Tired

Truetomyself
Community Member
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 Truetomyself,
We are sorry to hear that things are still quite difficult for you today. It sounds like you are absolutely exhausted with everything and are struggling to find a lot of good in your life.
 
Is there someone you can call tonight to talk to? Maybe someone you can share your thoughts with and get some of this off your chest.
 
We are reaching out to you privately to see how we can support you further.
 
We also strongly urge that in overwhelming moments you get in touch with our friends at Lifeline (13 11 14) or the Suicide Call Back Service (1300 659 467).

Things will get better Truetomyself, is there a doctor you can see even if it’s just some one to talk to……..

Are you on new medication?

Try to google a meditation on your phone and try to listen to it…..

Please call one of our caring councillors on 1300 22 4636…. It helps to talk to someone my friend….

I feel like I can't be like everyone else. I struggle to hold down a job. Everyone my age has houses, children and have their lives set. I am feeling left behind and not a bright future. I am scared I will not be able to get a job.

Hi Truetomyself,

Truetomyself I highly recommend that you find a therapy you can do for your agrophobia I believe their is one out there for you….. you can learn so many helpful strategies in these therapies and it will help you to move forward in your life…….

You are so much stronger than you know and you have a beautiful fulfilling life ahead of you if you believe it’s obtainable it will be…..

Believe you can get a job and then go out there and get one……. It will be good for you to get a job because it will give you a purpose….😊

What type of job are you interested in doing?

My anxiety is really high. My mum yelled at me and called me a sloth with no faith or hope. I can't do it with her yelling at me.

Hi Truetomyself,

Im sorry that your mum yelled at you that must be difficult.

Im sorry that she called you what she did…..

You do have HOPE and FAITH Truetomyself…… just believe in yourself and feed your mind with your own positive thoughts……

Truetomyself have you thought about what job you would like to apply for?

How do I get better when nobody cares?I have no friends and my parents don't even acknowledge me that or I exist. Or they yell at me. I can't do it alone anymore.

Hi Truetomyself,

Im sorry you are feeling this way I understand it’s difficult….

I care about you and so do other people in this community …. You also care about you….

You can get better… believe in yourself…. Can you speak to a gp about the way you are feeling?

It's hard to believe in yourself when no one cares and you don't care about yourself. I am so tired and worn out. I have no one. I stay in bed some days due to my depression and no one cares. I have no want to be here.
