Struggling :(

Feel like Im coming up to a total meltdown, trying not to let things get to me but cognitively im struggling with even being verbal with people. Mental health team didnt return my call. Tried talking to a friend she replied 'you should try being me in my life'. Im so sick of paddling flat out just to keep my head above water. NO plans to end this misery so dont want to worry anyone. Feel like such a failure and nothing people are saying is helping at mo may try distraction. All I want to do is cry.

  • I'm very sorry to hear you're feeling like this. I find that when I'm feeling upset and stressed, the more I try to avoid it the worse it gets. Personally I feel better after I let go. As in, I go to a room on my own, in the dark, and I cry, I let it out. I allow myself to be miserable. If of course you think it would be worse than that and you really want to avoid it then I can understand how frustrating it must feel to be reaching out to people and not get the support you're after. So hopefully people here can help.

    Do you know what is causing the potential meltdown? Is it just all too much? Or is there something that we could help you with, talk you through?
