I just made an account on this site and I guess I did it because I've been trying to get through my anxiety and depression for a long time but the thing that really gets to me is the loneliness. There are people who really care about me but I don't want to overburden them. Right now I'm dealing with the end of a relationship, which I know is far less significant than what a lot of people on this site are dealing with, but I these things can be sort of debilitating for me (abandonment and separation anxiety?) and one of the things that has helped me get through this is feeling like I'm not so alone. I feel so scared and lost right now, and I'm worried about not being able to function like a normal adult. I wish it was easier for me to cope. What scares me is that I wake up panicking. I feel like I don't have anything to look forward to, and I feel so lost and alone.

Welcome Serena and don't be ashamed of what you deal with we all have some type issue with loneliness but you have to stay positive and be around people who are positive it's hard to do at times trust me I know, my loneliness kept me around a female that was a user and no good for me until I realized I needed to make a change

Welcome to PC. You are not alone.
Ending relationships are the hardest thing and often trigger depression and anxiety. Forget all about that being a burden stuff and reach out to the ones who care about you. They can handle it and would want you to reach out. I have had to reach out to my family and although it is difficult for them they have really helped me. They have learned much about depression and the best ways to help. they are very understanding. They wanted me to reach out to them.

Thank you for your kind responses. Sometimes it feels a little overwhelming to look at all the posts and threads and see how much everyone is struggling. Right now I feel a lot more stable, but I'm scared of how I'll feel in the morning. Sometimes the anxiety is so bad that I'm scared to get out of bed. People keep telling me that it'll get better and sometimes it feels that way but it's so difficult when it feels like I'm trying to dig out a part of myself. I'm trying to reach out to people but I really don't want to be overwhelming for them. I feel like I can't function fully as an adult and that really upsets me because usually I want to be the person that's there for my friends.

Sometimes we need support outside of our family and friends so we are not dumping it all on them. Like professional help and depression support groups and the like. maybe meds and therapy.

It's so awful because I am back on campus now and I know he's around and I'm scared of running into him (part of me wants to run into him) and I feel like I'm falling apart. It was easier when I was with my parents and far away from where everything happened but I don't feel safe now. I know that I sound whiny because my life could be a lot worse. I wish these things didn't make me feel so non-functional. I feel like I'm paralyzed.
