I just have the hardest time functioning. I don’t enjoy socializing, it makes me panic and I hate it. This is acutely worse right now after a recent separation in which I lost a stepkid relationship too. Don’t know how to explain how much it took out of me to establish those relationships and how emotionally exhausted I am now knowing they failed. Don’t think I can do any of this ever again. I’m tired of trying.
Hello everyone, I have experienced mental illness before, and I also work as a social worker, so I thought I was reasonably acquainted with mental illness, but as of late I have had symptoms beyond what I can manage.
I cry - actually sob - multiple times per day. I try to talk and don’t make sense to others. I lose track of facts and small details. I’m working far under my capacity and education, not even 30 hours per week, yet I’m exhausted and burnt out all of the time. I have no desire and no interests. I don’t even want to nap sometimes.
I feel like I have actually lost my mind, and like I can’t move on. Any advice?
