Need help

[Yoyo85]

Where can I get help? Don’t have the strength to be here any longer, feeling down, emotional and alone..Even if Im around a big crowd...anxiety, depression and panic attacks , I feel like I don’t belong here and that I’m a waste of space...

Your emotions and feelings dont always tell you the truth. Sometimes I think we need to disregard them and act as though we are our best friends even though we dont feel it. You are valuable and worth it. Im not good in a crowd or even a small group either. Sometimes I turn to my dog to keep me focused, his opinion of me is often better than mine. Cut yourself some slack. We are our hardest judges on ourselves.

Yoyo were are you from. How long you been sufferings from this.at the point of how you feel you should go to hospital and tell them you need help with the way you feel... what helps me is putting on a headset put music on and just jam out to keep your mind off of what ever is triggering the anxiety..

I’m from Allentown , it’s been a couple of months..I tried to keep myself occupied at times, but those thoughts are still there..

I know the feeling. I wish I could offer some words of encouragement but what you described I’ve been going through everyday. Hang in there, eventually you’ll find the right help you need. And this site is a great resource of individuals who understand.

I understand your feelings (was there for the last month). Take it day by day (maybe hour by hour), post on this site and most of all hope you have someone to keep you safe. People on this site got me through the last month - coming out of it (I hope). Stay safe

I don’t have anyone that understands how I feel or anyone to talk to so that’s why I’m on this group..

You belong here and you are good. It is probably worth seeking professional therapy if you have insurance or can otherwise afford it, but talking here can help too. Try to remember that other people are not better or more worthy than you--you are good as you are.

I am where you are in these intense feelings. People like us—you are not alone—need support on many levels: support groups like this, and professional help. I feel like I have been on emotional life support for years. I have been in therapy for 40 yrs, and spent a considerable percentage of my income on it. But it’s worth it. You’re worth it. You matter. Don’t give up.
