I need an advice.
What do you guys do when you feel like existing is becoming a struggle?
I feel like I am stuck, and I can't get out of my negative thoughts.
They rule over me.
I feel like I don't want to be myself anymore.
I feel like I don't deserve what I have, yet I envy others.
These thoughts in my head keep going on and on about how I am not good enough, how I was so much better before, how weak I've become, and that compared to others, I'm just nothing.
I feel like I am making one bad decision after another.
I fear that I'll stay like this forever.

When existing feels like a struggle, I take a break from life. I do things that make me happy. Though I know that this phase will inevidently come back, I think about life. Life is short. You have to try to move on, even if it weighs you down. Faking it till you make it is my way on how to cope. These are some ways that I cope, so maybe you could try them? I'm sorry if this doesn't help. I suggest talking to a professional would be more beneficial.
ReplyYou won’t be stuck forever. Nothing is forever, living = change.
When I sense those kinda spirals, I take a moment to breathe. Awareness of senses (5 things you can touch, see, smell etc). Awareness of small sensory distractions that can be changed (e.g itchy shirt. Try a different one.). Self care, then gradual awareness of bigger things that can be changed. Then maybe a look at the things that need to change but currently seem impossible, then back to breathing.
It may sound silly, but working your way up and taking control of the little things first can help.
