Hello I'm new an scared

I'm really struggling with my abi and cots
I'm isolating and so lonely. I'm currently surviving
My worst episode ever. I can't stop
The negative thoughts that fill my soul.
I hate being negative but my brain is
Malfunction ATM and I have no support network ATM
I feel like a burden to my family and I can't stop
Feeling so worthless.
I need some kindness and reassurance.
I'm a fighter and I feel like I m shattering
Into nothing. Sorry if I'm overwhelming you
With my grief. I'm just so lost and afraid.

Hi I just Love your name. I also Love the movie Idiot Box, one character was a poet and his friend always said, "Give us a poem, Mic"- so I say "Give us a poem WWW".

Hey WobblyWombatWarrior, welcome. I like your username, Wombats are gorgeous animals.

I'm not sure what you mean by abi and cots.

However, I just wanted to pop in and say I'm sorry you're struggling. You're not a burden to anyone, and you're not overwhelming us, we're all here for you.

I know how you feel, I'm very isolated and lonely myself and I also deal with grief on a daily basis, from people and animals.

Like you, I'm also very negative. I think that's common for those with mental illnesses, it's very hard to be positive.

And you're not worthless either. I hope you're safe and these comments here can somehow help you.
