Something I feel stressed out and I’m not able to go out for a walk, or talk to someone. I rest on the couch checking social media, or reading shit, sometimes smoking or almost crying at times. Any ideas of how to get out of that situation by myself? Thanks!!!

I went through this experience in last June and it lasted for two months (and still but less) … as I am unemployed for 11 months, which put me in a state of stress and anxiety …. until I decided to change this situation… I read a good book … and I realized that everything would come at the right time and that I had to set long-term goals and a daily plan to implement them… I unfollow the people who show off their luxury lifes on instagram, I make a daily to-do list, workout and read books and I pray and stay away from sexual desires.. We have 1440 minutes a day of our lives that we must make good use of .

Im sorry you feel like that, but maybe the next time you feel overwhelmed try taking deap breaths and tell your self that you are strong and can do this. Hope this helps!

Thank you for asking, I go through exactly the same thing when I’m just sitting on my bed mindless watching tv or scrolling IG. The first step was to recognise in doing it and then I found out it’s something called a “freeze response” that we put ourselves in. The best thing that helps me is when I notice I’m doing it, I just get up and do something that makes me feel better like organising my space or fix a healthy snack or play with art. Good luck

Sounds like you could use a new at home hobby! Start by trying Simple at home workouts, maybe do just a few different exercises with some dancing in between. I love to find good nostalgic songs and let my my body do the work! If that’s not your thing, maybe try to break out some paper and find some pencil art inspiration! While of course jamming some upbeat tunes!

Try to minimize screen time, checking social media was basically my biggest disaster. I found out doing things through out the day and posting everything I do in my status kinda felt great because people came asking me how was my day. Its a win win situation because I enjoyed the day and also I get interested people so J can talk about it to them. Eat something you enjoy, sometimes our mood is just messed up that you don’t eat anything and basically you are feeling like that because you ate nothing and them to discover you are just hungry. You mentioned you are laying on a couch, that my friend because you probably didn’t exercise or activate your body. When you finally do so You will automatically feel freaking energetic and you will actually feel like you would want to walk and relieve all the stress. Dont worry about anything man we live omce and its all gonna be okay and what matters is your mental health too, its not worth actually being sad because you didn’t get what you wanted and I discovered this the hard way and I wish I knew before this happened. Good luck man and stay positive

1. Delete social media, its only companies giving a blind eye to your mental health and only caring about profit. Its designed to keep you hooked 2. When you feel stressed out know you’re fighting for the future version of yourself, meditate or do the breath of fire by Wim Hof or any Wim Hof exercise. 3. Journal your thoughts on paper, do it all. Your hand should be hurting from how much you write. Do it all. Discipline yourself too

Hey, don’t be hard on yourself. First, remember you’re a human being, not a robot, and your feelings are valid. They are also trying to tell you something. Listen closely. Second, you want change, you need change, but change won’t come to you. You must find a way to push through and make yourself do something – anything for just a few minutes. That will break your pattern of thinking and feeling low. If you think you might need a help from a professional, you owe it to yourself to seek that help. You are not alone in your struggle. Have hope.

I’d say reading or watching something that doesn’t make your emotional is usually a good way to help you ease out of those moods. I also use hobbies or games where I can use my hands if I have the energy for them.

It may sound stupid but showering it’s one of the most challenging but rewarding things in these cases for me. I really hope you get better at getting out of those cycles!

First Step: Find out what is causing you to feel stressed. Second Step: Search The Cognitive Triangle. Third Step: Try to change your thought process. Do not assume or think in a negative manner. Fourth Step: If this does not work do not hesitate to seek help or ask someone. Use social media in a positive way or stay away from it for a bit. FOCUS ON YOURSELF, YOUR SURROUNDINGS, & NATURE. Try to feel better not worse. And do your best to try staying away from smoking. DO things that HELP you NOT hurt YOU.
