Don't Know What To Do
Anxiety Support / by pinkThinker6194
Last post
 April 13th, 2018
...See more I am struggling really hard with anxiety and severe depression. It has taken over my life and I can't find any joy or hope in anything. My family and close friends know about it, but they think I'm doing ok. In reality, I'm getting so much worse that I hardly get 4 hours of sleep every night because of my anxiety and I can't focus on anything while I can't find reasons to wake up in the morning anymore and feel like just giving up. Anytime people think I'm working on school stuff, I'm either having anxiety attacks, crying, or just lying on the floor feeling like a worthless piece of trash. I'm hopeless. I don't know what to do or how to cope anymore.
Am I Too Broken?
Self-Harm Recovery / by pinkThinker6194

...See more I really want to know: Am I too broken? I joined 7cups wanting to talk to an anonymous listener, which I did. I found 2 particular listeners I clicked with really well and became a pretty good friend with one. But that was for my depression and anxiety. Anytime I would bring up my self-harm, anytime I sought help from a listener or, they just asked if I wasn't dying or something and showed me the door to a suicide prevention hotline. Right now, it feels like I don't have anybody to talk to about my self-harm besides this community. I haven't opened up about anything about my anxiety or self-harm because of two reasons: 1- I'm so ashamed of it and 2- I am too scared to try. It makes me think that I am so broken beyond repair and honestly, makes me hurt more because I feel so guilty about it. I want to start recovering. I really do. It sounds so selfish to say, but I don't have anybody or anything to help- anytime I try to get support, they all just say that it's too serious for them, go to a professional, or that I shouldn't go to them because self-harm is a sign that I want to commit suicide.
