My mental health problems

[Desssa]

I’m 21 years old and my mental health is low and depressed and anxiety. I feel like I want to die in my mind. I’m lonely. I feel like I am failure .

Im sure you’re not a failure you are just in a bad place at the moment take care of yourself and be kind to yourself. I hope you get some support and start feeling better soon

I am so very sorry to hear how sad and lonely you feel. Honestly there is help out there and lots of people who care. It is so courageous of you to reach out.

I really hope you can also speak with your GP as depression and anxiety, like other illnesses needs to be treated and supported. Lots of GPS now work with therapists and people who can help with loneliness.

There is also an online organisation called Kooth for younger people (up to 25 years old I believe): kooth.com

Please talk to your GP or Kooth.

Hi Desssa, Have you just felt like this during Covid or have you felt like this previously? Please make an appointment with your GP and tell them how your feeling if you haven't already. Your not alone as Covid in particular has caused many to feel like you do, including myself. I can honestly say I have never experienced feeling lonely or suffered with anxiety till Covid hit.Your GP is there to help and they will be able to give you contacts appropriate for you. You may even need a course of medication to help your recovery, so please do that. Don’t know much about your background but most things have opened up now. Do you have any family or friends who would support you. Please talk to your GP, and keep in touch on how your getting on.

Desssa, It is so horrible to feel like that but it is often easier when you can talk to someone you trust. As others have said here, please speak to your doctor and if that is hard, ask the surgery for some numbers you can call when you can't speak to them, like crisis teams and helplines. Without giving too much information, can you say what town or city you live in? There may be helping groups for under 25s or social groups you might try.

Oh I understand Desssa, my Son 32yrs has this off & on, he spoke to his Gp & got Blood Test to check all sorts, see if anything low in, even Hormone levels, Vitamins, Feramones, Iron. Its worth speaking to them, also Drawing, Music, Comedy on Tv, online is Good & of course Walking & Animals really helps. Friends & relatives anyone Close to you that you feel connected too. Self love/care. MIND look up & Headspace, CBT, KOOTH is Good one youngsters on Search Facebook no need to say your Name.

As far as stress goes, I prefer to deal with it in other ways, like blacktiecbd.net/products/ta... . It seems to me that this is a more effective way when you need to get relaxation right now and feel a quick effect. I think this is a more convenient option for me than taking various cbd supplements on a regular basis.
