Confused as usual

[Worryinginnc]

I don't know what to write. I feel like nobody cares anyway, so what's the point. I'm always on edge,scared, anxiety, panicking. ...idk what to do or say. I'm at the end of my rope.

[NeuronerdDoaty]

Well that’s a great start. I’m glad you’re here. Of course people care. I care. You’re important. There’s always a point to your life. I don’t know what my point is right now as I’m at a crossroads but my gosh if this ragged old lady is needed somewhere then you are.

I hope you see a therapist.

A good start is to be sure you are getting plenty of fluid, eating as clean as possible, rest/sleep, gentle exercise.

You are loved and worthy💛

[Worryinginnc in reply to NeuronerdDoaty]

No, I can't see a therapist, no insurance. No money. I'm not loved, I'm used. I feel like I'm killing myself because I worry and stress levels are out of control. Don't know what to do. No family or friends. Not even neighbors. I'm scared all the time.

You have us. You aren’t alone. I love the people on here. They’re very kind. Wherever you live there’s a free mental health clinic. Go on your towns official website and look for it. Call churches or hit up an AA meeting because those 12 steps can be used for things other than alcohol. If your name means you’re in NC I’ll find somebody for you if you want. I went to and worked at Duke. I know the state well. Free mental health clinics are everywhere. Good luck to you💛

I have no transportation. It's useless for me. But, ty

No friends no family? Some places pick you up...call is all it takes..

[Hollick in reply to Worryinginnc]

Worry, I feel like that a lot of the time..so sorry, hope things get better. Will say a prayer for both of us..wherever you are, please take care..🙏

[usernameisgypsy]

Same!! Can't really say anything, but to say, you're not alone.

[gleason9guy]

You gotta find something that brings you peace. Listen to music, quiet time in a special places, reading a book, exercise...whatever. There has to be something you enjoy. And just focus on doing that. You need to start those neurons to firing and making you feel good. Train the brain!

I'm sorry for how hard it is for you, Worryinginnc. I care about you. I have found it true that people do care about us, but it is easy for us not to see it and to feel isolated and alone when we're struggling with mental health issues. Is there one thing that you like to do? Such as a hobby? In my case I have depression and am also mourning the death of my sister after a debilitating five-year illness (including extreme anxiety) and the ensuing changes that seem to limit my life.

Do you have faith? I hang on to the hope of healing in ways I can't imagine now. I believe complete healing and wholeness in the love of Christ is my future. Although I don't "have" healing right now, I see glimpses and promises of it here and there, and I trust. I ride my bike and "feel" my sister there with me. She's in God's perfect love and I will some day be able to "see" what she sees and be fully healed.

I rely on medicine, people, my cat, the hope of getting a puppy, prayer and faith, and various healthy coping skills I have had to learn as an adult. There is hope for you, too! Please believe and I'll be praying for you. Just one hobby is a tool you can use. Let there be delight.

If you're really looking to improve your condition then you need to force yourself to take a step in the right direction. I think Neuronerd had some good advice; there's got to be some free mental health clinic within a reasonable distance or hotline you can call. Anything is better than nothing when you're feeling this low. You just have to get the momentum going.

A couple things you can do on your own are meditating and keeping a journal. Build an awareness of your feelings and spend time productively thinking about what is influencing them.

Definitely can relate to this! It’s rough at times and I absolutely hate feeling that way.

[SuZQ154]

You are reaching out! That's wonderful! Keep doing it...we are here for you.

Sometimes, I follow, "Fake it until you make it." I keep doing what I believe is "right" or what the Lord is calling me to do, even when I don't feel like it. I tell myself, "Just start! You can stop at any time, but just start." Usually, once I start I keep going. Hope this helps. What do you feel you are being callled to do right now?
