Hello! I hope you will accept this warm hug from afar.
It can be helpful to recognize the distress and worry that may arise when you find it challenging to concentrate on one thing.
It might be helpful to consider that a behavior pattern may reappear because it has been successful in meeting an inner need that was previously unmet.
It would be beneficial to understand the underlying needs that may be driving your inappropriate behavior patterns through your own behavior. One way to do this could be to keep an emotional diary, where you record your recent emotional feelings and behavior in words. This could help you gain a deeper understanding of your emotional state, explore the needs behind your emotions, and identify ways to respond and meet your needs in a more constructive manner.
It may be helpful to consider that behind any emotion is a hidden unmet expectation or need. This suggests that emotions are neither good nor bad, right nor wrong. It may be beneficial to view emotions as something that needs to be seen, accepted, and responded to. When we can try to get along with our emotions instead of avoiding or rejecting them, it's understandable why we might choose to avoid them because they can feel overwhelming. At this time, you can relieve the intensity of your emotions by taking 3 to 5 deep breaths. This may also help you to better experience and feel your emotions and explore the hidden needs behind them.
My name is Lily, and I'm the little ear of the Q&A Museum. I just wanted to say that the world and I love you.

I hear you, and it sounds like you're going through a really tough time. Maybe starting small, setting just one tiny goal for the day, could help build momentum. Also, finding a therapist to talk to might provide some support and strategies to manage your feelings.
It's heartbreaking to feel this way for so long. I think seeking professional help is crucial. A counselor can offer guidance on coping mechanisms for your anger and restlessness. Remember, it's okay to ask for help.
You're not alone in feeling this way, and it's important to acknowledge that what you're experiencing may be symptoms of depression. Consider reaching out to a mental health professional who can diagnose and offer treatment options tailored to you.
Feeling this overwhelmed suggests that you need a safe space to express yourself. Perhaps joining a support group or engaging with a community that understands can provide relief and reduce those feelings of isolation.
Your feelings are valid, and it's essential to take them seriously. Talking to a doctor about your thoughts of harm and your persistent sadness can lead to getting the right kind of help, whether it's therapy, medication, or both.
