So so lost.

[I_Hate_Me_2]

The last few days has been hard. I feel lost. Life is like I’m watching it happening around me whilst I’m lost and don’t know how to get out of all this mess. It’s like I’m not living life. More like being dragged through and bumpy with no right path. Usually I’m good at writing what I mean or explain it better but struggling to find words strong enough to explain what I mean but can’t. I’m lost, useless and downright pathetic.

Hello friend, I'm sorry for your suffering. Life can be really harsh to us in the most unexpected of times. If you don't mind me asking, are you seeing a mental health expert and are you on any medication? If not, please do see a doctor. From what you say, it looks like you are suffering from anxiety and depression. Dear friend, help is out there. Seeing a doctor and being started on medications are some of the best things that have happened to me. I see things differently now. I see the brighter side of things in life. Making some small changes in your daily routines can also go a long way in improving mental health. If there's a garden near you, you can just sit on a bench and just observe the sounds of nature. If you have pets, please try to spend more time with them. It's amazing how animals can help in healing our mental wounds. Try to watch comedy films and tv shows even if you don't feel like it. Please open up to your family and friends about your problem; they can help a lot. YOU ARE NOT ALONE.

Hello Joeyman.

Thank you so much for your reply to this post. Such lovely words.

I’m on Fluoxetine 60mg. The MH team have discharged me as I’m in therapy. Been 4 months for the therapy so far.

Loved to read you seeing things more better now. I don’t have any pets but do love animals.

I am really trying to be ok. To not fail and keep breaking down. Everything seems so exhausting.
