One thing I don't know about is how mental health services are provided in Japan. But it strikes me that perhaps what might help is to have someone (a counselor of some sort or a mental health therapist) with whom you can talk all of this through & work out some possible solutions to your situation a bit at a time... (possibly including some psychiatric medication if you're struggling with anxiety & paranoia?) Obviously I don't really know. I'm just throwing out random thoughts here.


One of the problems that can sometimes come up is that we look at our situation as a whole & just become paralyzed by the enormity of it. But if you can break it down into smaller manageable bites & work on those one at a time then you can begin to make progress toward resolving the situation you're in as a whole. At least these are my thoughts with regard to your post.


Here's a link to an article, from PC's archives, that talks about how to get unstuck:


How to Get Unstuck: 7 Really Useful Methods


Best wishes...


My dear friend, I thank you from the bottom of my heart for your kind response is very insightful and very understanding of my situation. Many of your comments are accurate, I feel paralyzed by everything that looks like an enormity. I m afraid of dying and afraid of living. Is this hell? . They have taking my children away from me and that has broken me shattered my soul. And I feel guilty and worthless to live. I take meds and I have a councilor. Is just that it takes so much time for me to internalize for that to make me feel a bit cured friend. Japan is cold society to foreigners.
