Rough Day Check In
I feel like every time I have a good day, or even a good couple of days, I crash. Like it just all goes to waste. Every time I feel like I'm doing well...I'm not. Like today!
I did pretty good today. I went to work and got through it just fine. I even stayed an hour longer so I could play music with a couple of my coworkers (we're musicians). We had so much fun and my anxiety didn't get in the way of any of it. It was great! But then, in the car on the way home, I started "disconnecting" worse than I ever have before. I call it disconnecting, my therapist calls it depersonalization. Whichever! Normally, it's pretty quick and I can shake it off. I just sort of feel like I'm not quite connected to my brain or body. But today in the car, my stomach felt like I was on a rollercoaster. I felt like I was completely detaching, like my organs were going to fall out and the seat would fall from under me. It was terrible.
I don't know...I guess I just struggle because I feel like any time I feel like I'm making progress, I just take five steps backwards. It's just really frustrating and makes me feel like I'm never going to make any progress. I don't know. I just feel sucky today.
Symptoms
1... I Dnt think like I used to I Dnt think happy thoughts that makes me happy anymore
2.. I dnt enjoy conversation like I used too
I dnt enjoy music anymore
I feel dumb
I question everything I question how I talk I question even my thoughts
Am scared to think.
Always thinking about my past mistakes
When ever am thinking a voice in my head questions every words I used in thinking
I cant think like I used to do am scared talking am scared listening to music
My mind is trying to make me feel as if things I know before I Dnt know them anymore
It makes me feel as if am going dumb
Trying to change the meaning of things in my head..
Combatting with me with the meaning of things that I know before
14.. if u say something in another language I will understand and interpret it to my self I will not b satisfied with the explanation
15.. the voices makes me doubt words make feel as if I dnt understand the words
The voice is trying to make me dumb
The voice will question my thoughts
The voice is trying to make me misbehave but the effort I put in correcting my self brings a lot of pains it look as if am fighting something that doesnt want me to behave normal
The voice is trying to play with my understanding
It looks as if my believe and understanding are going down the spiral..
The words am saying sound dumb and new to me I hate talking and I hate talking to people because I feel dumb
I put extra ordinary energy understand simple things
Feeling as if am going dumb
It looks as if am not understanding what am thinking
25...I don't understand what I'm saying as I say it.
I have a really hard time communicating because when I speak, I find that the I am detached from the words I say. In other words, I don't understand what I'm saying, even though I am technically speaking. This makes it so difficult to speak more than one sentence, because after one, I'm already lost. Anyone know what this could be?
I dnt understand what I am saying as am saying it I feel dumb to my own words
My thoughts is killing me
For example if someone is talking to me and the person used a word goat for example something in my head will ask me what is d meaning of goat once I explained that goat is an animal something else will ask me what is the meaning of animal once I explain an Animal is a living thing that feed on organic matter something else will ask me what is the meaning or organic matters round round going round circles..
I have all this symptoms what is wrong With me what is d solution

I know how you feel. I feel disconnected at times and its hard to process that Im here and Im doing things. Keep fighting, and dont let it get to you!
So this is how my day started.
I am out of a job because I'm constantly in and out of work because of my issues. My mom sent me a small check for food and I needed to cash the check.
For probably the third time THIS MONTH ALONE the last time I used my car I left my lights on, so my car battery died. Reiterating, for about the third time this month.
In my frustration, I accidentally locked my car keys in my car. And I had locked the house, so I couldn't get back in. Thankfully, my roommate was at a vet appointment for his elderly cat, but I still had to wait outside for probably a good hour and a half in fairly cold temperatures without a sweater (I didn't think to wear one, because it was literally just going to be like a 10 minute trip total).
Some days I just want to give up. I'm so over life right now.

Hey..sorry about your day, I think some days just need to come to an end and the happy part is that they do!
Hope your next hours are full of calm and peace.
Anyone can help? I'm in the middle of a break and we work together. My mind is cleaner when he's not around. Then when he is around I have major anxiety and my body takes on the emotional roller coaster I'm going thru. I know what's best for me. But how do I get thru this part of the cycle ?
