I can totally relate lovely unfortunately. Unfortunately nothing has ever really helped me, I've had counselling, CBT (have you tried CBT?) , yoga and meditation, have you been on many meds?

Have you tried writing it down? In a diary/somewhere private. I felt this helped me. Then a few people suggested I start blogging as it may help me and others. After much thought, I did and it has worked a treat. Big hugs

NLP (Neuro Linguistic Programming) is very good, especially when combined with Hypnosis and Timeline therapy(tm), I tried it and trained in it after amazing results, then got ill with major memory problems , caused by CFS/ME newly provisionally diagnosed after 6 years, once it is confirmed I will be trying it again, not sure I will ever be able to work in the field again, but that's just because It has been so long since I was able to actually work. There are some really good practitioners out there, the Irony is I Trained most of them.
Hope this helps

They have stress control courses in some parts of the UK. I don't know if they have them were you are. You go for 6 weeks and they give you the tools you need to work through things. They also give you a relaxation CD.
Exercise helps too. I went to yoga for the first time last week and it did help lift my mood for a day. Writing things down always helps. Counselling takes some of the burden off as well (speaking from personal experience).
As well: Drawing, painting, learning an instrument or taking up a new hobby like dance or something can help sometimes as well. Being able to express yourself through something like this just makes life better.
I don't know if any of this helps (Hope it does).

A hobby and keeping busy, or just finding things to do that need attending too is a great help. My hubby has got severe Bipolar and many other illnesses. When he is on a high he makes work( that he is able to do) for himself just to keep his mind off himself and, it works for him until he goes into a down mode. Keeping busy is the answer. Hubby has had a bad manic couple of weeks, this week he has been sort of ok and has made a shelf and put it in my kitchen for me.
Best Wishes to everyone

Living with anxiety and other mental illnesses
Suicidal thoughts, not coping, how to get treatment without carrying out my plans?

I take each day as it comes, try to have a focus for that day. Today is pretty good, but it gives me a nudge every now and again. H
