Hello, it sounds like you have been experiencing symptoms of anxiety. There could be a lot of reasons for you to feel the way you do. The stress you feel can be due to work, personal life, or simply the current state of the world. Times are difficult and we have had to adapt very quickly to the drastic change in a really short amount of time. You may be engaging in overthinking, wondering about the future and fearing the unknown. Occupying our mind with thoughts that are mostly negative can cause mental as well as physical exhaustion.
Try to practice some meditative techniques and deep breathing exercises whenever you feel stressed or start to panic. Take steps to clear your mind by distracting yourself or practicing mindfulness. This will allow you to be more present in the moment and not worry about the âbutsâ, what ifsâ, and âmaybesâ. Self-care is also incredibly important and you can practice it by engaging in activities that relax or calm you. You can also take some time out to engage with your hobbies. Self-care is very intimate and looks different for everyone. Find some self-care practices that work for you and aim to include them into your routine.
Beyond these practices that you can adopt independently, you should also seek professional help. Therapy is a boon that will help you develop the necessary skills to manage the negative thought process and convert them into thoughts that benefit you. Talking to an expert will also help you identify patterns of thought and behaviour that affect you in a negative way and change them. There are several organizations and independent setups that offer free or affordable therapy with various offers that you can avail. Talking to a mental health expert will help you feel much better and allow you to rid yourself of those dangerous and painful thoughts. Take care!
