Over whelmed by negative thoughts. How do you cope?

Post Reply New Topic

Makes TOTAL sense my friend.

I am in that place at the moment, (for about 3 months now) I just need a break from my thoughts; I cant switch off. I need Respite... just for a while. I had to start sleeping tabs just to be fit for work (cant take those forever though)

Unfortunately I have a number of external pressures (work/home) which are not giving me time to settle down. These are mostly out of my control.... feel like a leaf in a stream.

All I would say is this.... I have been here before ... I will probably be here again...... but time does imperceptably change things..... try to be open to positive stuff when it happens.

Hopefully you will look back in a while and notice that it just kind of went away or changed.. and hopefully into something more manageable.... just keep moving.

Try to remember that they will pass. Fill your head with amusing thoughts and happy songs. I like to go walking and goof around with the dogs. There are many mistakes I made in my life. Things that I could have done better. Big social mistakes that can not be undone. This is life and we are not perfect. Try to forgive yourself and make peace with your demons.

When I am vulnerable, the automatic negative thoughts return. I try to find ways to push them aside, to forgive myself and make peace with them. It is a work in progress.

I had negative thoughts over the past 5 months due to a cultural conflict in my family between my mum and I. I kept myself busy and distracted myself with my special interests. I've also worked on a lot of paintings and drawings. I've also made things right by going to visit my parents on Mother's Day. I've also tried to Sweet Pea my mum all day, yesterday.
