I wake up in the morning, get ready for work and act like everything is just fine but underneath it's burning, like when I was younger and I shut myself away in my room. I would isolate and not eat for days. When I did go out it was because I had to go to school and even then I would hide away in the bathroom. I was so scared and still am. I don't trust anyone. I have my good days but even then I can't really talk to my partner about what's going on with me and not because I don't want to or she wouldn't listen but because I'm always thinking I would just be a bother or I shouldn't be feeling that so I hide it. Which in the end makes things worse but I can't help it. I don't know where to turn and I can't afford counseling right now. I can barely afford my meds. I'm so stressed with working and all of the responsibilities. I just want to sleep. I don't have any friends. I just don't know where to start. If you know of any self help sites that would help with isolation and positive thinking that might help.

sorry you're feeling like this...

i don't actually know of any isolation sites, but posting here is a good start

i think that maybe you should take it in small steps- ask yourself.. well what is the main reason i isolate?

what could be the worst reaction i can get from people?

then talk to someone... maybe your partner you mentioned- it will be hard to do, but a great start

once she's listened and understood, she could help you as well build your confidence and get you talking to more people
