Anxiety all day and not eating

[Catie_Rose]

Hi everyone I’m at the end of my rope. I have suffered anxiety and health anxiety for over 20 years but the last 6 months has been terrible I’ve lost 8kg in 6 weeks and don’t want to eat I’m just at a loss I don’t have panic attacks I just feel rotten all day like vague and yuck it’s so hard to explain I just want to be well

Meditation is great 😊 I did one with my therapy for learning to watch my thoughts…..

meditation has taught me that I’m not my thoughts but the watcher of my thoughts, I can now sit back and observe my thoughts and not get caught up in them….

you could find many meditations on u tube or an app…. Have a google on your phone and see if you can find one that suits you…..

it takes practice and perseverance so stick to it…… I do mine before going to sleep…. I do guided ones….

I believe meditation got me over line….

I also did meta cognitive therapy it was great especially for OCD…. But I think it would help anyone with anxiety…….

it’s mindfulness

attention training

thought challenging

learning to stay in the present moment

It teaches us to be aware

I know it’s difficult and it’s a journey….

but from my mental health journey I had so much personal growth from it…. At the time I didn’t see this but now that I can reflect on it I can see how far I have come….

and you WILL grow too 😊 just hang in there and keep persevering…… you will learn to overcome what you are going through 😊 trust me there is a light at the end of the tunnel…..

while going through my journey I practiced gratefulness…. I still do this every day…..

I read a lot of positive affirmations ( it really helps to renew the mind)

hugging someone close to me helped…

mindfullness ( helped get me out of my own head)

You will get through this try some of the above and meditation……. It all takes practice and perseverance so stick with it…….

do you get to do anything nice for yourself?
