Ive been up since 4am trying to calm myself down / self care / mindfulness / acceptance - nothing is working. Ive tried 2 helplines and cant get through.
I cant even drink and I feel like im going to throw up. I have PNDA [post natal depression and anxiety] plus a lot of big changes in my personal life. I am pursuing professional help. Okay just writing this all out has helped a bit. Any support out there?
That’s great.... yes try it and keep practicing.... find a meditation app on your phone and do that aswell one that is guided and teaches you that when your attention wonders away from the breath you bring it back to your breath... this exercises your attention.... it’s great it just takes practice... also things like when you are driving what can you notice eg... shadows on the road.... this is exercise for your attention...
also you can learn to be a bystander of your thoughts, you can learn to do this via meditation aswell.. you learn not to get so caught up in your thoughts... and can incorporate everything I have told you in your everyday life 😀 you will get through it.... stay positive 😀
