I struggle to think positive and be happy
Posted , 6 users are following.
Hi,
So for a while I have been struggling to think postiive and be happy. Beasue everytime I get happy something bad always happens. This makes me really upset cause I just want to be able to live my life stress-free and be happy.
I always give other people good advice, telling them to stay happy and positive. But when it comes to myself i just breakdown and have no idea what to do.
I just want someone to give me good advice and help me.

through counselling I can see where my anxiety and insecurity started
So now I must learn I can be positive about myself I have a long way to go
ask your gp for a referral to a psychiatrist there you can get a referral to see a psychologist where you'll be a le to analyse and then make your way forward
you can do it

I think if my anxiety gets worse then that's the route I will have to take. I wouldn't mind counselling as it's something I would like to pursue in the future. But thank you for your advice

Don't worry about it because you aren't alone. Just think about the positive things. Don't get down because something has gone wrong because negative thoughts lead to negative situations.
Everything happens for a reason, don't take it too personally. When you're down there is only one way to go and that is up
Just take it slowly, a few steps at a time. Plan things you want to do, like a new job or course, or activity and then when you enjoy it you will realise are starting to look up.
If you are wanting some more advice, I run a blog for people with anxiety and depression. Message me for the link if you'd like!

Thank you so much for that advice. It's starting to give me some positive ideas to life and how I should think be more happy.

Just try be positive as hard as it is and do things on impulse. I tend not to plan things as i get too anxious so i tend to just go for it the same day so I have no time to worry and i'm slowly being able to plan things now!
See if it works for you too.

The thing that works for me is planning ahead, like going too music festivals, going somewhere new or whatever interests you (the little things) to keep you positive and too focus on. x

I just worked 6 hours today and I havent worked in months. I feel better physically and was able to work through the anxiety. If I can build on this I think I will recover
