ive had this for a while and i never used it, but this last year has been more difficult than. i mean i always had problems but i never speak on them and now i have so much to deal with, the stress, panic attacks, sleeping its all so much and im just so tired.

Sounds like you’re really struggling at the moment 😔

You’re in a good place here to be able to talk about it - lots of people who will be able to empathise with what you’re going through.

It’s hard to talk sometimes but also it’s an important part of coping with things in my experience. I went for probably (I’ve lost track a little!) about 10 years without talking to anyone about what I was dealing with and gradually began to open up. The past couple of years, I’m still quite private, but I have found some trusted people to confide in which has really helped me.

I’m hear to listen if you want to share more of what you’ve been going through.

Take Care

thank you for replying. sometimes its hard to get the right words and even when i do it feels like its still feels like the wrong thing. ive grown so accustomed to keeping things to myself since i was raised in a way where we never talked about our feelings, and when something were to happen we didnt talk about and kept it behind closed doors. my mother wanted to know what was happening but she didnt want to know truly. mainly because the truth hurts more than not knowing.

It’s true, sometimes the truth hurts.

It’s hard when we’re not used to opening up and feel like people don’t really want to know, I’ve definitely felt that before - don’t let it put you off, though.

Find the right people to talk to. Some people don’t want to hear things and it’s not because of you but because of their own thoughts and way of dealing with things. Still tough to be on the receiving end of.

Try to let go of the worry about not getting the words quite right the first time - you can always have another go! Opening up for the first time is the most difficult step. Like I say, you’re welcome to talk to me if you want to - even if you’d prefer to message me privately, I’m ok with that.

Hi sorry to hear about how you’re feeling is there maybe something you can tell us that we could maybe advise you on none of use will judge you hence why this is the only app I have where I talk to people

Try using magnesium oxide 500mg at night, which will help with sleep and anxiety. It actually blocks norepinephrine. I actually take it and it definitely stabilizes my moods in a perfect way. In addition it protects the heart as well.
