Episode Summary
In today’s episode I share my concerns about how being engulfed by my low mood paralyses me. I don’t seem to be able to shake it which is worrying.
Episode Show Notes
00:04 – In a previous episode I shared how I believed that developing my awareness of my thoughts, feelings and behaviours was perhaps a way out for me.
00:29 – The trouble is, that is easier said than done, especially if I am consumed by self-doubt, inadequacy, not feeling good enough or that I deserve. Low mood inevitably follows.
02:30 – When I am in that state, it is difficult to be rational enough to find the cause. I think my first priority must be to interrupt the current pattern.
03:01 – The trouble is I am wallowing in how I feel. I also don’t think I can change what is going on. That has triggered feelings of anger in me and the need to “punish” myself for being this way.
03:54 – Usually the mood dissipates but this has been going on for longer than normal. When I feel this way I can’t see a way out… and that is worrying.
04:30 – I begin to start asking the question “What’s the point?” again.
05:08 – It is all consuming, paralysing and somewhat worrying.
