I need help but don’t know what to do.

Self-diagnosing is always an issue that a lot of us run afoul of. I’d say firstly, that you need to speak to people who are close to you who are, what I call “Active Support”. Active support is the person you go to wjo dorsn’t just say “oh that’s not good. Things will get better. You’ll be alright.” That’s what I call “Passive Support”, if you have anyone who you could count on to support you, or call mental health services if you can’t yourself, or ring your GP, i’d ask them. Most of the time we go through life and kind of forget that other people have lives too and other people don’t know how we feel or what’s going on unless we tell them, we just sort of expect people we know to be privvy to infor ation we haven’t told them because “they should already know.” There are many mental health counselling services, or local support groups. You can go to a local Crisis Cafe, they aren’t just for suicidal people, and places like that usually do referrals or give you access to tools so you can self-refer to outside agencies for mental health support. You cannot and should not bottle these feelings up because they are important feelings. Things are going very wrong and your support network doesn’t know that, if you harm yourself in any way, they will feel solely responsible for letting you down and i think sometimes we are unfair when we hurt ourselves and don’t tell anyone what’s going on with us. It makes them feel guilty for not reading the signs, or noticing, and that can be avoided if you reach out. I don’t know how to help your friend who doesn’t want to be your friend anymore because I don’t know the actual reason why they don’t. Generally, people drift apart and ut lose contact not actively say they don’t want to be friends anymore, but if that person is going to add toxicity in your life you don’t need that kind of influence, especially now with your head all over the place. You need a positive and supportive network, people who are patient with you, people you can depend on, people who will try and get you help instead of ignoring it hoping you’ll just perk up one day soon. You know how you’re feeling and they don’t so you have to take the first step and reach out to services who can help you, talk to the people you’re close to and tell them you’re seeking help but that you really need them as well. You can’t make your friend want to be your friend and if they don’t want to be, sadly that’s their choice. Do not internalise your feelings, go to a doctor, or a friend or anyone, because you probably need more help than just venting
