I am lost

[4181_22]

Hello,  I am so lost. I cant seem to find energy. I am mentally so tired and feel like I had enough of everything. I still try to do my best at work and in my personal life for the sake of others but its exhausting and at the end of the day its so hard. I am making every effort to put a smile on my face and cheer everyone around me and make them happy. I like to see people happy but I feel exhausted. I dont know if I am making any sense.

Hi 4181_22,

I'm sorry, it must be very confusing and frustrating.

You're a good person, you're so caring, but like anyone else, I think you need help now.

Do you want to share, have you experienced trauma or mental health issue in the past and what was the story?

Or, if this is the first time that you feel so bad, do you want to share what could possibly the trigger from your understanding? What happened to you recently?

I would strongly suggest you to stay open to your family and close friends, tell them your experience and feeling, let them help you. It's also a good idea to give BB hotline a call, to get some advice about what kind of professional help might be the right one for you.

Hope everything will be better.

Mark

Hi there,

I am sorry you are going through this, it must be hard for you. And yes, this does make sense. It is exhausting sometimes trying to keep up with the demands of life, and sometimes you need a break. Are you in a position to take some leave from work? You don't have to go anywhere, you can go away if you want, but you can just take some time for yourself and reset. 

Have you seen a doctor or mental health professional about this as well?

I hope things improve soon,

Jaz xx

I'm sorry you feel this way, but I do totally understand, I actually feel the same as you....just tired, drained and exhausted all the time, it sux I know! I'm not sure what to say to help you, but what I have decided in my life is that I need something new/different in my life, so as of next year I have booked in to learn how to play the drums.....something I have always wanted to do. Maybe you could start a new hobby or learn an instrument or anything. Dont worry about trying to make everyone else happy, just focus on yourself and make you number 1.
