Can`t handle this anymore

[Starlight]

Hi

I haven`t posted a lot on here but I need to put down how I feel or I think I will go crazy.

I`m feeling down and have been on and off for a while now but I can`t seem to shake it off. I feel useless basically I can`t help anyone let alone myself. I can`t stand feeling like this but it`s not like I can help how I feel. I don`t usually tell people how im really feeling as I know people have their own problems to deal with. My mum tries to understand the best she can which I really apreciate. I keep thinking about the things my anxiety has stopped me from having like a job and friends. I don`t have any self confidence, it seems to be at rock bottom and I dont know how to change that. I feel like I don`t know who I am anymore and so want to be the person I once was. I try to cheer myself up but it doesn`t work or last long. I`m trying my hardest to overcome my problems but I don`t seem to be doing very well.

Sorry for going on I just needed to let it out as keeping it bottled up doesn`t help any.

Hi sweety

The worst thing you can do is bottle things up so well done for posting.

Have you been to your GP regarding you anxiety?

Hi,

You should post as often as you like, it really helps. I agree that every time you feel bad post it on here and you will get help and support.

I can relate to how you are feeling. I recently went to my gp - which I should have done many years ago. Your gp will be able to help you.

Good luck and Take care Anna xx

Anxiety and depression are awful as they make you feel like there is no end in sight in terms of your suffering....

But things will change in time. I think seeing your GP (if you haven't already) would be a great starting point, as is writing posts on here and sharing your problems with us. We are here to listen.

your GP would hopefully be able to give you some help in terms of offering counselling etc.

Don't bottle it up....make the most of these forums and hopefully that will help you to feel better over time.

Hi Starlight

Sorry you're feeling so down. You really struck a chord with me when you wrote 'I feel like I don`t know who I am anymore and so want to be the person I once was. I try to cheer myself up but it doesn`t work or last long.' in your post. I could have written this myself!

Try to see your GP, even if it's just for a chat.

Hi Starlight

It's good that you decided to post, sometimes by opening up to others who do understand then you can start to understand yourself.

Keep posting and I hope things improve for you soon.
