessness #Depression #lackofconfidence

Sudden negative and bad thoughts

It's just me or anyone else start having bad thoughts like a dream you are thinking with open eyes and conscious mind. We have a really small washroom with our dining room and I seldom use it. I feel claustrophobic some times. Today I had to use it and I suddenly started feeling what if I'm locked in it my 9 yrs old can't help and what if he goes out for help and don't take keys with him to come back leaving my 2 months old daughter in the bedroom. This thought made me feel nauseated and I started shaking. I know for this or any similar situation God forbade I can't do anything but still I am too afraid. Please advise. I need help now. #Depression #Anxiety #PanicAttacks #breathlessness #lackofconfidence #Claustrophobia #Thanatophobia #CarpalTunnelSyndrome
