Feeling unhealthy
My anxiety is making me so passive and lazy. I feel so unhealthy which just leads to more anxiety...
Hello, @marianda8 :)
I'm sorry that you feel very anxious. As someone who also suffers from the same mental health issue, I feel that way, too, sometimes so I know it's never easy to have not-so-nice thoughts and feelings about ourselves.
What do you do to deal with it? For me, music helps. Sometimes, temporarily doing a digital detox can also do wonders for me. I try several different approaches because every single time I get an attack, different ways of dealing with it work. It's not always the same thing. Sometimes, it could be dancing. Sometimes, crying. Sometimes, it's walking around in a park with music in my ears as I ignore everything and everyone around me. Sometimes, it's just me lying down on my bed and letting my thoughts wander (but of course, not letting it get the best of me to the point of activating feelings of self-pity and self-doubt).
Do what works for you. It's always good to try one more time. Don't look at the times you've tried and didn't work. Let's try to focus our energies on the list of things to still try and check off our list. Sometimes, a change in mindset gets us through so much.
I hope I've helped.
Thank you so much
I will definitely try
Early mornings and weekends are bad for me

so sorry you feel unhealthy. what can you do to not feel lazy?
Hi it may be beneficial to highlight the root of what is causing the anxiety as a start. Any ideas what may be causing it?

So sorry that you feel anxious. I went through mental health issues and I understand how it feels. What helped me was the small thought that things will get better. I see why you feeling unhealthy is only leading to more anxiety- because that what anxiety does to us. Seems like everything makes us more anxious. I had to be patient with myself and remember that it will past. How do you cope with it, I know it can feel painful at times. I had to meditate, although at first that made me more anxious, I used guided meditations and practiced it a lot. I also had to talk and focus on things beyond myself. I know it is rough but you deserve happiness. Hope it gets better!
