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.

Not too hard or too scary. Just don't like to ask for help. I have also been through systems and they let you down.

I understand. Your parents have not helped you, professionals have not helped, systems have not helped. What kind of systems are these, like protection services?? Are you under 18 Truetomyself?

No I am not under 18. I am older and struggling.

I see.... What are the systems you talk about and how did they let you down? (I’m not judging you at all, I just want to get a better sense of your life)

I am tired of fighting. I need help from someone. My anxiety is so high.

Sophie is right, you’re not alone, although I’m sure you must feel that way. I am here for you. You said you don’t like to ask for help, but you have asked here, which i think is an important step. We would love to help you. What kind of help can we give you ttm. Do you have any ideas? Would you like me to generate ideas?

Why doesn't anyone listen? I talk to my doctor. I try and tell family. No one is listening to me. I feel my body getting weak and tired. I have no energy. I am struggling.
