Hi. I’ve been feeling emotionally numb for about a week. I’ve lost interest in everything and I don’t feel like myself. I’m overwhelmed by stress from my relationship, work, money, and feeling stuck in life. I’ve had thoughts that life isn’t worth living, but I don’t have a plan or intention to harm myself. I’m overthinking everything and don’t really want to talk to people I know, but I don’t want to keep carrying this alone.

Hello, I’m so sorry you are feeling like that and good on you for reaching out. You don’t have to carry this alone.
I understand the feeling of everything being so stressful and the constant over thinking. It becomes so tiring, it’s okay to feel how you are feeling right now.
If it’s any reassurance, I like to remind myself that just like the cycles of nature, it is normal and okay to go through periods of withdrawal and “retreat”, like an inner winter.
It makes sense with overwhelming stress that your body& mind is responding like this.
I know it’s difficult in the world we live in today, but remember that you are inherently worthy of life, love and peace. Regardless of your circumstances. You were not born to be a productivity machine. Take as much time as you can/need to let your mind & body rest right now.
You don’t have to have everything figured out.
Do you have any self care practices that you enjoy? Like a warm shower at the end of your day or having your favourite meal for dinner?
I understand it might be difficult to think of things you enjoy right now, you still deserve peaceful moments where you can find them ☺️ I am sending support through the screen

@a_p_s i resonate with your reluctance to tell people you know that things haven't been great. im very reliant on professional support in venting my frustrations of what i dont like about myself or what stresses me out, as @Venus888 dont carry this alone. if you're in uni especially, a counsellor or chaplain can be a good start to seek external help, im so thankful mine has dedicated services.
sending lots of love from my screen ❤️
