Also I would wake up in an anxious state and everything seemed so foreign to me, I did not enjoy that! I’m sure I’ve experienced it before but it had been a while so I truly couldn’t grasp it. This is such a scar experience!

Yes! I have a few good months and then when everything falls apart again it’s almost like I’ve totally forgotten how to deal with it. I also get really nauseous and have trouble eating. It’s such an awful cycle and I can’t wait until my life is no longer like this. Therapy has really been helping though. I’ve learned all about cognitive distortions and how to challenge them. Highly recommend googling it.

Just looked it up! Sounds way too familiar! I am actually looking for a therapist in my area as I think it’ll help me out also. How long have you been doing it for?

I was in therapy for a little while last year but I just started back with a new therapist. I’ve only had two sessions so far but it’s been really great. Just know that it’s okay to switch therapists if you don’t feel like you’re getting what you need. My first therapist wasn’t the best but I love my new one so much! Psychology today is the best place to start looking.

I would love to try therapy but I’m afraid that they won’t understand where I’m coming from like in terms of my hormonal issues lol because I have PCOS which I’m sure plays a major role in my anxiety plus the intrusive thoughts I started getting after stopping birth control. But idk maybe it’d be helpful

That’s actually the site I had been using! Put in a request for someone I found! I’m nervous as I only tried therapy once at the very beginning of all of this, I feel like I was not open to therapy then like I just expected it to go away but now after all this time I just want to take control and not allow this to be in control of my life. as the person above me mentioned I also had that fear of just not being understood.

Hi ladies, how are you all coming along? I’m feeling a bit off today, just in terms of me questioning if I’m gonna be like this forever (like constantly having setbacks and what not) or if I’m like gonna develop a worse issue in the future and these thoughts make me spiral. I’m hoping I’ll feel better tomorrow :(

I worry about the same thing as well, like if I will truly feel and enjoy life like I once used too. I wish we could all just erase this from our brains already! -kay

I’ve been feeling pretty off the past couple weeks. It’s not as bad before; I’m still able to make it through my day. I just feel so detached and I can’t stop focusing on that feelings. It’s so uncomfortable. And then I start spiraling thinking that maybe this is the beginning of me losing my mind. Fun stuff.

I can relate, it’s really hard to clear my mind. I overthink everything and on top of that I overthink every single one of those thoughts lol it’s a horrible cycle. It always makes me wonder how I’d be doing had I not taken birth control

I’ve been body slammed by both depression and anxiety today and it’s not a fun combo. Just feeling really hopeless and that feeling scares me a lot. Trying to remind myself that it’s just another day and I’ve made it through much worse.

I am with you all on this! Idk if it’s because I hadn’t had a setback in a while but I feel like I’ve been dealing with this last one pretty badly and on top of that it’s made me pretty irritable. I feel like someone I don’t even recognize. I really hope this doesn’t change me. I had that anxiety/depression episode about a week ago and I was horrible.

Having one of those mornings! Had a tough time falling asleep and once I woke up the first thought I’m my head was about being unhappy with my boyfriend. I’m sick of this I truly am I want this to go away!

Is it just me or is anyone just having major set backs this month? I’ve felt okay for so long but this month I just feel “off”. I’ve been having many ROCD thoughts which has caused my an anxiety to spiral out of control. It’s not a good feeling to not feel any love for your significant other, actually heartbreaking. I personally think that since the thoughts were once there they will always be in the back of my mind. This then makes me think, “will I ever be happy with him?”. I’d like to add that he’s amazing in every way and there are really no reasons that I should be feeling this way.
