Depression and anxiety

[Hazzy]

Hey I’m 19 year old I live with my mother her husband and little brother who is always in his room , I’m not allowed to see my friends and I feel like every time my mum speaks and complains about her life or what happened in her say I get so frustrated in my head , I hate her talking too much I feel like I’m about to explode . I haven’t been wanting to see anyone lately I’m getting too used to being alone and I feel like I’m falling into a hole . Of anxiety depression and anger . I don’t want to be like this , this isn’t me and I have also been having nausea constantly for years and it’s gone worse due to problems .

Hi Hazzy,

I'm really sorry to hear about what you're going through at the moment. I understand that feeling of falling into anxiety and depression and not quite seeing the way out.

As Sophie_M mentioned above, it can be really helpful to talk directly to someone about what you're going through. You may realise that there is something else contributing to your feelings or you may figure out how to better cope with your relationship with your mum. Something else that may help with the anger and anxiety is meditation. I have found that having time to myself to clear my mind and reflect has really helped me with my anxiety.

Always feel welcome to reach out to forums like this for help and take care.

hey hazzy, welcome. i'm 21 so we're near the same age, haha.

i'm sorry to hear about all of that. if it makes you feel any better, i have no friends either, so i relate to that, and your little brother being in his room all the time.

are you able to talk to your mum or another family member, or even a professional about your feelings? of course you're always welcome here and it's a safe, caring, non judgemental place, we're all here for you, just a friendly suggestion, no pressure.

i hope you're ok and you're safe. thinking of you.
