I am feeling real down and out today, how do I pick myself up?


Question:
I am suffering from anxiety and am thinking today that I will never get better and get on with my life. I am so scared to do anything, I feel like my whole life is a waste of time and I am burdening everyone around me. I don't feel like this all the time but today is one of those days...

Answers:
Yea today basically sucked for me as well. But I just try to find ways of not thinking about the garbage by doing something fun such as listen to a favorite cd, usually a Ska band cuz they're impossible listen to without dancing haha.

My suggestion to you is to stop worrying about whatever it is for the moment and do something you enjoy that's fun. Watch a movie, a comedy perhaps, or listen to a favorite cd or play some video games or read a book. Anything that will take your mind off what is bothering you. It's not bad to worry about things but it's not good to worry for an extended period of time so get away from it mentally and get preoccupied with something else thats fun.
same here. just keep going..

i dont think my life is a waste.

It's just that today i found something out devastating, and i hope its not true.
Try a counselor, it could really help to just talk with someone who is objective and neutral. They may also be able to provide anti-anxiety or anti-depression meds.
Also, for some, exercise releases endorphans which can give you a boost.
Good luck, and don't worry. Everyone feels that way from time to time, the goal is to find something that makes you happy and live life:)
I don't know one persons who's life is a waste of time. I feel the same way for the past week, anxious, short of breath. Just know that things can always be worse and be grateful that they aren't. There is always someone, somewhere who is worse off than you are. So pray for that person, and hopefully it will take your mind off of yourself. Then get to the doctor for some anti-anxiety medication
Don't worry to much about yourself try to think of things to do that make you happy even though you are scared to do anything. Also try to meditate on some relaxation music like classical or chillout music. Or you can try to be a little artistic and try to draw in a sketch book if you have one this are the things that usually relax me so I hope this helps.
something that always helps me is finding inspirational poetry or quotes that have something 2 do with my situation so how about trying that 2 give u that little push 2 keep u going!!

and there's only a little while left in the day just keep your head up!
I deal with anxiety, and I understand exactly what you're feeling. I am on Zoloft, and it does help, but it doesn't cure it. I often find that getting rid of or learning to control stresses help it quite a bit. I often pray and read my Bible, but I'm not sure if you are a religious person. Relax, listen to some music, go for a walk, watch some television or movies. It's tough to get rid of at times, but when we can't defeat it, we can at least keep it at bay. Different things often work for different people, and I'm still looking for ways to help me out.

(If you are a Christian, I recommend reading Ephesians 6:10-20... it's my inspiration and strength when I'm struggling with it... so much, that I got a tattoo of it to remind me. It tells us guidelines to fight, "and having done all, to stand")
Your life is not a waste. For it is said in Matt 17:20-21
"And He said to them, "Because of the littleness of your faith; for truly I say to you, if you have faith as a mustard seed, you shall say to this mountain, 'Move from here to there,' and it shall move; and nothing shall be impossible to you. ["But this kind does not go out except by prayer and fasting."] "

Gen 26:24 "...do not fear, for I am with you."

Rev 17:17, "For God has put it into their hearts to fulfill His purpose, to be of one mind, and to give their kingdom to the beast, until the words of God are fulfilled."

You were not brought here for mistake. God has big plans for you. You can do great things with God. God loves you! God is with you always. It may seem like He's not with you, but He's there watching after you. So why be worried when God is there? Go before Him in prayer and ask with faith for comfort. He always answers. Don't feel discourage. I'll pray for you if you don't mined. Many Blessings!
