Anyone else sick of catastrophizing?

[Wornout8]

I'm actually sick of myself! it's so wearing and emotionally and physically exhausting.

Yes, me!
It is exhausting-physically and emotionally.
I had 12 weeks of CBT a couple of years ago, it helped slightly ......for a while.
I do a meditation every day on this simple habit app.

Only the free ones, I can’t afford the premium subscription, I also do one when I get myself in a state. It does help.

I read on another thread about the need to develop internal locus of control so that’s something I will try to get my head around, it seems a much less stressful way to exist! I really don’t want to go on like this, it stresses me out and, with the extra stress of Covid, it’s meant colleagues & managers have really started to notice my issues. Sorry you suffer this too have you spoken to a GP / counsellor?

Yes. My anxiety is absolutely off the chart at the moment. It is always quite bad but I am almost at burnout just now. I am struggling with work and worried I will get sacked. DC has autism and is not coping with lockdown so it is meltdown central and no sleep (not that he ever sleeps well). DP is a grumpy git who is never happy with anything I do and expects me to arrange everything for him. Am constantly on edge for what ridiculous thing he will blame me for next. Or thing he will tell me I haven't told him when I have, often more than once. I'm sick of worrying and stressing about everything and I'm bloody exhausted.

Yes!

I have ocd anyway and was doing pretty badly anyway and then the coronavirus stuff kicked off.

I'm housebound almost 3 years anyway and this definitely hasn't helped.

I have tried so many things nothing has worked really.

I called my works EAP today. Wasye of time. Cried through the whole thing and felt worse afterwards. Started worrying about them sharing my details, even though it is meant to be confidential.

💐 following as I do this

I hear you. I know I’m being ridiculous half the time but I can’t help it. I started the online NHS CBT in January but didn’t finish it as I wasn’t getting any feedback. I might try and revisit it.

I’ve just started using Headspace for meditation. I do it first thing to try and give me some time away from the crazy. Not sure it’s working but it’s still early days. They are currently offering a free trial to furloughed and unemployed.

Me. It's so so bloody exhausting and wearing . I'm fed up of thinking the worst all the time. I obsess over stuff constantly and just think and think and it is so annoying. I really wish I could turn that part of my brain off. It's ruining my life
