I don't know how to get through each day

[catlady65]

It feels like my mind hasn't stopped racing for the last few months. Work, job stability, finances, claustrophobia (it makes my commute difficult), and my relationship all make me feel overwhelmed. I feel like I have no one to talk to. I spend the majority of my time by myself and while I enjoy some of that alone time, it has gotten to be too much where I just feel lonely. My friends are busy or don't live in my city and we have to make plans weeks in advance when sometimes I just want to do something spontaneous when I'm not feeling well.

I started therapy but my therapist would cancel our appointments last minute and I haven't just been counting down the days until my appointment with the next one (who didn't have availability for weeks). I don't know who to turn to between appointments.

It has gotten to the point where I've been so distracted at work and when I'm around other people that I feel disconnected from the present.

I want to go out but it is also so expensive and feels like I have nowhere to go on my own since I don't feel safe being out alone at night.

Same here. I work on jigsaw puzzles and walk outside most everyday to try and distract the ruminating negative thoughts.

I welcome chats anytime. I enjoy sharing stories and coping skills.

I love doing jigsaw puzzles too but when I get that itchy feeling I can't sit still for them

Hi @calady65 I'm so sorry you're dealing with so much and having your therapy appointments cancelled last minute. I do understand how you must be feeling and I want to encourage you not to give up or despair about this situation. Please try and gentle with yourself.

I pray as you go forward that the coming days will bring you new hope, strength and peace. Sending you much hugs )))
