My mental stability has rapidly declined in the last couple days. I feel like I'm failing at every "adult" aspect in my life. My closest friends are busy today and all my roomates work tonight. I'm scared to be alone with my thoughts.

You will get through this. Even if you lay down tonight and do absolutely nothing, remember that you are ok and safe. Your mind is telling you that you can’t keep going, but it’s all distorted thinking. Sending positive and peaceful vibes your way.

It could be your feeling of failing at "adult" aspects is because your inner child just wanting to come out and visit for a bit. It's ok to immerse in a little self-adolescent behavior from time to time.
It sounds like it could be a wonderful "Me" time situation with double fudge chocolate ice-cream, popcorn, Pajamas, a mountain of pillows, and a favorite movie. And Like Scaredandafraid said. you got other friends just a keystroke away. Love

There’s an old saying that dreams are only dreams. They don’t mean anything. Then sometime in the past that thought changed and dreams where being interpreted as manifestations of ones thoughts. Even ones fears or anticipations. A thought is only a thought. It doesn’t become anything until acted upon. The good thing is we can always think about something else. Yes I know easier said than done. I can’t shut my mind off either, but I can distract it and usually forget I was feeling bad for a while. A funny video or some music. Even coming on here and asking for or offering advice. We have the power to change our thoughts, we may not always feel we can but we definitely can. Hang in there, for tomorrow is a gift and it just might be a surprisingly good day.

Hello DancingDolly, am sorry you to hear what you are going through right now. I can understand how you are feeling. Keep hope alive. You are such a precious and strong woman. If you have survived it up till now, then you have got what it takes to deal with it. I know it can be overwhelming sometimes but you can do this. When you are alone you can find a movie to watch or a game that can distract you a bit. Stay positive and may be write inspirational quote that will motivate you. YouTube has some great messages. Sending prayers and hugs your way. Have a blessed weekend.

    It's National Doughnut Day!Which three would you like? (never mind the calories, fat, or sugar content; just go with what you would pick if none of that mattered and whatever health issues you might have that would keep you from eating one in real life can be cast aside for this exercise as well... have at it!)
