Its a horrible feeling , feeling like the walls are closing in around me and everything i know will be coming to an end, it doesn’t feel like a delusion, it feels very real to me

Sometimes when one panics it can be helpful to just breathe deeply several times
I know that’s a short term, superficial solution but it actually works

The cryptic nature of your posts lends me to believe that you are, once again, trying to broach a topic that you think might be closed if you were to discuss it in detail.
My suspicion is it has to do with current events.

Your engrossing yourself in too much world problems man. You gotta take a big step back and make time for yourself.
Be selfish. Take care of yourself. Its ok to do that.

Its a skill. An old forum member here once told me “depression is about the past and anxiety is about the future”
So practice just living one day at a time.

Nah, people have always thought the world is gonna end for like thousands of years and it never did.
I agree with @LevelJ1, you can’t beat yourself up over all these shitty events going on in the world.
There’s always been war in the Middle East. As a veteran who has had friends deployed there, it’s just a very unstable part of the world.
Listen to the wise Sir Level and just look out for number 1 for a little while.

Thanks, I try but i feel like a pawn in a big stupid game of risk or something
My life isn’t that valuable.
Huh?
Everyone’s life is valuable.
I have a friend who is a cop once tell me that even the shittiest person on Earth deserves to live.

War between countries has been here since ages. We can’t do anything about it, thinking about it will only make you miserable.
Yes, but this is not the place to have a discussion about it. I can’t go too deep into this without making my positive symptoms worse.
Yeah it’s terrible but imo the best thing you can do is distract yourself from the news I made a thread for healthy coping strategies more or less because of the way everyone is worried about stuff they can’t control anyway maybe someone will help you find a way to help cope

its hard not to focus on current events, esp when they are so bad.
sorry, I am trying but was kinda semi delusional, mild delusion, i got caught up in it, I’m trying to switch off from it.
