Please help

[GeorgieBelle]

I am stuck in a rut of frustration, stress and sadness and I cannot find my way out. I feel increasingly anxious and increasingly depressed. My self esteem has plummeted. I am constantly tired. I am tired of being invisible. I am tired of putting in so much effort with people, and then not getting anything back. I look for the best in people and it continues to backfire and hurt me. It is taking me longer to get to sleep at night, yet always feel like I am about to fall asleep. I feel like I am always about to cry.

I am so tired of trying.

Please help me.

Hi GeorgieBelle, sorry to hear you're struggling at the moment. I think many of us here relate to what you have described. It's the pits eh!

How long have you been feeling this way? And is this the first time it's happened or have you experienced times like this before? Have you spoken to your doctor? Sorry a lot of questions I know, but I'd like to hear more from you - and sometimes just getting it out of your head and into words can help a bit.

Do you have people around you, family or friends, who understand or are you struggling alone? I hope you have support, though I know it's often hard to talk to even our closest people about how we feel.

If you would like to talk to someone one to one, you could call our BB helpline on 1300 22 4636. They are trained counsellors who will listen and help.

Keep talking here too Georgie, like I said so many of us know what it's like. You're safe and amongst friends.

Very best wishes

Kaz

hi GeorgieBelle, we know exactly what you are saying because it's happened to the majority of people on this site, and we have experienced the same pain as what you have mentioned, it's certainly not how we want to live our life.
Kazzl has asked you a couple of questions which are very important not only for you but also for us so that we can help you along with all of your problems.
It becomes too exhausting to deal with these problems by yourself, because you don't know where to begin, so we hope that you can trust us by helping you, but what you need to do is contact your doctor first of all, and if by any chance you feel scared about doing this then get back to us so that we can help you overcome that feeling, but also we would love to hear back from you, where you hopefully can tell us a little more about your situation. Love Geoff. x
