Alone, Stranded, and Bankrupt!
Hello everyone, I’m new here. I’m posting this thread because I feel like I’m going crazy! I live alone in a large house on 2-1/2 acres, in the woods. I have four vehicles that don’t run. I’m going through bankruptcy and living on snap benefits. I have less than two months to find a place to live, and pack up, transport, and store my belongings, as well as sell three of the four cars. Being this overwhelmed, stressed out, and lonely combined, has put me in a constant state of panic!!! I’m not a tech savvy guy, and I’ve got multiple attorneys and a realtor wanting a ton of information from me, in ways that I can’t provide. My WiFi and cable were shut off months ago, and I’m struggling to keep my cellular service. I’m doing my best to scan, PDF, file, and use a digital signature. I’m literally having to have Gemini Ai teach me how to do this stuff as I go! This past Wednesday morning I received some Emergency alerted emails that completely threw me over the edge. I’ve been completely paralyzed ever since. I can’t answer the phone, I can’t look at emails, I can barely force myself to cook, and I lye in bed with my eyes closed, but can’t fall asleep. It’s currently Sunday evening, and the anxiety of being bombarded by these people is building. The worst part of my anxiety is, it feels like a a large magnet is trying to pull my face off!!! So, there’s all that going on but, I feel like the loneliness aspect is in the Danger Zone!!! I have some credit left on my Uber account. I think I’m gonna Uber to the sports bar down the road from me. I haven’t walked into a bar in years, and I might end up being too anxious and intimidated to speak to anyone, but I just Have To Get Out Of Here! The only place I’ve been to in the past two months, is the grocery store 🥺 I’m desperate for human interaction! Does anyone have any advice on what to do about this situation???🙏🙏🙏
@HelpMeSmile26 first of all thank you for sharing! I can relate to being so overwhelmed and not being able to take action! Sometimes box breath work helps me when I'm totally not ok. . . Breathe in through your nose to the count of 4 hold for 4 out through the mouth for 4 and hold again for 4. Just doing a 60 second cycle of this will help reset the nervous system an calm down mental overwhelm. Also another really good one is the double quick exhale... in though your nose twice fast then out through the mouth nice slow deep breath ... I'm sorry things are so hard right now, remember that you're not alone and try to catch your breath. One step at a time friend you got this!!! Keep going you're going to make it ✨

Loneliness is the absolute worst! I know because I am enduring it as well. Please find people to interact with. But make sure you don't fall into a worse situation by befriending addicts like I did. My life became much worse because I want careful about who I talked to. I hope it gets better. It will if you find a person to talk to who won't judge you.
