Struggling with life in general

Hi All.

I have always suffered from anxiety but the lockdown and stresses at work are really playing on my mind. I’ve tried talking to my partner and friends but they say all I talk about is myself and that I should be grateful for want I have. I’m really struggle to focus on the bigger picture and worry about everything. I feel like a failure. And that everyone else feels like I just moan. So I put on a brave face and get though the day. But inside I’m so sad. I’ve tried to speak to the doctor but I just break down. I feel so alone. But don’t want to be a burden. I really don’t know how to break this cycle of feelings.

In exact same situation here. My anxiety is bringing insomnia which was worst today.

Partner thinks the same, friends and work colleague say i think too much.

however one family member who had gone through same had given a one off advice.

Brake down in front of A&E doctor to explain insomnia and other medical issues after stomatch infection, she been so kind checking everything but at the end given a leaflet for mental health.

So don't feel alone with you in this never ending cycle from past 3 months.

Simple word/ command to all worries and stresses is "cancel cancel". It helps a bit

Thank you for your reply. I realise so many people are going through different issues of their own. It’s nice to know some people understand

Hard times, everyone is for themselves. Simply ignore bad thoughts and stay positive. Life isn't worth spending in worries. None is burden to anyone. Give yourself a tap on shoulder and keep going
