I'm on the verge of losing the little sanity I have left my health draining me daily I can't do much nowadays which makes me really sad and depressed. Plus other things weighing me down. What a scary feeling I don't want to end up insane and in a mental institution. I don't want to be that person walking around talking to themselves wondering aimlessly and unaware

Oh no I’m sorry you’re feeling this way. I totally understand. I go through really rough periods of isolating and shutting down. I stay inside a lot. I have very bad anxiety about going out.

I know it’s hard not to think about if this is going to continue in the future, but this disease, you literally have to take one day at a time.

Are you taking medication? Maybe it’s not working. Is there anything that triggers these bad times? It’s good to share and let it out. There’s a lot of support on here.

I’ll be thinking about you 🙏🏼

My physical health is the main reason why I'm so stressed out and depressed then other stuff burdening me I can't seem to get out of this dark place. All this stuff don't go away. No I'm not on meds I have some though I hate taking them because it makes me feel like a zombie. I can't be like that i have 3 teens in school. Lord Jesus I'm so so weary I can't even think straight some days. I'm truly overwhelmed

Physical? Hunny you need to see a doctor. What’s going on? You need blood work and figure out what’s wrong. I’m worried about you.

Did the doctor tell you what’s wrong? As for the mental part, I understand how you feel. I hope you can find something that helps. Definitely talking about it is good. But feeling hopeless and completely negative about it is not allowing the good stuff. And there are good things ☺️

Haven't you been to your Dr about how you're feeling?

I have felt the same way. Every time it happens I end up needing to be in the hospital. There is no shame in asking for help. It is not your fault this is happening. I hope you can get some relief.

I feel the exact same way lately and it's scaring the living sh*t out of me.. i don't know what to do anymore or where to go.. i feel like i'm running out of options and like you said, my health is literally draining me. whether my symptoms are from anxiety or not i simply cannot deal. we have to just keep on keepin' on.. it's all we can do for now. just live in the moment and breathe. feel free to message me if you'd like.. i'd love to be of support for you! xx

I try so hard to keep on but most days I can't do much and yes it's scary and a burden just so over it

I get this too when my brain is spinning out of control with anxiety. It full on sucks and I feel like an alien in a body. I’m sorry anyone else has to deal with this feeling. Just know that panic comes in waves, let it happen. When the tension is too high and I’m totally overwhelmed I cry. I’m a big cryer and I feel a whole lot better after a good cry. I also started exercising and this is also helping me balance myself. I have some awful times though, it’s all part of the battle.

Hey!

I’m sorry you feel this way. Remember, YOU ARE NOT GOING CRAZY. Right now, your brain is tired and being overworked so that’s why the crazy, irrational thoughts. If you can find a way to relax, this will help greatly. It will take time, but you need to relax the brain. I hate medication too so I started seeing an integrative doctor because I wanted to alleviate my anxiety/depression naturally. She suggested supplements and they’ve been a godsend. Exercise is fantastic too and it could just be a walk in nature if you hate to work out. I was able to calm my scary thoughts and my rational brain surfaced again. It’ll take time, but it works. Good luck to you!
