Feeling disconnected

[London11]

Im going to start by saying that im a very private person and coming on here is a big step for me.

I have recently quit my job after many years of bullying and not being listened to, finding work has been incredibly hard. It was a weight lifted off my shoulders quitting work but i still struggle day to day. I struggle to sleep, have disturbing dreams and feel very disconnected. Most of my life i have always been there for others, helping them anyway o can. I recently told one of my friends that i will be focusing on myself and have been completely cut from there life. I feel alone. My mother has been a rock for me, my partner tries to but cares more for his ex wifes needs. I have always felt that im a burden to everyone, and feel mentally exhausted.
