I feel very low at times, overthinking is a part of my nature. Sometimes I feel sad without any reason. I get very irritated at times. I have slowly developed anger issues. I have been through phases because of which maybe this has happened. I have lost both my parents, there is a lot of stress built up in my head.. when I am around people I am a complete different person. No stress, super enthusiasm, feels like nothing happened. I suffer from severe mood swings.
Please help me to figure this out

The most effective solution for dealing with anxiety for me personally was waking up early. Iam not a morning person but once i tried this, i was surprised how good this made me feel. It helped me find peace and calm myself down. Having so much time in my hand I could do small things that made me happy and I felt a sense of accomplishment just by waking up early. I feel the most anxious during the night- so sleeping early really helped me tackle it to a great extent.
Meditation was another thing I tried when my anxiety was at its peak. Trust me- for someone who thinks a lot, it is no joke to shut your mind down and focus on your breathing. I could concentrate for very few minutes in the beginning but my thoughts kept spiraling back. So listening to some meditation music while i meditate helped me increase concentration. It helped me analyse my recurring thoughts and gave me more clarity about them.
Mostly during such times I donât feel like interacting with anyone- thinking that nobody will really understand how i feel. Itâs great if you can talk it out and rant everything going on in your mind to someone who cares to listen. Taking it all out really helps. If youâre someone who is not comfortable with addressing this with anyone, then you can try writing down all that is going on in your mind. Once you take it all out in any manner, you will feel relieved.
If you feel like you are stuck between your thoughts and feel very helpless, just do SOMETHING. Take a walk, call up your friends and talk about something random, play with your pet - just do something to break that cycle that is going on in your head. Do anything that will distract you even for sometime. Take action without overthinking anything. Just go for it.
Being positive and thinking right is almost impossible during such times. One of the main reasons i avoid talking to people during this time is because they may feel bad/ give some positive shit which is not what I want. You know yourself the best- try starting small and appreciating small wins. Having a motivational self-talk session/ looking in the mirror and giving yourself some positivity might help. Appreciate yourself for how far you have come and remind yourself about your strengths.
Try to get a balance of the basic things that need to be right- Sleep, food, health and water level. Once you get these things in check it will show better results over time.
Having any kind of physical activity or a workout routine will help you fight anxiety. Doing this releases endorphins which trigger a positive feeling in the body. It will also help you reduce stress, improve sleep and help in fighting with anxiety and depression.
If all the above things do not help and you are still stuck with being anxious, then there is just one way out. Confrontation. Ask yourself what is troubling you and analyse your thoughts. Address it and not run away from it. You have to feel the anxiety, be curious about it and seek answers and find out what is really going on. There will always be an underlying message or something youâre trying to run away from and are too weak to confront that. No matter how much you run away from it, sooner or later you will have to face it. This is a long process and you need to be strong and have patience to tackle it.
Lastly, know that YOU ARE NOT ALONE. This feeling is just temporary. Think of it as your bodyâs way to communicate something with you. We feel this only when we have lost perspective and when we are lacking inspiration. We have to just find ways to get out of the drama going on in our heads and gain perspective. Anxiety is something most of us go through at different levels. We are just too weak to talk about it. It is a part of being human- you are not alone.
Distractions are good for stress.once that distractions over you may fall back into same situation. Nobody can control their thoughts.But you can have a worry box in which you keep your worries and don't process it.Find a suitable time for it.for example. you may select a time at 7 pm. You can process your thoughts that time.Relaxation and Yoga can help you. Keep yourself busy with hobbies and exercise.Healthy diet and less caffeine..Healthy coping skills are useful Accept yourself as you are . Having positive self talk in place of negative self talk is helpful.Share your thoughts with someone trust worthy .You should consult a counselor for further assessment
Hi
You are going through grief. It is not easy to deal with the loss of both parents. You are feeling upset, stressed, and angry. Don’t put too much pressure on yourself. Give yourself space and time to process thoughts, emotions, and feelings. Consult a psychologist and talk about how you feel. You can think of pampering yourself and being kind to yourself.
Next Steps
Consult a psychologist

Hi,
Loosing loved ones are not easy. In some cases influence entire life. But eventually we need to face with the reality otherwise we increase the challenges. If recently this happened to you and you lost your family, you symptoms are absolutely normal. But you need help to avoid this feeling to be continued. If these situation continue, can effect on your mental health and treatment will be more difficult.
You are very good with others as you don't need to think about your loneliness and lose, and you have others around you, but when you are alone, all the negativity and thoughts related to events, your situation, fears, future all occupy your mind and there is no any place for anything else. You need to consult with a psychologist/therapist to help you finish your grief and come back to the normal life...
Just think that if your parents were in front of you, could they see you in this situation??? Of course not, So please try to consult and help yourself to be strong enough to face with the challenges.
Life is this, we never can keep our loved ones with us for ever...
Please do take care.
