Hi, I am sorry you are feeling this way. I am sure this is tough. Anxiety is the body’s way to tell you that there is fear around something. Depression is the body’s way to tell you that you have lost something and feeling a void. Both need to be felt in a safe space to release the difficult emotions of fear and grief. Once released your nervous system will bounce back into calmer states and you will feel healthier.

The most effective solution for dealing with anxiety for me personally was waking up early. Iam not a morning person but once i tried this, i was surprised how good this made me feel. It helped me find peace and calm myself down. Having so much time in my hand I could do small things that made me happy and I felt a sense of accomplishment just by waking up early. I feel the most anxious during the night- so sleeping early really helped me tackle it to a great extent. Meditation was another thing I tried when my anxiety was at its peak. Trust me- for someone who thinks a lot, it is no joke to shut your mind down and focus on your breathing. I could concentrate for very few minutes in the beginning but my thoughts kept spiraling back. So listening to some meditation music while i meditate helped me increase concentration. It helped me analyse my recurring thoughts and gave me more clarity about them. Mostly during such times I don’t feel like interacting with anyone- thinking that nobody will really understand how i feel. It’s great if you can talk it out and rant everything going on in your mind to someone who cares to listen. Taking it all out really helps. If you’re someone who is not comfortable with addressing this with anyone, then you can try writing down all that is going on in your mind. Once you take it all out in any manner, you will feel relieved. If you feel like you are stuck between your thoughts and feel very helpless, just do SOMETHING. Take a walk, call up your friends and talk about something random, play with your pet - just do something to break that cycle that is going on in your head. Do anything that will distract you even for sometime. Take action without overthinking anything. Just go for it. Being positive and thinking right is almost impossible during such times. One of the main reasons i avoid talking to people during this time is because they may feel bad/ give some positive shit which is not what I want. You know yourself the best- try starting small and appreciating small wins. Having a motivational self-talk session/ looking in the mirror and giving yourself some positivity might help. Appreciate yourself for how far you have come and remind yourself about your strengths. Try to get a balance of the basic things that need to be right- Sleep, food, health and water level. Once you get these things in check it will show better results over time. Having any kind of physical activity or a workout routine will help you fight anxiety. Doing this releases endorphins which trigger a positive feeling in the body. It will also help you reduce stress, improve sleep and help in fighting with anxiety and depression. If all the above things do not help and you are still stuck with being anxious, then there is just one way out. Confrontation. Ask yourself what is troubling you and analyse your thoughts. Address it and not run away from it. You have to feel the anxiety, be curious about it and seek answers and find out what is really going on. There will always be an underlying message or something you’re trying to run away from and are too weak to confront that. No matter how much you run away from it, sooner or later you will have to face it. This is a long process and you need to be strong and have patience to tackle it. Lastly, know that YOU ARE NOT ALONE. This feeling is just temporary. Think of it as your body’s way to communicate something with you. We feel this only when we have lost perspective and when we are lacking inspiration. We have to just find ways to get out of the drama going on in our heads and gain perspective. Anxiety is something most of us go through at different levels. We are just too weak to talk about it. It is a part of being human- you are not alone.

Hi, Loosing loved ones and break up is not easy. It takes time to coming back to normal life. It's all about repressed emotions, lost the energies which made us alive and feeling empty... I totally understand you, and it's normal. But you need to find a solution for that as soon as possible. Our life is not depends on any other person, we need to be happy with ourselves and fulfilling our daily life with the works which we enjoyed... Please consult with a psychologist/therapist to talk about love and your expectations from life. Do take care.

Use this technique ..it will calm you down. Sit in a quiet and comfortable place. Put one of your hands on your chest and the other on your stomach. Your stomach should move more than your chest when you breathe in deeply. Take a slow and regular breath in through your nose. Watch and sense your hands as you breathe in. The hand on your chest should remain still while the hand on your stomach will move slightly. Breathe out through your mouth slowly. Repeat this process at least 10 times or until you begin to feel your anxiety lessen.

Hi... We are living in a world that is uncertain both in terms of personal and professional life. We have a tendency, as human beings and as organisms, to exercise our control over the environment and we experience anxiety when we are unable to do so. Some amount of 'arousal' is necessary for us to sustain our position and perform in a given environment, but it converts into 'anxiety' beyond an optimal level. We need to understand and identify our own 'optimal level of arousal' to be effective in a given environment, and also to live a healthy and meaningful life. 'No arousal' or 'zero anxiety' is not a desirable place, as it may create a state of minimal performance. Breakup in a relationship is again a major set back and our mind has a tendency to think, feel, and act in a cyclic manner. We can get trapped in this loop of negative thoughts, emotions, and behaviours. It is wise to seek professional help when it starts impacting our daily life functioning.
Next Steps
Consult a Psychologist. CBT along with Lifestyle Changes and Interpersonal Relationship Counselling is required.
