When will it stop?

[doingmybest2017]

I don’t know what to do. I feel so isolated and like there’s no one I can reach out to. My boyfriend and my mother are my only supports but I feel like I put so much on them. I just need a friend. Someone to understand. Anxiety is sky high. Like 8/10. I feel like the world is caving in and everyone is laughing at me or sick of me. I know I’m relying too much on my own devices and trying to do too much, but I dont know how to stop. I’m damned if I do and damned if I don’t. This is such a helpless feeling. I just want to know I’m not alone.

You're not alone. Today is a trying day for me also. My husband is at work and my only friend is gone for this long weekend. I realize I'm going to have to get through this weekend somehow. I know anxiety is really bad. My mind can just go a mile a minute. I go and take my dog for walks and see the things I usually see. Sometimes there's new things. I've tried to read and then realize I don't remember what I read. My mind is just out of control. I'm sorry u are having a bad time, but yes there are people who understand

Thank you. There’s so much relief in knowing I’m not alone. You’re not either. I really miss having a dog. That was my refuge from anxiety sometimes. I used to go on adventures with my pug. What kind of dog do you have?

I have a lasoa apsoa named Connor. He's my little buddy. He knows when I'm upset and just puts his head in my lap when I cry. The times I have thought it would be easier not to feel the pain, it's funny he comes to my mind. Who would take care of him like I do.

Dogs are the absolute best ❤️

Yes, we understand. I'm going through the same. If you ever want to talk to someone, know that I'm here, you're not alone.
