I’ve been having negative thoughts and it’s really affecting me and I don’t understand why because my life isn’t going downhill or anything. I just want to find a way to break out of this negative shell that is surrounding me and be more positive, smile more. I would like to ask how would I somehow heal or distract myself, and get out of this negativity. Like I would just get sad and I don’t particularly understand why.
It sounds like you’re going through something very uncomfortable. That kind of low, heavy feeling that doesn’t seem to have an obvious cause can be especially confusing and frustrating. It makes sense that you want to understand it and find your way through it.
To help me better understand what you’re experiencing, could you share a little more about what these negative thoughts tend to look like for you? For example, are they more like self-critical thoughts, worries about the future, or just a general sense of sadness or emptiness?
It would also help to know how long this has been going on for. Has it been a few days, a few weeks, or longer? This would help me to understand your situation a bit better too.
I’d really encourage you to reach out to National Mindline 1771 if things feel heavy. You can call them at 1771 or WhatsApp them at 6669 1771 . They’re there to listen without judgement and can offer more personalised support.
