Hi everyone.
A wonderful friend of mine suggested posting here in the hopes that I can find some advice.
My thoughts are running so fast that I'm struggling to start. I'm struggling with everything right now, to the point living is just too overwhelming. I'm failing in my home life and failing in my work life. It feels too impossible to get through it, though I know there must be a way through, I'm just not able too see it.
I'm currently on the waiting list for talk therapy, for the 3rd time, this time to ascertain whether or not the pins and needles in my mouth and side of my face is due to anxiety. I can't talk to a GP anymore, I don't want medication it makes me feel really unwell. I don't want to be sent contact details of Samaritans, or any other groups, again. That's not helpful. I really don't like asking for help, I've been conditioned to believe that's wrong. And I'm falling down a black hole and can't see a way out.
I've lost myself, not that I've ever really understood myself. I'm only eating once a day, a small meal, and I think it's my way of gaining some sense of control.
I don't know what to do anymore.
I apologise for the very long and pointless post.
I feel the same way. Nothing seems to help me/helped me at all! I get mood swings and racing thoughts every waking moment of my life. I have found solace in art, spirituality, music and video games. Are there any hobbies or interests you can throw yourself into? Sending virtual hugs :3
I'm also interested in art and in spirituality. Though when I'm in a low mood it all goes out the window.
At the moment I'm trying to resist a particular coping behaviour, though not sleeping properly isn't helping.
I really appreciate the virtual hugs.
I'm not able to throw myself into hobbies at the moment, I'm having to catch up on work not done. Which is why I'm feeling like a failure.
A lot has gotten out of control and I don't know what to do.
I really hope you're feeling better.
