I am overwhelmed and unable to cope with life's challenges in my adult life. Example. ( Assignments, exams, work, family, savings and future prospects in life. I am scared that I have missed the bus and I have not hope of recovery.
When my mind becomes active first thing in the morning (when I start to wake up in the morning gradually) around 5am or 5.30. I dream about negative things happening to me. I am very fearful and feel that I want to hide in a safe place as I sense danger from me unable to handle or cope with the difficulties in life and its doom and gloom. I have been feeling like this when I get stressed with normal challenges in life as mentioned above - when I think how I am going to handle a difficult situation ( Exams, assignments, work, family, savings and future prospects in life)
I have been on antidepressants and anti anxiety medications which provide temporary relief ( reduce the symptoms to a extent) but not permanently. I also take TMS treatments.
As a child I grew up in a war zone sometimes fearing for my life.
I feel very tired and helpless. I was told that I needed to build resilience and coping skills but how?
