I feel like I can’t talk to anyone

I need to vent somewhere but I don’t have anyone to talk to.

Lately I’ve been feeling so overwhelmed and it’s like I have this weight crushing me down, it’s like I’m drowning and I can never come up for air. I need to talk about it with someone but everyone has they’re own shit and I would rather help my friends with their problems than burden them with mine.

I can’t get out of my own head, there’s so many thoughts, so much pain, and I jut want it all to stop, to go black for a second, but it won’t, the pain keeps going.

I’m not okay, and it took me so long to admit that, I need help but I don’t know how to ask for it.

I feel so overwhelmed and stressed and everything feels like an effort.

Hi, welcome

 

We can help a lot of people but we need more information. This forum is anonymous so it is safe to share your problem and be more open.

 

Community Champions and other members that have life experience can help on so many levels. If your problem should involve professional help then we will recommend it and limit our assistance.

 

So when you feel comfortable I hope you repost here. 

BTW, you are showing courage already and that is a positive in my eyes.

I am the same too. I have driven the counsellor batty here. But I have a journal and I write in it, it helps.

When I get over my anxiety a bit I am going to join my community centre as they have programs for people to get together and just chat. Check out your local council area. I don't drive which is hard.

Your not alone in this, my brain is switched on 24/7 and I try to encourage myself. I have sleeping issues, but have come to terms the palpations I get are stress related, last night I was fine, even counsellors told me stress related but I have issues believing cause I always go to the negative. I am see a phycologist soon. The government has 10 free sessions a year. They recently petitioned for 20 sessions a year I hope it goes through.
