I need some help to survive today. The anxiety is relentless, and so is depression and the existential fear and dread. My body is hurting and I feel very confused and depersonalized.

I feel so alone and horribly scared. I have not felt this afraid in the longest time.

Having major issues trying to keep composed. The weather is scaring me, life is scaring me, a family member has a lot of health problems and I am fighting this neuropathic burning pain and inner shaking that gets worse every time I get really stressed. Thank you.

In therapy, there is something called "catastrophizing." It is when you fixate on worst-case scenarios, a problem I frequently have. I get overwhelmed by the awful things in my life and can't think beyond them. So far though, I've only hit about 2% of all the terrible that could happen, despite often being certain that the worst is about to happen.

The fact is, life is a bag of shit. But it is not a bag of demonic scorpions.

I think I am going to go and print this and frame it. So well said. Thank you.

Thanks. No, no alcohol for me. Yes. I did/do take meds. I have experienced some very disabling effects from some of them. I'd ended up in this painful uncharted territory where I just haven't felt myself for a few years, and life is beyond frightening and things are just scary or extremely sad or both. I get bad reactions with meds now. They used to help. Now I just take them to survive due to severe dependencies.

@ThinkingAboutThis do any of the "grounding" techniques work for you when you are feeling like this? - I know sometimes it's just too far gone to be able to pull back and feel anything xx

Grounding techniques do help at times. Sometimes, I just forget that they even exist. Thanks for the reminder.
