Hello Liam,
I'm really sorry you are feeling so awful, it is a horrible place to be when you don't have the support you need. It has taken me a long time to have the confidence and self-worth to understand that it's exactly the right step to ask for comfort when we're emotionally suffering. Well done for reaching out, many people on the forums know what it feels like to be 'lost at sea' emotionally.
Would you think about calling a helpline - a warm, supportive conversation can be really helpful when we're struggling in the moment.
Do you want to share more about what's happening for you right now? Perhaps you have some go-to activities or strategies that could support you at this time? I have a pretty assorted toolbox of self-care strategies to help me when I'm feeling overwhelmed. Having someone to talk to - in person or by phone - to listen without judgement is usually important. I then work on soothing myself as best I can and working out what my immediate priorities are and how to meet them. Sometimes letting these sad, low feelings out is critical for me, even though I find it hard to allow often. After the tears I can gain a bit of perspective on how to move forward, but the acknowledgement part is important first.
Please let us know how you're managing. Taking care of ourselves is our first job in life.
Warm thoughts to you.
