STEP 17 – OVERWHELM AND HOPELESSNESS

broken image

Many people not only feel low, but then ruminate or think obsessively about feeling consistently low. This obsessing over low feelings can in turn cause a sense of OVERWHELM AND HOPELESSNESS.

Why? Because the reason they became low in the first place can seem outside of their control. A series of events may have been a contributing factor, but it is often hard to pinpoint the feelings behind the events that caused a shift in their mental state.

People who feel hopeless and worthless believe that no one can help them with their problems. They feel overwhelmed and unable to think clearly through steps that can help them or help resolve the problem that is affecting them.

This can further compound their sense of overwhelm and personal failure. Such people also likely experience a high number of negative thoughts and emotions about themselves—and possibly even suicidal thoughts as well.
