Tired

[Truetomyself]

At the moment I feel really tired and exhausted from my anxiety that is now impacting my depression.
I am also tired of having to hide it. Especially with work.
I can't afford to loose my job but I can't say what's really going on.
I am scared and unsure of what to do. I have lost jobs because of my mental health being so up and down.
I have no one to talk about it to.

Hi TTM,

being human and having dealt with a lot of pain in life, nothing is abnormal... Your psyche is trying to cope with change and hurt and isolation... You cry if you need to... We all cry sometimes, if we are honest with ourselves.

How long have you been at the new place now? How are you?

thinking of you 🤗

I find it hard with my anxiety and agrophobia to leave or even get in the car to work. I have to go back to work and get highly anxious. I am not sure how to deal with it anymore. But I know I need help.

Hi Truetomyself,

Lovely to hear from you……. Sorry your anxiety and agrophbia is difficult for you….

Are you still seeing your social worker?

Has anyone recommend a clinical psychologist for you? I’m sure they could help you with many strategies…

No I haven't seen a clinical psychologist. I can't afford it. I am struggling. I really am. It's so hard.

Hi Truetomyself,

Im sorry to hear you are struggling it must be so difficult for you…..

Please make an appointment with your gp you can do a mental health plan together this will enable you to see a psychologist… the first 10 sessions are usually free please make an appointment…… also let the gp know how you are feeling…….. ask if you can be referred to a clinical psychologist after doing your mental health plan….

Please know your not alone and we are all here as a community to support you…..

Are you around other people that you can talk to?

im here to chat to you

Thank you Petal. I don't have any friends and because I don't work I have no colleagues I can talk to. I am really frightened, I am worried and get anxious about leaving the house. There is no one, not even in my family, that understands. It's really hard. When you can't see something, no one believes you.

Hi Truetomyself,

Thats ok 😊

Do you think you could manage to visit your gp? Or even have a gp appointment over the phone?

It must be really difficult for you I understand it would be hard……

I believe you and I understand how it feels to be suffering with a mental health condition….. when I was in the grips of OCD I was very scared…….. I was highly anxious my anxiety would tell me not to go outside the house but I thought to Myself I’m not going to let this beat me…. I decided to face it head on…….. it did take a lot of perseverance and courage to defy my anxiety but I did it and I believe it’s in you too …… your so much stronger than you think……..❤️

You could start small if you want to step out side for 5 minutes then set a new goal for longer periods of time…

I think people who haven’t experienced mental health conditions can’t really understand what we are going through unless they have been through it themselves we can only hope that they try to understand……..

Im always here, your not alone

They are taking me off medication. I am struggling with my anxiety. I am struggling with my agrophobia. I wish I didn't have to deal with it on daily basis. I don't feel myself at all.
