issues with opening up

[anxiousgirly]

was wondering if anyone can relate to anxiety being so overwhelming that you can’t even do any coping skills? I also feel like I cannot open up about my mental health struggles to my loved ones, I just have a very hard time opening up and I’m wondering if anyone can relate? I guess I worry I’m too much or they wouldn’t understand. But it is getting so tiring keeping it all in!

that is true! Thank you. It’s definitely something I need to work on.

hi i think its easier to say things re writing them or by typing such as in a message rather than face to face, but then sometimes cannsay too much,sometimes its easier to get things out with strangers that you are afraid ti tell loved ones at home, and on here and other sites regarding health issues others can relate and often understand more, take care 🤗

I’m the same. I’m 69 and have finally told my brother and sister that I’ve had depression on and off all my life. They’ve been really supportive. I would really try and tell someone even if it’s an email. It does help.

Hi it’s a safe place here if you want to discuss or vent. People are more understanding & open now, I’ve had several people who had admitted to my face & that’s through work & outside of it. Just be careful who you tell.
