Lost 😣

I'm stuck in a horrible place that scares me. I'm on antidepressants and have been for 12 months and I feel they mostly work until I get moments like one I'm going through now. My partner puts added stresses on me but not on purpose but when he feels lost and doesn't want to chat to me I go into a horrible spiral thinking the worst and my anxiety goes through the roof.

I feel I have no one to talk to and am to embarrassed to talk to the limited mates I have. They don't understand me and tell me to get over it. I just need calming and reassurance techniques to help get me through.

I'm m currently in tears sick to my stomach because I can't switch off my thoughts. I'm going insane! I need help! Make it stop

@heartfulMusic18

thankyou. It's still so embarrassing talking to people I know even after almost 10 years of trying to battle myself. I'm my own worst enemy I know. I'll read the links provided. Thanks for taking time to care

Anytime. I understand it is difficult to open up to others..sometimes more so with those we know. I guess that is the good part about the anonymity here, I hope it will give you the comfort to open up. We are our worst enemies for sure, but this means we could be our best friends too, right? I hope the links help. Please do reach out whenever you need to.
