Life at a stand still

[Seza]

Hi im 29, my life is at a stand still.i suffer from both anxiety and depression and have done since i was 17. I havent actively sought help until lately because i couldn't see a way of getting through this night mare alone anymore. I think the fact that i have just come out of a controlling 8yr long relationship hasnt helped the situation nor coming into a new relationship that is heading toward turmoil. My partner to suffers from anxiety and iv been trying so hard to help him i feel iv left my only problems in the back ground. He pushes me away but i keep being they're for him and i have no body to support me i can't keep going like this iv had enough my life seems to have no purpose hope or meaning feeling lost

Hi Seza,

I'm glad you posted and reached out. You have to do that in order to discover that there is support and help available to you and to discover that there are people who understand and care. You will find support, compassion and guidance on these forums so please look around and read through some of the threads.

I'm glad you are getting help as we have to help ourselves before we can help others to be well. You sound like a supportive and compassionate person who wants to help others like your partner and for me I have always found helping others an important part of my own recovery/healing. Because of my desire to help others I try to take care of myself as best as I can and I get help when I need it. I have found that volunteer work has helped give my life purpose and given me something to focus on. Some days it works but sometimes it doesn't. I have my good days and bad days as I'm sure you do but I guess what I'm getting at is that there are good days. I hope a good day is coming your way.

Please keep reaching out for help. It's the bravest and most important thing you can do.
