Tired

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.

Thank you. I am grateful for you all. It's nice to know there are people who care. It is hard but I am glad I have people like small wolf and others who listen to me.

sorry about the delay in responding.

how was your day today? what did you do?

It is hot where I am so not a lot. Living at home is hard my father doesn't put the air con on. I am tired and have not really slept. How was your day?

I am tired of crying and feeling just down. I am struggling to have a shower and get dressed. I am so frustrated. I could do this a few months ago and my anxiety didn't get in the way. Why was I put here only to suffer. I don't understand any more.

In your reply to sophie_m you said you could do some things a few months ago and not now. What changed between then and now?

And...

can I ask what you do to fill in each day?

(there is a sadness in each post I read. It seems your everyone is doing their utmost to keep you unhappy such as not turning on the aircon.)

I had to move home. I struggle to look after myself and my parents don't understand my struggles with my mental health. I don't have any friends so I stay home in my room. I struggle to get up and get dressed. I feel lost. I don't know how to fill my day. I sleep and lay in bed.

Hi.

Have you looked at the social areas on the forum here? There are a few places where you can meet other users.

Is there anyone who you used to know that you could chat with? When I went for a job a couple of years ago I reached out to someone I knew from 10+ years ago. And I used Facebook!

That you could come here and chat with me indicates you are able to reach out and respond.

What do you think?

I don't know where the social area is. I don't have Facebook to reach out to anyone.

Hey Truetomyself,

We just wanted to point you towards the BB Social Zone which smallwolf kindly recommended.

It's a good place to find some lighter conversation and it has some really great longer running threads like this one, The BB Cafe. We'd recommend taking a quick look at the guidelines for posting in this section, first.

Hope that helps, Truetomyself.

Kind regards,

Sophie M
