Everything is overwhelming

Yesterday 17 Comments

It's beginning to get real hard for me to find positives in my life right now. I've been diagnosed with depression, anxiety and ADHD and been dealing with it for a few years with therapy and with meds. I seem to be in a better place in terms of overall functioning, not lying in bed all day, not breaking down etc. But at best, I feel numb. I feel like I have too many problems, a troubled marriage for which we're in counseling, I feel like I made a huge mistake by getting married, regret past decisions in relationships, I don't do a good job socializing with my friends because it's mentally very taxing, I'm financially not too strong, pressurized by hearing co-workers and friends talking about investments buying homes, I've lost interest in hobbies, worried about aging parents, I hardly exercise and it's negative effects are starting to show in my annual health check ups. The only thing I have going on for me now is that I leveled up at work and took up a new role, but that is also starting to feel very overwhelming. I feel like I'm just watching my life deteriorate and I literally feel a weight in me that prevents me from trying to make a change. I know it's the depression and I'm working on it, but I don't see hope. I just live each day like a zombie and put up a smile so that no one can know what's going on. I feel like I just need someone to genuinely support me through this. I don't know. I just wanted to vent.

And before some smart ass asks,

    Take a week of vacation without family and decide your priorities. Get rid of social media. Limit the information that you intake via media. Try to meditate. If you need help then feel free to DM me. Just remember there is more to life and worth living it passionately.

    Sounds like you’re taking steps to be happier. Even if slowly, keep doing what you’re doing. You’ll figure it out.

    Take one day at a time and try to commit to working out at least a little bit each time. Working out and getting those endorphins will develop a keystone habit that will change a lot for you.

    I find that in these times it helps me to try to focus on small things that I can control. I cannot control my spouse or coworkers but I CAN control my feet getting into sneakers and taking a 30 minute walk once a day. You don’t have to start a massive exercise regimen, just make one or two small changes at first. Drink an extra bottle of water and take a 30 minute walk once a day. Build some momentum for positive change little by little. Small successes and changes give you little wins and those can really alter your mood and outlook. You can’t solve everything all at once; choose your physical health and work on that, your mental health is almost guaranteed to improve along with it.
