Anxious and depressed

[MargieAllee]

I feel like I’m burnt out and soon I won’t have the person I love with me who understands me around because he’s deploying and I’m in school right now and feel like I am a failure because I feel like quitting. I feel so anxious.

Hi and welcome! Thanks for sharing. I will try to help. I think you are being too hard on yourself and judging your feelings which are there for a reason, I believe. It could be a number of reasons honestly. You could ask yourself what are you feeling? Why are you feeling that way? and How? meaning did your environment cause your emotion? Was it directly related to your loved one deploying? or something else? or a combination possibly. and again why? Then they say to decide what to do about your emotion, rationally, to help ease it. That is what I am currently learning in a mindfulness course. Hope very much it helps. Feel free to reach out for any resources you may need. I am not a doctor.

p.s. personally I feel like that is very normal and hope you figure out how to feel better soon or the feeling just passes. Best wishes.

I'm sorry that you are feeling this burden at the moment. It is important to listen to these warnings that your mind and body are giving you. The feeling of burn out and the anxiousness are signals that something needs to change. If you want to talk more about it, is it the school work/load that is causing this or the fear of being alone when he leaves, or something else?
