anyone else constantly focused on problems, but can't control it?

[_Minsk]

hi, today was another painful day, i cant help it. in days like those, my mind constantly focuses on negative stuff. i wish i could just flip the switch, but its like going against the current and makes me just more frustrated. do someone here experiences the same thing?

On days like that I get stoned... hmmm, speaking of which.

Those kind of days are the absolute worst.

This is the worst, I can totally relate. I feel like it comes and goes for me throughout the day. Our brains are actually hardwired to focus on the negative stuff because in hunter gatherer times forgetting something negative could actually mean life or death. Now that most of humanity doesn't have to worry about natural predators (aside from other humans of course) it kind of like a cruel evolutionary joke. We are so good at survival all we can do is focus on the negative.

Yeah this happens to me all time. It sucks.

 

[Worthless_nobody]

Yes I experienced the same thing. It's truly terrible.

 

[BPD Barbie]

I experience this frequently, I get stuck going round and round in circles looking for solutions to things that can't be solved. It's frustrating, upsetting and draining. I try and keep myself distracted as much as possible and focus on other things. Sorry you're also feeling this way, sending love

That's normal with depression/anxiety/mental health issues .

 

[TrailerTrash]

Every minute of every day ..... I feel your pain....

 

[voidman]

Yeah it's exhausting as fuck. Depression feeds the negative thinking and it's just a vicious cycle.

I get a major life destroying problem around once a week. I'm not joking. I found the outer limits of what a human nervous system and adrenal glands and fight or flight instinct can take years ago.

My body is a shaking trembling electrical charged bundle of raw wires in a massive tangle.

As far as I remember there was not even a single day in the past 5 years where I didn't focused on the problem that made be suicidal. Even when I'm having a good time this though come and I can't fully enjoy myself. This is hell.
