What are my anxious thoughts?

Its seems difficult to control over the anxious thoughts... It all depends upon the situations...when circumstances favours you;the mood And thought are OK. But under negative circumstances,its difficult to control over the thoughts.Its become difficult to face the situation.Results.....there is surrender without any fight. Can anyone suggest how to boost ourself & maintain self belief in negative circumstances?

What are my anxious thoughts?

Hi shari,
Thanks for your good words....
My case of depression is as old as 15 yrs.At this age of 32,I have to leave all my job,all my respect 
& everything due to depression.Its find difficult to fight again & again with anxiety 
& depression.The problem is that I now require a long term systematic approach to cure the depression and anxiety as the professional world is full of enemies who hates your progress and tries to up bring hurdles in your path as much as they can.
Offcourse we are weak,thats why we lost everything.Our confidence is like that of a Wall whose bricks are levelled with soil rather than concrete cement.Whenever there is attack on wall it simply FALLS DOWN without offering any resistance.
Can we be able to make our walls as those with cement ever ??????

Hi Vincenza,
I am constanly in touch with panic program CBT; which brings me some relief for a small time when I attempt to make challanges against negative thoughts.I started this program just 20 days back and religiously following the guidelines for my betterment & upgradation.
Some examples of negative thought that are effecting me-
-I am full of negative & a lot of my energy/time is consumed in self treatment.
-I feel I am being humiliated by my friends on several ocassions.I am not able to respond to them at time when I am    humiliated.They simply comes;make fun of me & go away.I lack self respect and self esteem.
-My facial expression clearly indicates I am suffering from depression.My friends and collueges express sympathy in humiliating manner which hurts me and I am not able to respond to them in any manner.
-In office,I am not able to do my work in effective manner.I always remain confused and lack decision making in my professional job.
-I lack concentration and proper thoughts to accomplish my goals in professional life.This is the very reason of my failure in  professional life

There is a series of endless negative which I am trying to challange as per guidelines of the course.

Any advices on this aspect of personality of mine?

Thanks

What are my anxious thoughts?

I am very new to this program of CBT. But it really works as many suggested.There is one thing very clear that there is no instant solution to this pain we are undergoing.What all is required to maintain daily schedule and get adhered on it.Constant reviews and watches are required for self upliftment. Depression tends to bounce back everytimes we try to get out from it.
And there is no harm in expressing gratitude sometimes, as when you get some positive influence in circumstances where every thing seems to be dark,negative & feel of defeat from inside.

Blame the game,not the player

Situation becomes questionable when I feel panic attacks at  workplace.When depression is clearly visible on face and you are left with no explainations. I used to walk around in corridor;try to calm down with long breathing yet no control over anxiety.I become addict of smoke just to get rid of this feeling but it was known very well it does not work.I left with no option but to quit my job.
Shari said right ,for break reduces cycle of depression & stress.But taking small breaks,talking to your friends during the small breaks should be practiced constantly & regularly.There is urgent need of constant challange of your negative thoughts for control of the situations & circumstances.

What are my anxious thoughts?

My past two years in my profession are terrible.The main set back is that I surrender for almost without any fight/resistance to my opponents who are ploting in continous against me.I have now left my job & trying to update my mental health.I am under going the course for almost last 25 days.The problem is that I am not able to find any relevant evidence against my anxious thoughts,alternative thoughts & finally challange statement.
This increases my anxiety many a times.Many a times feeling comes that I will not be able to stand up again in my life.
How do I cope up with that situation.
Any suggestions???

What are my anxious thoughts?

All anti depressent/anti panic therapies will find good going when circumstances are favouring you.The real test for therapies comes into picture when circumstances are getting against you.
I left my job one month back because depression & panic attack (generated by work pressure in office)is not allowing  me to work.I then returned back to my home town for gain of mental health.
I remain almost free during these days;and spending more of my time for thought management,challanging of negative thoughts, yoga,peace of mind,meditation.......
But I have to return one day again to the real world which is termed as "PROFESSION";where lot more challanges are there;tough working conditions;quick decision are required;to face tough pupils.
Will CBT will be long lasting because at certain phase of life our priorities will be the professional work(12~14 hr );more busy with the official work & which is means of earning and CBT will become secondary for us.

Any suggestions?

What are my anxious thoughts?

The biggest hurdle in your path comes when you have lost all your faith from yourselves and starts beliving that you are made for nothing.Situation becomes more worse when you find unable to take any decision about your future.Identifying the root causes of your defeat & taking correct measures to gain something is a big challange.

What are my anxious thoughts?

Davit & Hugs,
Should I believe that its now difficult for me to again reach to a life where I feel proud of my salary & position in society??
Is this a time to realize that my capabilites are limited & I have to learn myself happy in less & limited version?
I fear exposing myself to challanges & work.Does it mean there is now end to my one phase of life & I should try on other carrer options.
I daily read some good quotes whenever I opened this site.Sometimes I think I should give one more try for a good option.
But then I feel a fear of setback.Tough time yet it will also pass & days of happiness will come again-A hope.

After 12 years, the Panic attacks are back

Gabriel Castro,
Almost same has happened to me.Due to panic attacks & feel of worthlessness I left my job 2 months back.I am 32,married & have two kids.At this age leaving job due to panic attack & anxiety is like a big blow on me.But then we have to live our life & more to think on pupils who are dependent on us.Life take exams and when we pass there exist another exam in our way.We have to continue giving exams & exams.There is no option but to PASS the exam.Failures are not accepted in any manner.
So dear,this is a tough time for you.Struggle until you find some concrete.This site will help you to explore & understand yourself in a better manner.I m in regular touch with Shari,Davit,sunny and many others.At this stage when I myself struggling hard can only say that you will definitely get some positive outcome from this program.
