I known I overthink things most likely do to my anxiety. The question is does anyone else overthink about their mental illnesses? What I mean by this is I think things like this is so severe for me. Like really severe than what others may experience. Example years ago I think I was dealing severe anxiety, really thinking it was so severe that I asked my dad to take me to a mental hospital only to be told that it wasnt that severe and of course nothing was done about it. It always got worse during a mental break or very severe stess and anxiety. It is now worse than it has ever been, keeping me severely anxious and depressed. To where I have no way of getting better. I certainly hope someone thinks like this so I am not alone about this.

Well are you seeing a Pdoc for treatment ? There are meds that can help.
Seeing a Therapist can really help you sort out your feelings and try to get to the root of the problem and learn coping skills that can help you manage your life better. __________________ Helping others gets me out of my own head ~ |

1 diagnosing (finding out there is a problem) 2 focusing on the problems 3 moving on past the problems to where the problems no longer take up and cause problems in my life. my suggestion is talk with your treatment providers, they will explain what the process for you is and how/ whether you will be able to get to the point where you no longer focus on your mental problems |

Hi @WantPeaceofMind.
I fully hear what you're asking and just wanted to say, yes. In regards to my own issues, (which are very similar to yours actually) I am constantly thinking in the ways you described. I am always worried I won't improve. I've gotten worse many times before [yay!] then climbed out of that dark hole, but only back up to the level of still being unwell... Life is one big head game really, WantPeaceofMind, a puzzle, and spiritual things, nature & solitude, are my only sanctuaries now. Wishing you some inner peace today. |
