    Feeling very confused, anxious, out of sorts today. I have no concentration and can't think straight (pun intended at least partially). Just need some support.

    Sorry to hear that you are having a rough day. Anxiety is no fun. Here to listen, if you want to vent.

    Hi @bsg75apollo -
    I’m sorry your having a rough day. I’m glad to see your sense of humor is present - I got a good laugh from your “thinking straight” pun. When you’re feeling like this, do you have any things you normally do to deal with it?

    I’m sending you good vibes.

    Thanks both of you. It has been two days of basically self-torture by overthinking and over analyzing my life. So vicious circular thinking. My train of thought has been a runaway train.

    One thing that helps me, when overthinking and being anxious is that I go for a walk or open a window. I take deep breaths and that helps to make mind clearer too. Also just talking or writing things down helps as well. We are here for you.

    Hey, @bsg75apollo. Sorry to hear you've been having a rough go lately. I know how frustrating and exhausting it can be, getting stuck in those vicious cycles of over-analyzing and agonizing over things. Anxiety and depression have a nasty tendency of working hand-in-hand.

    If you need to talk, we're happy to listen. :slight_smile:

    Well, that'd be an idea, but with over a foot of snow on the ground and it being only 16F at the moment, I'll have to come up with an alternative.

    That's true. Then just opening a window or a door to outside helps. You don't need to keep it open for long, just make sure you don't catch a cold. Helps to clear the air inside too.
