Struggling

[SamuelGriffen]

Hi, just joined this group. Life is really hard right now, I know it is for a lot of people, but it feels unbearable. So much numbness and confusion, it feels endless, like my brain is completely screwed. People try to help but no one really knows how. I feel so lonely and afraid, nothing brings me comfort anymore. I feel loved by physical touch (not like sexual) but have been single for a couple years now, had to move in with my parents because of my illness, and my social anxiety has gotten much worse, so I have a hard time initiating conversation with people. I'm doing my best to stay positive and I've been changing my diet and exercising but it all just feels like too much. Getting my amalgam fillings removed, hopefully that'll help. I don't understand the purpose of being alive if it's like this.

Hi and welcome 🤗 glad your here. You will find friends, support and advice here without judgement. It sounds like you're having a rough time. I'm sorry to hear that. Anxiety and depression etc suck! That said, although you don't feel like it, I sense you do have hope from your post. The fact that you joined here and are making positive changes in your life with diet and exercise is awesome. It takes a lot of motivation and strength to do that. Well done. Recognise that your doing everything you can to help yourself and things will get better. Some days just getting out of bed is hard enough so give yourself a high five for doing that too!!! 😘 The purpose of life is to become the best version of yourself you can be. Whatever that is. YOU brings YOU to the world. YOU are enough XXX
