This is my first post. I am posting because lately I have been feeling worthless, ugly and really lost. I am lonely and don’t like who I am. Does anyone else have moments like that? I just can’t seem to shake this anxiety. Thanks for listening.

Hi BillieJean, welcome.

You're not worthless and ugly (I know I don't know what you look like but you're not, I mean that in a friendly way).

I'm sorry you're feeling this way and having lots of anxiety.

We're here for you

Hi Billie Jean!

Welcome to the forums 😊just as Sophie has said, this community is so welcoming, kind, and supportive, I think here we all have struggled with mental health, so we all have experience here and shared misfortunes unfortunately..

I know those feelings all too well, as I suffer from severe depression and anxiety, feeling worthless, ugly, and completely lost in life are a daily experience of me unfortunately...though feeling ugly is probably the least of my worries of the 3,
but it is still there,
but yes, feeling worthless, every single day, feeling lost, every single day, not liking who I am...almost everyday...it's really hard.....

Do you have any issues going on in your life at the moment which have triggered these feelings for you?

For me it was being in a really bad working environment, and not liking working environments since then too , and having no clue what I want to do as a career anymore really...

If you think this is your early stages, or regardless actually, try to see a counsellor as well as being on here..it helps a lot 😊

Hope this helps 😊
