Cant Take It Anymore Someone Tell Me It Will Get Better Please

[MesaRock]

i'm struggling hard and feeling extremely hopeless. had good check ins with my two therapists and shrink this week and even though i was honest they say i'm doing much better. but i dont beleueve them. i am again panicking after doing so much of yesterday. I have now inexplicably lost hope. I feel like I'm failing, dying. and will never feel okay. terrified. somebody tell me things get better, please. so scared

Panic.. #1 breathe, then try a mindfulness exercise like narrowing your world down to one simple task like buttering toast. Going over every tiny step involved. Distraction from anxiety, and slowing down thoughts. It's alot of work, but that helps a bit to ground

thank you..yes..that's helpful. i'm doing all my panic tools. the overall problem is that my endurance has run out for the daily fight. i feel beaten by this.

Sometimes it's hard to ground. Find what gives you peace and centers you, music, a walk somewhere and rest. Panic makes you forget you can do that. Hope you are able to get calm soon.

Hi MesaRock,
Thanks for reaching out.

What would slow you down right now? Optimal breathing, soothing things in the day that aren't too overwhelming or hard to do, taking time for yourself?

Things will get smoother and easier, I promise. You may feel all kinds of messed up right now, but that doesn't mean you're a mess, or that it will never start feeling different. Give yourself time and space. Just breathe and be, for a while. You're doing good.

 

[MesaRock]

thank you.

I've often wanted to increase my endurance. But that only goes so far. Instead I have to bit by bit chip away at what I need to endure, make it smaller.

Some times I just need to rest.

And grounding helps too.

somebody tell me things get better, please.

People gave you lots of great reminders for slowing things down and ground. I want to tell you things will get better. I am in the midst of a horrible time, but when I look back to 2 years ago, things are in some ways better now. And sometimes I experience better for a few days in a row. So, yes, things will get better. Its just depends on how you define better. It's something I am trying to work on remembering- one or two days or even a few months of feeling more "un-better" than better, doesn't erase the better that is slowly happening at the same time. I hope that helps.

It dies get better so do not lose hope ok? Your feelings and how you feel physically and mentally are so exhausting. Please nurture, pamper and be gentle and kind on you until you are able to find your center and become stable once again. This journey is extremely hard but so worthwhile. Also as a gentle reminder the steps you have taken up until now you will never have to repeat. I can relate to how you feel because I am struggling right now but yes it does get better. Please do not give up on yourself you are so worth fighting for.

It does get better, a lot of it is, you way you think.. Panic wont hurt you, kill you, or cause you any harm.. Keep telling yourself this, over and over....
