Everything is spiralling out of control.

For the last couple of months, I have been trying to pretend everything is okay as everything around me feels like it is taking over and overwhelming me. I want a job but I am too scared of rejection, so I can not even apply. I sit at home feeling worse and worse, agreeing to help others even when it is starting to become too much because I don't want to let anyone down. It's all so draining.

Hey North! I understand how hard it can be when everything gets so overwhelming. I'm sorry to hear that you've had to pretend like everything was okay when it really isn't, that's one of the hardest things to do. The fear of rejection is really hard to deal with and stops us from doing many things, I get how difficult it must be for you to try and apply when that fear is in your mind. Agreeing to help others even though it's too much for you can definitely get so draining. I just want you to remember that self-care is so important, thinking about yourself and giving yourself the break you need is crucial. I hope that you'll be able to take the time you need to be able to feel better and less overwhelmed <3
