I feel trapped in my own head

I don’t know what to do anymore, I feel like I’ve become my own enemy. I’m on edge or down most of the time and I can’t explain why. And when I think about how I feel it just makes me feel like crap even more as I don’t want to be passing on my negative energy to my partner. He’ll ask me what’s wrong but I don’t have any answers. Then I overthink how I’m ruining my own relationships with the ppl I love most. I doubt myself all the time now as I can’t trust my own judgement of my emotions (if Someone actually upset me or if I’m just in a down mood). I overthink everything and I’m very forgetful. Making everyday decisions is a chore that I struggle with. How can anyone understand me when I don’t understand myself. I feel so alone

Hi there,

Firstly, be Kind to yourself. Your going through a rough time obviously, so be confident that you will get through this! I would definitely look into seeing a doctor and possibly anti-depressants so that you won't feel so low. Find a Professional who you feel can understand you and shows interest in helping you get through your issues. Writing a diary can help as well with getting out your thoughts instead of having them go round and round in your head, as well helping you see how your progressing.

Don't feel your a burden to others. You need love and support in times like these, as does every other Human Being.

I hope this has helped,

Givi

Hi there tryingtounderstandmyself

Welcome to this forum where there is support and understanding.

I am sorry you feel so down. I wonder if there is any time in the day even for a few minutes when you dont feel so bad.

I used to find I was better inthe evenings but everyone is different.

I think seeing your doctor would be a start if you would consider that.

How long have you been feeling like this? did it come one slowly or quickly.

Thanks for reaching out.
