Hello everyone. It's been a while. I joined you roughly 5 years ago now and haven't experienced any "major" mental health issues in roughly 3-1/2 years. I even convinced myself that last time was just a phase, that maybe I was going through some hormonal challenges that come with reaching adulthood. Looking back through my old posts even makes me cringe a bit... I've come a long way since then but I feel like I'm right back where I was.
It started about two months ago, there were a few challenges that happened recently, but something I've faced previously (about 2 years ago) without any major problems. I recently made some lateral job changes and moved to a new house, but nothing negative besides some money strains, but that's normal for most adults these days. I find myself constantly worrying about everything, more than normal. Just like my previous episode 4-7 years ago, I have been having a very difficult time trying to find enjoyment in things. Again, I have a hard time imagining a happy, healthy future. And again, I've lost control of coping mechanisms I've since learned to reduce (alcohol) or eliminate (SI). All I can think about now is how I'm going nowhere, I have nothing to look forward to, and that I'm going to lose everything. I can't concentrate at work and my performance has dropped, I've gotten behind on schoolwork and my grades are starting to show it, and I can't even imagine what kind of strain I've put on my boyfriend. I'm just tired of this. I thought it was a bad dream. I feel like I've lost it all, but at the same time, I'm watching myself sabotage everything that "normal" me worked for. I don't have time to get help, but at the same time, if I don't, I will run out of time. I guess I just wanted someone to know. |

I'm sorry you're experiencing this difficulty.
 Hopefully being back here on PC can be of some comfort & support.  You mentioned you recently made a lateral job change & moved to a new house. Changes such as this can be stressful. (Changes don't have to be negative to be stressful.)  Hopefully you have someone, in real life, you can talk with about how you're coping. But then of course posting here on PC, or perhaps participating in the chat rooms, can help too. My best wishes to you...

Hello, NextToNormal.
Any chance you could simplify? Also, just to be on the safe side, are you in a position to see a doctor to "rule out" any illnesses that might also be complicating matters? Wishing you well.

I'm not certain on what you mean by simplify. I haven't consulted a doctor yet. Hospitals stress me out more as I'm sure they do for most people. Besides I've been working some overtime to catch up on bills. I just don't have time.

This is an old thread. You probably should not post your reply to it, as the original poster is unlikely to see it.|
