I give up

[Korra]

I need help. Everyday I feel more alone and I just don't know what to do. It's easy to type out support but not so easy to show that support in actions. So. What's the point. It's not like posting here will give me any real help and I have to much fear to go to someone irl. So there is no point.

Korra, don't give up. We are stronger that this disease. I just came from walking outside with my fiancee just to calm me down from a very strong panic attack. For 2 years I was anxiety free, that's what I thought and since May of this year they are back stronger each day. It seems like it will defeat me, but I am not letting it defeat me. Be strong. Talk to me here when you can and we can both figure out how to control it and live a fulfilling life.

Life... there's so much more out there waiting for us if we can break free...

The point is, you can get through this.

Do you feel that the people around you don’t give a sufficient support? I think your thoughts are a reflection of your feelings. It is unfortunate that mental illness is not “visible”. Here I’ll give you reasons to not give up on yourself:

1. You have something to offer. Even when you ask for help in here, you show others that they are not alone in the struggle. You showed me I’m not alone to consider giving up.

2. There are millions of people who can benefit from your love and compassion. If you decide to volunteer, think of how many people benefit from it? Or if you donate, how many children’s lives can you save?

3. Your struggle right now is an opportunity for you to learn about yourself — something you can share to others that gone through the same thing in the future.

4. You are beyond your feelings, thoughts, achievements and struggles. You are a unique individual. Because each of us is different but we are all here because we struggle with mental illness.

5. Your thoughts, feelings and its physical sensations will change. Are you currently thinking 100% exact same thing yesterday and today (past 30 days)? Did you drink at exactly same time in the past 30 days? Are the cars passing you by all the same? You change and so others around you.

6. You’re not alone. Like you, I’m overwhelmed by my symptoms like as if there’s no light in the end of the tunnel/ an alien on this earth. It’s okay to feel frustrated, tired, but please don’t give up because these will pass.
