Lost in a perpetual spiral of sorrow

As I write this, thoughts of being melodramatic and to get over it plague me. My obsession with self pity is making me yearn a more permanent state of being. I feel like an outsider to my own journey, an alien to my existence. It takes all my being to just not give up, I don't want to. Because as distant as my past seems to my current state of mind. I do vaguely remember what serenity feels like.
I haven't left my home in over a year. I haven't spoken to anyone in half that time. Both scare me to over come. I need help with it but I don't know how to ask. I can't do it for anyone else, I have to do it for myself and that's the greatest challenge of all because when it comes down to it. I don't feel like I'm worth it. Maybe this post to myself will help me, maybe it won't. Maybe someone can relate, I hope not.
I am a lost soul, in a perpetual spiral of sorrow.

I am so so sorry to hear what you have been going through. You have found strength to reach out to this forum and put your feelings into words - that is great. I’m new here myself but you should know there are people listening.
It may sound daunting but have you thought about calling a support line? It took a lot for me to make a call and it was hard at first but sharing thoughts and experiences helped.

Hi
I understand that feeling your going through. The longer it goes on tbe deeper the black hole.
That you are reaching out here is such a positive thing to do is a bit of hope. If when you feel comfortable you want to call our help line for a verbal chat that would be even better.
I know this might sound a bit far fetched but we all know it takes ages on hold to get through to centrelink. Maybe try just phoning and staying on hold as a way of slowly introducing yourself to being comfortable on the phone untill you feel that you can talk.
