Working when heads is a mess.

How do people cope with working when your head is so loud.
I feel so trapped in my head but also the building. Feel like the walls are caving in and everyone and everything around me is a blur.
My body is walking around whilst my mind is somewhere else.
I'm so disorientated. My normal routine has turn in to a why am I in this room. What am I doing here. What was I meant to be doing. Please don't talk to me. When they do it's just noise. Nothing Is going in so I try and hide. Hide away but when working you can't do that. You've got to face everything.
Same time without work I'm even more than the nothing I feel I already am.

#darkplace #Depression #Cantcope

I have felt like this longer than I want to admit. My friends are telling me that I need to find myself in order to stop feeling down and depressed. I know where finding myself is going to take me and they aren’t going to like it. Sorry for everything I’ve done but I’m going to go and be me now. Survive the darkness!!

Lost for Words #Anxiety #PanicAttack #Loss

I don't even know where to begin with how I feel. I don't even know if I can describe what I'm feeling. An 18yr relationship destroyed over 2yrs ago by a cheating spouse and a uncaring, ill equipt, immoral, degenerate who had no concern for the fact that not only was he destroying a marriage but more heinously destroying a family. The lack of regard, guided by an "the end justifies the means" mentality by both parties, ripped my soul straight out of me. Over the 2yrs I drowned, I fell back on old addiction coping mechanisms. I made terrible mistakes, but as I was finally starting to stand once more. Finally trying to rejoin life, I find that the so called "man", who at 24, 11yrs younger than her, barely has the life experience to tie his own shoelaces, has moved in to what was once my family mould. To know that he, someone with that sort of moral grounding is now the primary male figure in my children's life!

I can't process. I don't even know how to express what I feel. I don't even know if I can decipher the individual feelings from the chaos that is inside of me. I can't cry. I open my mouth to scream but nothing comes out. I'm not numb but I can't allocate my feelings. To know that he has been accepted and openly taken in and granted a role within what once was my family, spirals my thoughts and it's like I am not encompassed by darkness, but more that I am the darkness

How do I deal with this? #Neurological #Incontinence #Catheter

I have multiple chronic conditions the current combo I’m struggling to deal with is atonic bladder vs functional neurological disorder... managing my self catheterising and when necessary tampon without my neuro symptoms making me make mistakes like.... ending up with two tampons in instead of just self catheterising and other funny but also worrying things like that which when it’s personal care, and risk of infection high how the hell do I get my brain to do things in the right order right place etc etc without the support of anyone?

Feeling lost #Dontwanttobehere #Cantcope

I have suffered greatly with depression and anxiety now for around 10 years. Progressively it’s got worse. And now I’m at the stage where my friend has died, and I don’t know what to do anymore. I am riddled with guilt and grief. I can’t take the pain anymore. #feelingaloneandlost #Grief

Tried to switch to an SSRI again and failed #Anxiety #PanicAttack #PanicDisorder #Cantcope #failure #struggling #Medication

I’m trying to switch to an SSRI so I can wean off my benzo and every time I do, I have really bad side effects that keep me in bed. It’s been 4 days and I’m giving up. I wanted to do this because I want to get pregnant at some point but I’m really scared that now I really truly won’t be able to since this always happens when I try to switch to an SSRI. I’m feeling really sad and defeated. I thought I was strong enough and ready for a change, but I can’t keep putting my body through this. The experience is debilitating and I can’t function. I can’t leave the house, I can’t go to work, I can barely even pick up the phone to let people know I’m ok. I called my Dr today and told him I’m stopping the medication and he agreed that was fine. I am heartbroken. I want to bring a child into this world.
