Hi, lately for the past month everyday Ive been overthinking with all these what if thoughts. Ill just be sitting down at home and start thinking all these negative thoughts and it takes awhile to snap out of. I get nervous to drive because while Im driving all these thoughts are going through my mind and then I fear of losing control and something happening to me. Im so sick of feeling this way and feel like Im stuck and it will not get better. Anyone have any tips to help get through this?

I completely relate to what you have said, thank you for sharing! I especially relate to the thoughts occuring when you're driving, this happens to me a lot. I found the hardest part was becoming aware that I was spiralling into these thoughts. I have taken to actually saying 'Shut up!' out loud when I become aware that I am having these thoughts. It's easy in the car when no one is there, and it makes me smile thinking about how odd I must look saying shut up to myself! It does seem to work, it breaks the cycle and realeses some of my tension. I find I am then able to focus my thinking on what I'm doing right now, or more positive things

@Xosc23xo You're not alone. Fear of losing control is totally understandable, a good way to get through these feelings and any feelings is by just breathing, and remembering that with every negative comes a positive.

I'll try to breathe as much because today, my boyfriend will decide if breaks up with me or not , and I'm scared because today is his graduation, so we get to talk today about what is going to happen between us, since I got so much anxiety earlier about what is going to happen, I SIB. Hopefully he doesn't see it, since i did it on my thighs. I dont know if i could survive today:(
