Hello,
I'm new to the forum and will try to explain my situation as best as possible.
Most of my life, I would say up until about 3 years ago, I've been fine in every day life. Had some anxiety from time to time if I was nervous but nothing big. However, lately I find my days becoming harder because of the thoughts that go on in my mind. Sometimes I'll think of a situation prior to it happening and think it will end up in a depressing/negative way. I find myself getting depressed at work because of certain things that bother me (my work is physically demanding and tiring, which can make it worse), which puts me in a tense mood where I feel shitty, which eventually leads me to becoming anxious half of the time. The mood can be very awful sometimes. Most of the day I would say I'm in a pretty average or positive mood, but a descent chunk of my day consists of negative thoughts which occasionally leads to anxiety. Usually this anxiety or depression will come from one negative thought. For example, sometimes I think if I eat poor quality food with a lot of preservatives and overall bad ingredients, I may feel tense, which eventually leads me to the feeling of being tense. Usually the one negative thought is pretty strong and I keep feeding off of that one thought and it puts me in a awful mood, making it hard to socialize and remain calm. Im a fairly outgoing person in general and usually get a long with people really well, except when I'm in these moods. I don't believe it's bi-polar because the main cause of this condition or my negative thoughts, that I start to produce. I heard of something called cognitive behavioral therapy, looks interesting, was wondering if anyone is familiar with it.
Any suggestions?? My days are starting to get tough.
Thank You
