I’m tired. I’m anxious. I’m scared and I feel like I’m getting sick. None of those things are related and all of those things are weighing on me.
I don’t know what to do.
I don’t know where to turn.
I just don’t know. I have so many questions and absolutely zero answers.
Hugs

Donβt try to answer them all at once. You wonβt be able to, and that will make it worse. Go to sleep, or do something for your anxiety or whatever the one thing you can do now is. Get that sorted, and then deal with the next one.

Thank You. I’ve been listening to Tom Petty and the Heartbreakers – Learning to Fly for about four hours now… possibly more. It calms me. It’s not exactly a dancing song, but I took your advice and put some music on to try and occupy my thoughts.

Hugs my friend. I find as some others have said that writing everything down helps. The physical act of writing activates different parts of the brain to work on solutions versus just having a rotating band of thoughts swirling around in the abyss of our minds. Hope things are getting better β€

Racing thoughts are the worst. I felt like this yesterday (and today) after knowing I failed my midterms. To make matters worse, had I gone to the exam reviews I would have known 90% of the answers. I tried a different method of studying which was a complete bust. Racing thoughts, a TON of anxiety, and sleepless nights. Head hurts. Wish these feelings would go away. Might need to blog again since itβs the only thing that makes sense in this confusing world. But thereβs no time.
I agree with @stumblingfaith. Blogging or writing or the act of journaling helps to clear the mind. Thinking and ruminating over something uses a different part of the brain.

That’s not possible because your future is dependent as much on things outside of your control as it is on the things that are within your control. Accepting this grants you a level of serenity because you stop trying to change what’s outwith your power, and start to feel what’s really in your power. Similarly, you’ll never understand others and we waste a lot of time trying to. But if you divert that time and energy to understanding yourself, that’s a beautiful journey that has no end because you keep growing and finding new stuff out about yourself. So forget where you’re headed. Where are you now?

Something you might want to consider trying is true meditation. There is this idea that meditation is forcing oneself to quiet their thoughts or it is concentrating on one key mantra. What it really is, is exercising your ability to observe your thoughts and feelings and let them go, recognize the unaddressed subconscious stressors and realize they are not who you are. I noticed you said you are anxious and you are scared. Another way to consider it is to say you are feeling anxiety or fear, but they are not who you are. It’s not about forcing ruminations away with happy thoughts either as if you try to cling to those they grow stale too, however, I recommend watching some comedy and laughing, that and exercise and hydrate. These are also things you are able to exercise self authority over whereas worrying about uncertainties steals your energy and distracts you. Hopefully this helps! These types of realizations take a long time and bravery to accept and utilize.
