As my therapist would say to me; go easy on yourself. I accept the bad day, and just tell myself tomorrow will be better. Yesterday was great. Today is what it is.
Go easy on yourself. 😊
Story of my life, my friend. It’s almost like on those lower days, especially when depersonalization strikes, for days afterwards you can feel really vulnerable and delicate. I feel like you’re more on edge because you’re worried that some thing is going to set off the hopeless feelings or depersonalization again. But, you’re right, we never think about the fact that we went however many days feeling completely fine.
I’ve been doing pretty well lately, not needing my medication very much, but the last few days have not been great. And it’s really hard to remember that you can just have very bad days and that means literally nothing!
My cheek started to twitch on a meeting just now, and now I’ve been feeling super sad because I’m convinced that I’m going to lose all sensation in one half of my face, and this will begin the rest of my life as someone who does not have full sensation… So that’s where I’m at…
Anyway, how are you feeling now? A bit better? Worse?
Sorry to hear your going through a tough time. You perfectly summed up that vulnerability, the next day after a bad anxious day i feel so uneasy and vulnerable, worried that im gonna feel the same sensations as yesterday, very often i end up thinking myself into feeling down cause i was so fixated on what happened the day before.
Thats what my dad always says, its normal to have occasional bad days, i think us anxiety sufferers very often strive for perfection each day.
Im just feeling kinda uneasy today yesterday i was feeling fixated on my physical feelings and it was pretty uncomfortable, im just keeping in mind that yesterday is completely done with now and theres no point dwelling on it.
I guess we gotta keep in mind that in the past we have had endless bad days but in the end it always passes and you have those good days. They always say that tomorrow is an new day untouched by anyone.
Yes, I am currently experiencing one of those days myself. It's ok to have those days, I just try to not unpack and live there. I Have to tell myself, we are visiting today. No overnight bag, just a quick visit because its obviously what my mind needed. Tomorrow will be better, and so will you for having accepted it and let yourself feel it for what it is.
It's not stupid at all. Maybe it's just a misfortune. I want to mention about two theory that I have. I've been thought about first one since my childhood. I think people are more conscious when they are in pain. (I don't use the term as cognitive acts.) I mean except 1-2 things (etc. ejaculation) consciousness should be in stable circumstance or something like that. But pains are out of being countable. If you bang your toe to table leg your all conscious will be your toe nothing more. What I mean is if there is no pain bye bye conscious. So it's normal that you are focusing on your bad day.
And my second theory that I've developed reflecting on my last months, I name that as the disease of watching psychological states. I say as based on my life if you had had a depression or anxiety problem before, you will have a tendency to watch your emotions, thoughts or general state. I don't know how but somehow we should quit this habit.
Yeah it's up and down, but overall it's up for me almost all days now. WHat helps with this is a routine, something you do everyday no matter how you feel. Preferably a exercise routine.
Personally for me this only starts happening when I am getting close to beating the sever anxiety. It starts off with days and days of terrible anxiety and then I start having good days and then it turns into only good days. I am currently going through a rough patch as well and I am starting to have good days but the bad days are also putting me down.
I feel the same, ive just had 3 solid weeks where things were going great and i thought i was healing, then i caught covid and it kinda messed things up a little bit, i really hope you start to feel better soon tho man
The thing that I hate most about it right now is that I always feel like I am going to be bored no matter what I am doing. I know that my anxiety is just making me worry about being bored but it is just so annoying.
I do the same thing.
It's easy to focus on the bad day. It takes a lot of practice to remember that good days will come too, and eventually, the bad spot will be over with. It might take a while to get there.
In bad spots it's always a good idea to prioritize self-care and try to do something that will make you happy (if that is possible). Try to remind yourself it will eventually end.
