Do you have anyone that you can just spend time with without judgment? Mother, father, a sibling, etc.?
You don't have to be good enough for anyone except yourself. So work on that first, that's my advice.

My problem is, I don't even feel good enough for myself... Dance and kids make me happy usually, but at random hours of the night, I can't really dance, and kids are in bed... I still live at home with my parents (I'm 19), so whatever I do to calm down has to be quiet in my bedroom... And they don't understand that when I say I want to do ____ when I freak out, it's not just because... They always just say "just don't freak out and you won't have that problem" (please refer to the picture above for how those conversations usually go)...
Usually I go to my dance teacher for those moments, but I can't after 9:30, so I kind of get stuck in this world of just feeling too much and being trapped with nowhere to go and nothing to do..
