Feeling hopeless this is all getting too much

[itgetsbetter5]

I feel like failure even though I’m seeing a therapist right now I feel like I’m alone. I have no one to talk to about everything its getting too much in these past few days, my paranoid thoughts of being followed are triggered again they feel true again I thought I was healing from it. My social anxiety seems to be improving but I’m still struggling I keep making the bad impression, I’m useless I feel like theres no future for me, I can’t see myself relaxing outside of the house and having fun, I can’t see my coworkers liking me, I can’t see myself relaxing and not being consumed by the thoughts of being watched or followed. I don’t know how I’m gonna keep going I’m just really tired now.

Hi Itgetsbetter5,

Sorry to hear you are feeling particularly low at the moment and things are hard. You should not feel like a failure - you are obviously taking steps to try to feel better - by seeing a therapist. That means you are achieving something, being strong. Have you checked out the pinned posts on this site, maybe if you feel you need to talk to someone, you could try one of the contact numbers.

There are lots of supportive and helpful members on this site, as well as people who understand what you are going through. Is there anyone who can offer some advice or just be here to chat with Itgetsbetter5? A lot of people are in similar situations.

Stay strong, and focus on the things you are achieving - seeing a therapist, managing to hold down a job etc.

We wish you all the best and hope you feel better soon.
