I'm lost

this post may be pointless but right now I'm stuck , I'm lost and I don't know what to do . I'm obsessed with issues that happen and I cannot sleep or think , I can't cover up my anxiety or my emotions . I wish that I could ... that I could live a day without crying and breaking down ... I wish there wasn't a day when I questioned my existence . I think about what I have and then again is it worth it .. I'm miserable , there's good and bad days but negative seems to be over powering the positive and I have no clue what to do with my life ...

It doesnt have to be this way. Do you have a counselor and a psychiatrist? They can help you feel better. I have bipolar disorder which brings me a lot of depression at times. In those dark times i leaned heavily on my counselor. crisis lines are also helpful. It helps to talk to someone who doesnt know me. It sadddens me to read how you are suffering. it doesnt have to be this way

What happens when you go to a psychiatrist? Who talks first? What if you can't think of what to say? I feel sad and lonely a lot, I live alone and I'm ok with that but sometimes I don't have the strength to even get in the shower. I don't know what I am afraid of. I've had many losses in my life, I am a widow. Does anyone feel afraid all the time, and just not know how to handle it?

First off, I'm so sorry to hear that you feel this way. Anxiety has a way of taking your breath away then just spinning you out. Second, the way that you're feeling is extremely hard to deal with, but ignoring your feelings is cheating yourself. Acknowledge the anxiety. Let it know you see it and you know it's there. Try writing in a journal? Nothing in specific just start writing how you feel and see what all comes out. I would sometimes end up with 5-10 pages not even realizing how much I had on my mind and when I was finished I felt a bit lighter.

Not a cure by any chance, but that's something I found useful. Lack of sleep will also make your anxious feelings more intense most times, which in turn make it even more difficult to sleep. Maybe try and create a bed time routine for yourself to relax best you can. I hope I was of some help, everyone on this site is rooting for you! Take care my friend.

    Once again I've had a fever today. I'm not going to the hospital because that's a huge waste of time but I did schedule a dr appointment for Wednesday afternoon.
