Hello there! I understand how difficult it might be to have such thoughts. While feelings of negativity and exhaustion can be extremely difficult to deal with, it is not unmanageable. Let me tell you that you have already taken the biggest step that a lot of people fear to take; you pushed yourself to reach out for help and should be proud for taking the first step in the right direction. All the other steps will follow now that you have realised that you need to ask for help. The most crucial thing for you to do right now would be to consult a psychologist for professional help. A psychologist is a trained professional who will look into your concern from multiple perspectives and help you manage your struggles in the best way possible. There are different types of therapy and counselling that might help you deal with these difficulties and your therapist will be able to choose the best type of therapy for you and guide you from there.
If you are not in a position to go for therapy, with the support of your family and friends, you can always look for online therapy or free counseling online. However, know that strength does not always have to mean that you deal with all your struggles by yourself. Strength also means knowing when to reach out and ask for help. So if you can talk to your friends or loved ones about it, that would be of great help. Remember, those who really love you and care for you will support you and encourage positive changes in your life rather than being disappointed with you and judging you. It is also important that you give yourself the time and space to make mistakes, because after all we are all imperfect human beings.
Here are a few things you can do alongside therapy to improve your quality of living:
Regular exercise - Exercising regularly, although a challenging task will make you feel like you achieved a goal and also keep you more positive throughout the day.
Eating healthy food - As they say the way to a personâs heart is through their stomach. So what better way than keeping your tummy happy to be a more positive person.
Take a break and do something you love when you are under constant pressure - It is always important to take breaks in order to help stay in a good mood. Doing something you love will increase the level of happy hormones and help you stay in a better mood.
Practising gratitude - When everything seems bad, look for the good things in life. Sometimes the smallest of happy things are what makes us happy the most. Look for things, people, places, qualities in yourself or your loved ones that you are grateful for. Practising gratitude helps us identify the good thing in life and also helps in self reflection.
You are strong because you reached out for help at the right time. Stay strong, stay happy!
