Overwhelmed need support

[ck1995]

Hi all,

I’m very overwhelmed. There are a lot of things going on in my life and lots of big changes. I’m looking for a job since I’m finishing graduate school soon 🤞🏻which is two big changes in itself. My nephew who is my light and love and is pretty much the only reason I choose to live sometimes is very sick. I’m getting stressed about jobs because I don’t drive I have a very big fear. I can drive I am licensed but I get panic attacks so I don’t do it. Some jobs I want I need a car. I live in a big City so the train is easily accessible and I’ll get a job regardless but it just sucks that I have hat limitation. I really want to drive but I have such terrible anxiety. I’m also in recovery from substances and today my sponsor called me and yelled at me about something and this was triggering and I started to ball my eyes out this upset her more. I just feel like I’m not a good person and I disappoint everyone. I have all these thoughts and it’s night time and they won’t stop. I’m just so so sad. Please support. 💔

I am new to this and don’t really know how it works yet. But I wanted to tell you that you are not alone. I am lying in bed in the same lonely, anxious darkness with anxiety spiraling out of control. Mine is because I may lose my house- the same one I am often too anxious to leave. So I am sending you supportive thoughts. I hope for both of us that it gets better.

One step at a time CK. I’m sober and deal with anxiety as well. It’s just really important that you keep guiding your mind back to one thing at a time. Eventually it will settle down but it’s a pain until it does.

Just keep at it. This is going to pass and you’re going to be okay.
