Offtopic, how do you deal with moments of anxiety, Intrusive thoughts, or negativity?

I'm finding myself more and more consumed by negative shit throughout the day. It tends to just send me into a shitty mood until I can just get somewhere private and let the thoughts just fade away themselves. I'm not sure what causes it exactly. Sometimes it's just a random thought that spirals out of control, usually with no real "reason" to it. For example I could just start panicking about the reasons I could get fired. Sometimes it's just because I'm jumping to conclusions and inception-ing my way through more layers of anxiety. Take the earlier example and add what if questions to it? What if I'm terrible at everything, what if I get hurt at the job, what if I get yelled at, what if I panic? Most of the time I get sent into these negativity spirals because the thoughts just won't stop. Those of you that know what I mean or experience the same things...what do you do to stop falling into this pattern of negativity?

  • I am bi polar so sometimes i am really happy for months on end or i get that emotional high. Sometimes i get really depressed. Plus i have ADD but that only affects me when tired. Unfocused or drunk. First thing is to figure out if this is new or old behavior. If it is something that you constantly do with a behavior pattern then figure out how to control it. Once you master that and inject logical reasoning into it. All seems to fall into place. If you are under duress or stress this amplify's those feelings. I have been in situations with the emotions you described with many things going on. Try meditation or clearing your mind. Focus on something you enjoy like a hobby. Take a step back and then inject reason into these thoughts. Trust me when i was in my twenty's i had things going on and it took me years to break those bad habits. just remember the mind is a muscle. So you have to work at it. Once you understand the cause of it and why you do it. Get to the root of the problem i say. Figure it out and change it if you can. If anything take a deep breath. Think of something that you enjoy or some joke. Sometimes when things become heated that moment you switch gears gives you time to switch back to think clearer. I hope this helps you.
