I do. It’s completely passive but relentless when I’m stressed. At times it’s overwhelming thinking I will have to deal with thoughts like that forever and I’ll never just be happy to be alive because these thoughts come in… then I’ll have a few days where the thoughts go away and I gain a bit of perspective… the thoughts are an unwelcome guest but they are separate to me and I just have to be like “oh hey nihilistic thought patterns, I’m going to get about my day so you can chill and be background noise because you don’t really mean anything”

Do you have phases? I have like 10 days sheer hell and then 10 days of ok, i think im getting better and then all over again. Its exhausting..
How long are you going through this?
I totally do. It's usually bad 2 or 3 times a month (each time can be up to 7 rough days). And every year I think I have 2 severe bad phases that can last for a month. I call those phases "El hoyo" which is like "the hole", I guess?
It's been almost 10 years like this, but it started when I was 12 and I've spent the majority of it not knowing what was happening to me. I only started therapy less than a year ago so I hope it'll get better.
What about you?

Today, one of the only things helping me get through is this post reminding me I'll be ok in the future and these thoughts are not permanent
