Can anyone talk to me?
Hey. I’ve been feeling pretty messed up mentally for the past few months and I honestly don’t really know what’s going on with me anymore.
It’s not just “being sad.” My emotions come in waves and sometimes they get really intense. A few times it got bad enough that it genuinely scared me. I’m safe right now, but I still feel unstable sometimes and like the thoughts are always somewhere in the background.
Most of the time lately I just feel heavy, tired, numb, overwhelmed, and unmotivated. Even simple things feel exhausting sometimes. School stress hits me really hard too, especially math tests. It’s not even that I don’t know how to solve things — my brain just kind of shuts down from stress and I give up halfway through.
I also tend to tell people I’m “fine” even when I’m not because I don’t know how to explain any of this properly without feeling dramatic or confusing people.
I guess I just want someone to talk to who won’t immediately dismiss it or act like I’m overreacting.
heyyy, you’re not dramatic for feeling like this. a lot of people act “fine” because they don’t know how to explain what’s going on in their head without feeling like a burden. and the whole brain shutting down from stress thing is so real too. i’m glad you said something instead of keeping it all in. i hope you know you deserve people who will actually listen and care. if you want to talk to me, even just to vent, I'm available<3

Sounds like my youth. The roller coaster of emotions can get scary and overwhelming. I'm here if you need to talk. Your story reminds me of my own.
You sound stressed best person to talk to is school therapist if they have one or school nurse. If you get less than 7 hours sleep you will need more help.
Hey 💙 hope this finds you well
You can definitely reach out to a listener if you want! That’s exactly what we’re here for, so you can have a safe place to talk about anything on your mind, even if it feels dramatic or confusing. I’m (or another listener) here if you want to try it!
I hope you find what you’re looking for 💙
Are you finding the support you need?
Kind of.
I usually am not available for longer online conversations now. I tend to do mostly asynchronous messages cross multiple days. If that is ok with you, then we can talk. I felt similar and see it as real.
