I'm not really sure how to use this tbh

I just feel very empty and struggling to find the support I need, my anxiety doesn't allow me to reach out and I don't really have my friends or family around me anymore, I'm so worn out and overwhelmed and tired with everything in life and I feel myself sinking. I can't even bring myself to tell me partner how much I'm struggling and masking all my pain within, it's so hard.

Welcome friend. You have come to a place where you can vent and find ppl in similar situations. I also often suffer in silence as to not burden my husband. Trying to navigate life with mental illness sucks. It’s isolating, tiresome, and sometimes downright infuriating. The best thing we can do is take things day by day and try to find the right mechanisms to help us live a healthy life.

Welcome to HU community. I'm sorry to hear that you're struggling right now.

I know what it's like not having close friends to reach out to or family anymore. My best friend recently moved away. And the rest of my friends live in different states and have chaotic lives. So I can't talk to them.

My family. Well I only have my mom to talk to about my issues. But it's difficult now. She has health problems and is deaf in 1 ear. My dad bless his heart doesn't really understand anxiety. But my dad is in another relationship so I don't have my dad like I used too. I was never really close with my siblings.

If I may recommend the Dare app (if you like to read the book version Dare by Barry McDonagh)so you can learn how to cope better with anxiety. And do try to talk to your partner. They deserve to know the real you. If they are a good partner to you, then they won't judge you. Your partner will be understanding. Even if you can't explain everything, just sharing a long hug with them can do you wonders. Maybe they can be your safe person.

Wishing you healing and peace 🫂 ❤️

sorry to hear l feel that best option if all matters of be elevated l would seek help from a adviser for Anxiety on line help groups or seek assistance from a Doctor who can advise you with the situation hope things work out Anxiety can be treated with talk therapy, medicines, or both: Talk therapy involves talking with a mental health professional — like a psychiatrist, psychologist, or counselor. One common type of talk therapy is called cognitive behavioral therapy, or CBT.1 Oct Hope things work out

welcome and you’re not alone. I think we’re all here for some reason or another I myself and similar to you. I don’t really have any friends or family near me and I’m all alone and my anxiety and depression has been getting the best of me over the last eight months or so can be very isolating challenging at times what are you looking forward to this group?

welcome I know how hard it is to open up to others about what you’re feeling and the anxiety doesn’t make it any better but know that you’re gonna get through this you gotta talk to someone hun even if it just you and God he hears you and your partner as well allow them in to help you , you can be blocking the one person who wants to be there for you , so let’s start somewhere . Have you tried journaling if you feel you’re too embarrassed maybe u can write it out. I have faith in you and again you will get through this this too shall pass

Depression and anxiety are terrible things to have to deal with. Having MS I have anxiety but I waited so long before I broke down and got an MRI. I’ll probably had MS 10 years before I was diagnosed. When I was diagnosed, it was like a relief. What was wrong with me had a name. I’m no specialist but I can make observations. Last week I was in the hospital in a coma for two days. My spouse stayed with me the entire time. Then when I got home, I was brain fried could not operate the remote or the television. it took two days to start sleeping and functioning again and I am grateful for her. Will pray for you. Sometimes it doesn’t hurt to talk to someone in a counseling session. You will be in my prayers as everyone on this form is.

have a good night!
