I can’t stop crying

I want this feeling to go away so bad. I truly don’t want to spend any more time down like this. I tried to go to work and I cried throughout most of my shift and now I have school and I just feel like I can’t compose myself. I have a massive exam tomorrow and I can’t stop worrying about everything that could possibly happen and everything that is going on in my personal life, which is just super overwhelming. I feel like there’s no hope and I’m just a massive problem to everyone I’m around. I want more help so bad, but my family prohibits me from any mental health help. I don’t know what to do.

I want to let you know, you are NOT a problem to everyone around you, it seems like you are under so much stress and I know how that can feel. And It’s hard having access to no mental health help. My advice would be to take some of your free time, (If you have any) and do something you enjoy, to take your mind of the exams and work. It seems like you are overwhelmed about the future, but the thing is, no one can predict the future, so I want you to take some time to enjoy and relax, to take your mind of the future, and to feel like your in the present :) You got this!!

Try taking it one second at time, you've made through all the tough times so far , I know it sucks right now with multiple big stressors. Maybe talking to some friends or other loved ones about therapy options. Try being gentle to your self because your doing the best you can

@ianrix My best friend who I share all my feelings with is in a different country with a big time difference for a month, and we would talk every day. She’s super busy and that’s also been impacting me because I continuously feel as though I’m taking her away from better things if I want to text or call. I just keep feeling like she’s going to get annoyed by me even though she’s been completely understanding and helpful. I can’t stop the worries. Whenever else I’ve tried to speak up to friends I get worried and cant do it. Do you have any advice?

@LRW I would try to asking for helpand facing the fear of annoying your friends head on. That way you'll work on facing the compulsion and taking another important step forward getting the help you want! You got this!

You got this. I understand these feelings of hopelessness, being a “problem” or a burden but I want you to know that you’re not. You are not alone and will get through this. Sometimes we just have to walk through it so we can become stronger in the end. Please update us if your sessions help. Feel free to share this with your therapists too♥️. I believe in you.

@Anonymous Has there been anything that has helped you? The only time I have not had any triggers is when I’m with friends actively doing something or distracting my mind. However, whenever I have been alone I will break down and cannot shut my brain off.
