Trying to Cope But Just Cant

Are you taking any medication? I find that even a small dose of xanax helps me sometimes. I'm going through a lot of the same things as you. I'm 20, I don't ever go out, I don't have a job due to the fact that everything makes me cry when I get under any level of stress, plus slight social anxiety, and i'm a total health forum sometimes to my husband and I cry about everything. If a take a xanax though I feel normal for a while, at least for a few hours which is better than nothing. Don't feel too bad about the thing w/ your girlfriend...You wouldn't have done it in a normal state of mind i'm sure. I've done some bad things to my husband and then immediatly bawled my eyes out cuz i'm like what the heck did I just do that for... I know it's wrong but at the moment it's uncontrolable. If you don't take meds, maybe try. I know I need to be on a higher dosage of meds and take them more often, but as for now i'm on a small dose occasionally but when I do take them it helps. If you like music, just chill out with your headphones by yourself for a while. That calms me down sometimes, too. Just remember you're not alone, a lot of us are going through these things.

Thanks for your advice.I am not on any sort of medication.In fact till saturday I was in total denial I had a problem but when you throw a chair accross a room to hit someone and have a blazeing row.Something aint right.
I will see what happens

Stress and anxiety can make you feel and act like a total different person. I have dealt with anxiety for a while now and learning to cope with stress quite well. When I was at my worst though I just didn`t feel like myself anymore, I was an emotional wreck, angry one minute then in tears the next. The more you stress about it though the worse it gets, its like a viscious cycle.

Learning relaxation techniques may sound silly but they really do help. This doesn`t need to be meditation, it can just be lying on your bed listening to music giving your body and mind time to process things. It really is a learnt behaviour and it can be changed, your brain kind of learns this new stressful behaviour. Try distracting yourself from any thoughts that are negative.

If things don`t get better you may feel that speaking to someone or taking some form of medication may help. It doesn`t make you weak it just sometimes helps through hard times in our life. Anti- depressants aren`t addictive and can be real mood enhancers. Sometimes its really easy when you have a stressful time and feel unable to cope that depression sets in, it only gets worse if you don`t get help. Ask your doctor it can `t hurt to speak to someone.

Relax and enjoy your weekend, if things stress you out so much its maybe time to reassess things in your life and make positive changes.

I intend to enjoy my weekend but the wayim feeling this week it just aint going to happen lol
