Same problem with two different friends
Relationship Stress / by SilverSky24

...See more Hi so I have been working on my mental health for a few years now and I have come a long way. But sadly I now recognize that my two and only friends, who don't know each other, are both selfish demanding people. They've been draining my emotional energy for years and I would have done anything for them. I have done so much for them at my own expense without asking for anything in return. I've noticed this now and their constant complaining and negative outlook on life has been hard for me. I've recently fallen back into a depression and after trying to support each of them about the next 'big drama' I told them how I wasn't feeling well and that it would be better if we could talk about it the next day. Two different friends, different weeks apart and different drama but I asked really nicely for some space. No one asked how I was, they are now both giving me the silent treatment and seem mad at me. I don't think I can be friends with either of them anymore but it really hurts to be cast aside amd blamed. They were my only friends and I feel I should try to make them see my point if view and retain the bond. But the other part of me thinks it's too hard and they will never see their flaws. I just want to cut ties but then I feel like I'm running away. Relationships are so difficult.

One of those days
Anxiety Support / by SilverSky24

...See more 7 hours in to my 8 hour workday and I've maybe been productive for 2 hours at most. Every little challenge is too much for me today. I feel so overwhelmed and hopeless. Some days I can roll with the punches and still smile, other days I can't function at all. Nothing particularly bad has happened today, I've tried being positive and being productive and trying to concentrate. I've written out a plan and I've spoken to a listener. I felt more reassured after that but my anxieties just came back. The worst part will be that at some point I will feel like I 'wake up' and this big horrible bubble of pressure will suddenly be gone for another day. On my good days I keep telling myself it's getting better and deep down I know it is. But on these bad days I just feel so useless and hate how little control I have. I then panic more because I know I'm being a bad friend, a bad employee and just a useless person all up really. I want to hide from it all but that won't fix anything. What do you do on these days?
