Current Path Not Sustainable
Hi Everyone ... try and be concise and cohesive as possible ... I have suffered from depression, anxiety, and for most of my adult life. However, the past few years the severity of these things has really escalated. I moved from SC to OH for a new job, starting up a new cannabis cultivation/processing center. Unfortunately this turned into a pretty toxic environment. Furthermore, the move occurred during Covid and my limited support network just ceased to exist between a move and lockdowns. Despite stellar reviews, my position is set to be eliminated in 2023. In some ways I am glad as I was feeling very trapped between declining mental health and financial obligations.
My current state of being is not sustainable. These days I wake up between 2 am to 4 am. Within a minute of waking, my heart starts racing, I am sweating, nauseous etc. Being active and talking helps some during these times ... but at 2 am there my options are limited and I just lay on the couch or head in to work. I have zero interest in outside of activities. I don't know if I am more scared of being unemployed ... or actually getting a new job and having to be functional w/my current state of mind.
I would love to hear of peoples experiences and their journey ... because I am struggling.
@affectionateBeach499 It sounds like symptoms of anxiety and panic attack dear. It means you're probably overwhelmed by something in your life that's causing you distress. Please don't hesitate to chat with a listener if you are deeling overwhelmed. Also I'm glad the exercises in the growth path helped you.
