I think they call it the placebo effect. It's really all in your mind. You think about it and it affects you physically. You think you might get a cold for no reason and you do because you're think negatively. It's all inside your head. I think what you should try to do is think about other things beside getting sick. Maybe you could try to do other stuff and keep yourself entertained or you could keep on telling yourself that you won't get sick. You need some confidence and optimism. So keep on telling yourself that it's all in your mind and that it's going to go away the same way it came. Use it to help you become better. You are not going to get sick for no reason. Think about that all the time. The process might be very slow but eventually you will stop thinking that you're going to get sick all the time. It might take you days or a month but eventually you'll be able to change your perspective.At least you already know that it's all in your head so you'll be able to get rid of it more quickly because you have realized that you're not really going to get sick When you are trying to go to sleep, you could try listening to music that you think is relaxing. Try to clear your mind of everything. Think of a blank space if you have to, and if any thoughts come in, just push them away gently, and keep on concentrating on not thinking about anything until you finally fall asleep. You might not achieve it the first time, but I assure you, it's worth trying. You have a lot on your mind, so you could let it all out in paper and leave it there. Just write it all out and leave it on the paper; don't take it with you. If you want someone to talk to I'm always here willing to help in any way I can. At least I'll listen if that's all you want. :smile: [/quote] FAQ Keyword Search: Post Options Favorites Manager Notify me of new replies to this topic by email Notify me of new replies to this topic by private message Original Post BrikiXD Posted at 8:51 pm on Aug. 2, 2008 I feel so shitty, all the time. If my stomach doesn't hurt, my head hurts. If neither of them hurts, then I feel depressed and helpless. I can't do anything anymore. I'm afraid of something bad happening. Mostly I'm just afraid of getting sick. It's ALWAYS something. "If I go downstairs I'll get sick." "If I ride in the car I'll get sick." "If I go to my friends house I'll get sick." I KNOW it's inside my head. I know how stupid that all sounds. But it bothers me anyways. Alot. And I've heard it all already. If I get sick, why does it matter? I don't know. It just really bothers me. Everyone gets sick, I know that. But I don't want to. Thinking all this is MAKING me sick. I'm just hurting myself. But I can't STOP. If it's not one thing, it's another, and it never ends. Even when I don't feel sick, I csn only think about things that MAKE me feel sick. So I can't sleep, either. Too much on my mind keeping me awake. Then there's the second part, the depression. After all this, I feel so sad, all the time. Every single day. Yes, I AM happy sometimes. Only the longest it's lasted is about half a day. I'm sad BECAUSE of all this. All this wasted time. I've left my house this Summer a number of three, maybe four times. Yes, it's my fault. Thing is, I really can't help it. Everytime I try, it blows up in my face. Do I give up? No. I'm sure not eager to try again though. Schools almost coming up. I don't know how I'm going to get through that. Summer should be a happy time, but I just want to fast forward through every day. I wish I could just speed up time until I'm better, and I can live my life again. I wish there was an easy way out, but there isn't. I'm would NEVER hurt myself. Ever. I'm willing to do what's needed to get better, but I just wish it wouldn't take so long. I'm really tired of being like this. Just breaking down at random times. Sorry. This sounds really dumb. SHORT VERSION: I'm pretty messed up and I just want someone to talk to so I can get my mind off of everything. Sorry it's so long.
