I am not sure but I am probably am, having a little anxiety or depression in adulting situations. I am not suffering but I feel that the world is just here to tackle and punish me for my wrongdoings. I get stubborn when I don’t like to hear the things that was being said to me. I get restless/fatigue at work and not in proper maintenance to do work. I’ve been generating negative energy and harming those people that care and are here for me. I compare a lot to others and leading my mind to spiral downhill. So honestly what should i do?

Hi Crim, thank you for relating to me as well. I don’t think like listening to music might help me a lot as well but I try to not think about it too much i guess.
Dear @meefenbeehoon,
i’m sorry to hear that you’re going through a tough time right now, and it’s really good that you’re reaching out for support. It’s important to remember that feeling anxious or low at times, especially during challenging situations, is completely normal. These feelings don’t necessarily mean you have a disorder. Anxiety and uncomfortable feelings can be a natural response to stress, signalling that something needs your attention or that you’re facing something important.
A good first step is to be kind to yourself and practice self-compassion. Understand that everyone makes mistakes and has bad days. Treat yourself with the same kindness and understanding that you would offer to a friend in your situation. It can also be really helpful to talk to a trusted friend, family member, or counsellor about what you’re experiencing. Sometimes just sharing your thoughts can make a big difference. When we share our thoughts and feelings, we engage our meta-cognitive skills and it helps the emotions to feel a little less intense.
Please also take care of your physical health by getting enough sleep, eating well, and exercising. These can all positively impact your mental health. Practices like meditation, deep breathing exercises, or yoga can help you manage stress and anxiety. Breaking down your tasks into smaller, manageable steps can help you avoid feeling overwhelmed. Try to focus on your own progress and achievements rather than comparing yourself to others, as everyone has their own unique path.
You mentioned feeling like the world is here to tackle and punish you for your wrongdoings. Can you share more about why you feel this way? Understanding the root of these thoughts might help you find better ways to cope with them.
The feelings of stubbornness, restlessness, and fatigue at work can be signs of an inner child response, where past experiences influence your current behaviour. Recognising this can help you address the root cause. Acknowledge and validate your feelings, understanding that they might be stemming from past experiences. When you feel stubborn or restless, remind yourself of your current capabilities and strengths as an adult. Use positive affirmations to counter negative self-talk. Engage in activities that help you manage stress and anxiety, such as journaling, creative hobbies, or spending time with loved ones. These can help you feel more grounded and in control.
If your feelings of anxiety and depression persist, consider reaching out to a mental health professional.They can provide you with strategies and support tailored to your situation.
It’s okay to ask for help, and taking steps to address your feelings is a sign of strength. You don’t have to go through this alone. I hope the above has been helpful and if you’d like more resources or if there is anything else you’d like to share with us, please do. We’re here to listen to you, your feelings are valid and you matter! 
Take care,
Cool Breeze =)
