How do i get my life back in order and stop feeling Overwhelmed?

Question

Overwhelmed and i dunno what to do anymore?

my life is falling apart around me. i dunno who i am anymore. dealing with repressed memories, a death in the family, an emotionally abusive bf that doesn't know that hes doing it, home sickness, financial problems galore, and school stuff piling up. I'm cracking. help please. i cant stop crying.

Answer 1

OK the most important thing you are doing right now is school since that will determine the rest of your life. Try to not look back at repressed memories or deaths. Detach from the bf( just be unavailable) Start by getting enough good sleep which can happen after some great exercise. Eat nutritionally balanced diet. Take 3 great deep breaths when you begin to crack or leave the area for a while , taking a walk or listen to music.

You will be fine if you take one day at a time and clear your mind and life of toxic persons and memories. Look forward only and study hard. Best wishes

been there, done that. Get rid of the BF 1st and foremost. If he can't help to uplift you,especially in your time of need, don't waste anymore time! Trust me! If he's not there for you now, he'll never be there... he's probably part of your financial problems too huh?! Knock things down, one at a time, but before you do that... think of something that you do that relaxes you and makes you feel carefree. Like for me, diving into a pool and swimming does it for me.(grew up at a pool, reminds me of carefree days). Take a minute to figure out what's most important to you TODAY! Oh and school waits for no one, and neither does those gov't loans, so lace up dem bootstraps ...Time heals everything, but faith with no work is dead! You'll be stronger in the end..

Awww, there there. You know what you need? You need to get away from all of this stuff that's making you feel overwhelmed. I cannot say that I have gone through what you have but I lost a close friend and I never thought that I'd get back on my feet. That very same day when he died, my grandpa found out that he had cancer. I suggest going to some kind of therapist, one who can possibly prescribe something such as an antidepressant for a little while. If you don't want to go see the doc, then like I said before, take a little vacation. Lavish yourself at a spa and enjoy being alive.

Most everyone goes crazy sometime in their life. You will get through this in time. Allow yourself a few minutes a day for things like meditation, yoga or journaling your thoughts. It really does help to get it out, as you may have noticed after writing this Q.

Try doing something new, repitition breeds boredom breeds depression. Go for a jog in the opposite direction as usual or drive through side streets you've never seen before.

Diet is paramount to a healthy living. I'm not saying diet as in starve yourself, but choose what foods you take in carefully. Try and consume more fruits and veggies. B-vitamins help me sooooo much with stress. I suggest a good B-50 complex.

Get rid of the boyfriend. You have already identified that he is abusive. Why allow him to bring you further down? Their are billions of guys out their, get yourself in check first, then find a nice supportive guy.

Most americans have financial problems of some sort. I'm not sure as to what extent yours is, but I do know that two wrongs don't make a right. That is, being depressed does nothing for you getting out of debt. Realize and own up to the reality, but know that you are not a number, you are the ability to change that number at anytime.

Crying is okay if you feel relief after it. It can be quite an releasing and insightful skill when used properly, just don't dwell.

If you really can't stop being depressed and cry for what seems to be no good reason, you probably have low neurotransmitter levels. This occurs when you have inadequate nutrient intake to synthesize enough. If this is the case I suggest you look into orthomolecular medicine. This has helped me tremendously.

Good luck

Change is the only constant in the universe. Be a part of that and know you are doing your best, that is all!!

Answer 5

Tell your boyfriend that he's making you feel bad. If he continues, break it off. There is no need to stay with someone who purposely brings you down.

Talk to someone about the death in your family, close friends, etc.

Always remember, God will not give you more than you can handle.

Good luck and remember............stay strong.
