I don’t feel like me anymore

[cookiek]

I don’t feel like me anymore. I feel like I’m drowning in my own thoughts and they are gonna get the best of me. I feel like I have nobody and I have let everyone down. I don’t want to be me anymore

You have me and so many other people on here. Why do you think that you dont feel like you?

[cookiek in reply to Balloffur2468]

I’m just not the same girl I used to be. I used to want to be here. I was once happy. Everything went downhill. I don’t enjoy the things I use to. I just don’t feel like me anymore

I actually felt the same at your age. The early 20s are hard. It will take some time but everything will fall into place. It’s okay to not be the same person that you were before. It’s a sign that you are growing and evolving into the person you are meant to be. We’re all here for you. I can totally relate to be drowning in thoughts. I’m currently experiencing the same thing. I noticed I feel it less when I surround myself with others and get out of the house.

It's depression.

I felt like I was living in a fog. I learned through therapy that it was me projecting I let people down. When what was happening was I was battling my own thoughts of failure. I know now that it was not failure I was just grieving my situation.

Are you in therapy?

I was in therapy but then I stopped going because it wasn’t helpful

It does take a good amount of time in therapy to see its results. But, it's not the answer for everyone.

Distraction and keeping busy are things that might work.

There are self help books out there and you tube videos.

I know it can be hard to do these if your focus is off.

Are you safe?
