I'm enjoying a beautiful weekend with 3 people I really like at a lovely house by the shore
but half an hour ago I had to excuse myself, hide for a good 20 minutes and cry/freak out OVER NOTHING. I literally couldn't think of one thing but I felt this overwhelming wave of helplessness, failure, guilt and dread. I just feel like I can't tell anyone, I don't want to seem dramatic or weak. but everyone noticed and now I'm feeling very agitated but I can't be by myself and let it run its course without raising suspicion. HELP!

The overwhelming wave of helplessness, failure, guilt and dread is due to the imbalance of our brain chemicals. I often feel in the evenings I don't know what to do with myself, that my life is not worth anything, I'm poor, guilt that I'm not contributing to society in spite of my possession of a college degree in Psychology, no less. In the end, I look for something funny, or draw or read something so keep me distracted until the feeling lifts or just go to sleep.
I'm always better when I am rested. Hope you're feeling better. Take care.
