Thats ok, what do you think would help? What normally helps @Lee82

Hey @oceangirl 👋
Maybe you could offer some suggestions?

[Lee82]

I'm so sorry I feel like I'm wasting your time. I feel terrible and guilty

[Lee82]

I don't know what helps. I'm sorry. Usually I just give in and self harm. My head is spinning out of control. I have so many things in my head I can't concentrate properly on anything. I'm pacing up and down the house.

Try breathing and you walk @Lee82 or if you feel like it try doing some star jumps to release some of that nervous energy..

Welcome to the forum @Lee82  

We are supportive and friendly bunch of people here

I hear you, and want to let you know what you're feeling is normal

Are you able to make yourself a drink and or eat something too - it may make you feel better and to take a shower and then think about getting some rest for the night. And perhaps write a plan for tomorrow- one thing at a time.

Are you me?  🙊

I relate so much to how you've expressed yourself.  Although, instead of pacing I tend to lie in bed feeling as if my head is going to simultaneously implode and explode.  Sending you a virtual hug. 

I'm about to go to sleep but I'll touch base tomorrow.  Thank you for posting, you've made me feel less alone 😊

[Lee82]

Thank you @Butterfly13 . It is nice to know I'm not some sort of alien or crazy person. 

[Lee82]

Thank you for connecting @oceangirl I feel too sick to eat or drink anything and I can't sleep I am way too anxious and out of control. I'm sorry I feel like I am dismissing all your ideas. I really don't mean to. I really appreciate the support. I haven't had anyone to talk to about this stuff for a very very very long time

Your welcome @Lee82  

I'm sorry you're struggling. Is there anything that helped in the past?
