Everything seemed perfect

For long time I was struggling with so much stress, anxiety and depression due my toxic job, also because I have nobody to help me in anyway, I have not so much friends and there is no one that I can be completely open without the fear of being judged. In my home I am not comfortable anymore because it is a very small place for my son and I. By this moment I can't afford another place. Also I have been struggling with low motivation and no energy , so my home is a mess. My son is a teenager with a diagnostic of ADHD and anxiety too. It is not easy to care of him when I can't do it for my own life . It is difficult to help him when I am sad or stressed all the time.

Well, even though the whole situation that I explained, I started to feel motivated again and happiness. It was because after 20 years I reunited with an old friend. My friend has been in love of me since highschool but I never wanted a love relationship with him. He still contacted me and visited me a lot of times for about 4 years just trying to have a love relationship with me. But I never wanted. I did not love him.

Before he got married, I started to feel interested for him but it was too late because he started a sentimental relationship with someone else.

He lived his life, he married and got kids. I got a son too. He still tried to be in contact with me but just to know about me , because he said he still loved me. After 13 years of marriage he is going to divorce because his wife cheat on him twice. After 3 months he contacted me again. So we started to talk a lot get so much fun. He said he still love me and I gave us a chance. It seemed very perfect. He still was crazy in love of me and I started to love him too. We were dating and getting so much fun. All that situation makes me feel alive and happy again. I started to feel a lot of good emotions because our relationship. I thought that probably it will help me to gain the strength that I lose when I started with my depression. I thought that this relationship will help me . But everything changed. Our relationship is not going anymore because of personal problems that he is facing.

That situación just added more pain to my mental health. I was feeling stronger but then suddenly it faded away and left a deeper pain and sadness.

Now, I feel worse than before because all my anxiety and sadness came back but with a booster. With a heartbreak.

I can't find a place for me to feel safe of my feelings. I don't want to go home. My job is an ugly place. I don't want to go to the gym because I don't feel any calm. I just stay inside my car for hours because I don't have a place to stay.

I am just feeling so much pain emotionally and physically because of my anxiety that I am just crying the whole day. Then when I get tired, I rest my mind a bit, . It gets white. No emotions, no thoughts. Nothing. The time goes faster when I am in that point. But then I start to think again and all the pain and sadness come back. It is like a circle.

I know that I have to take the correct steps for me to feel better but how can I do it if my mind doesn't help me because my sadness. I know that there are a lof of valuable things in my life that can help me, like my son, that I have a home to live in, that I have a job, etc.

But I can't feel that good emotions that come with all of that.

I am sorry if it is difficult to understand my writing. I am still practicing my English but I hope that you guys can understand what I meant.

I don know how to feel happy again. I want my life back under my control again.

I don't know how. I am just crying all the time and thinking in my new disappointment.

Hello 👋I am on medication and my doctor increased my doses to the highest milligram. Also she added another medicine. I am taking Venlafexin, Bupropion for depression and anxiety. And at night I take prazozin for my nightmares.

But I am not sure if is is ok if my doctor decides to increase the doses of the other medicines. I know that she will give me that advice.

I say this because my meds were working fine. But my problems increased and after that situation my meds were not enough.

And about the group that you said, how is that ?

I don't know were to start.

I am here for you also . I will try to check in to be here for anyone who wants to talk. I have been experiencing the entire gambit of sadness , inability to work , tearfulness , undetermined feelings of doom . Do any of you ever attribute these feelings to hormones or adrenals ? I’m trying to research this . Of course my symptoms may be different than yours . I also have sweats and chills with mine anc it lasts days sometimes . Thanks for this making this group happen I think it may help us all.
