Hi I am Vicki and I have struggled at times with these thoughts and episodes. They can be extremely challenging to handle. You can feel free to messqge me if you just need a listening ear. I may not be here always but try to find someone to talk to. It usually helps, in my experience.

If you can, try to find a therapist or counselor. If not, try to find your own coping skills. One thing that has helped me a lot is taking hot baths, drinking hot tea, and chatting eith friends and family on Facebook messenger. Also getting on pinterest and just looking at some beautiful pictures of nature, crafts and imagining and dreaming about trips I want to take, projects I want to do and art I want to create. Finally, getring my hands busy doing a goal or challenge I set for myself has helped a lot. For example, straigtening up the house a little, writing a few sentences in a notebook journal or even just taking a shower and putting on clothes are an exampe. I felt better after doing these things, even if it was just a little better at times.
