The world is against me

1. This too shall pass.
Everything has an ending – including the bad times and the dark phases. Always remember that it’s really not your entire world that is sinking, it’s just a
point
in your life.


2. You have more control than you think.
You can always find a way to get out of the rut you’re in if you truly take the time to control the way you react to things or ask people to help you out. There is always a way.


3. You never know what tomorrow may bring.
Miracles happen every day and tomorrow is a new day for something better planned for you. Something that may not have crossed your mind.


4. Some things are going well for you.
Like your health, your friends, or a roof over your head. Remember all the important things we take for granted that we truly can’t live without.


5. You will come out stronger.
You’ve been there before, you had situations you never thought you will come out of, but you did. We’re always tested so we can learn how to stand on our own two feet.


6. Something good will come out of this.
After the hurricane comes the rainbow. You will either learn an important lesson or you will grow as a person. Look for the silver lining.


7. Ever


We all have days or periods in our life when the going gets a bit tough. One problem arises after another, leaving you feeling like the world is against you. You try to stay on top of things but it feels like the harder you try, the worse things go, and the problems just keep on piling up. You start to worry more and more, so much so that you start to struggle to sleep.

Now, you're not only dealing with a pile of problems but also exhaustion from sleep deprivation. This doesn't help you feel any calmer and your good old symptoms of anxiety start to creep in, bit by bit. Then you start to worry about your growing anxiety leading to panic attacks, so much so that you almost fabricate one.

It's not easy when you get into a spiral like this, and it most certainly doesn't help you feel like the world is on your side. But it is. And in order for you to believe that again, you need to take it one tiny step at a time to get back in control of your thoughts and emotions. Here are 7 simple strategies to help you do exactly that.



Breathe.
When you feel anxious or stressed, the first thing that gets affected is your breath. It gets tense and s


Life will sometimes deal out a difficult hand for you to play. And it’s normal to sometimes think, “the world is against me,” when it seems like nothing is going right.

After all, it certainly doesn’t seem like all of these other people are having the same problems that I’m having!

Well, here’s the thing. “The world is against me” isn’t necessarily an accurate representation of what a person is trying to communicate. Instead, it’s an expression of frustration, anger, sadness, and the negative feelings of being dealt a difficult hand to play.

Many people feel alone when they are faced with these difficult, painful situations. Maybe it’s a relationship ending, a diagnosis of serious illness, losing a job, or anything powerful enough to cause dramatic disruption in your life. It’s easy to feel isolated in a world full of people.

The good news is you’re not alone. Others have navigated similar struggles, not to take anything away from yours. Instead, it’s so you know that there are tools and strategies that you can use to break this mindset and push forward through your adversity.

Why is the world against me?


When every single day feels like a fight or an uphill battle, it can feel like the world is against you. It’s like no matter how hard you try or how much you show up, it feels like nothing is going to change or get better. And because it feels like you are working against the rest of the world, you might start beating yourself up too.

While it may feel like the odds are stacked against you, know there is a way out and through what you are feeling. Life can be unfair, but there are things you can do and people you can lean on when it feels like the world is hurting you.

Reflect on why you feel this way

Whether it’s from your life experiences, your self-talk, or society overall, believing that the world is against you stems from somewhere. Reflecting on why you feel this way can help you move toward finding calm, peace, and connection.
