New here, anxiety, depression, paranoia

chamberkid August 30th, 2021

Hi don't really know what to say here, I'm not good at talking to people, I tell myself that I prefer to be on my own, enjoy the quiet but I know it's not healthy, I get so lonely and so used to the solitude that my anxiety is through the roof, I struggle to go outside, to talk to people, can never maintain eye contact which then just feeds into my paranoia that people think I'm a weirdo. I don't know what I want or expect from this I'm just so tired of feeling this way, I constantly berate myself, I'm trying so hard not to just give up but there is nothing left of me anymore, no passions, no joy, no motivation, I just feel like a hollow mess with this swirling stream of voices and hate and fear spewing around in my head. I am so lost I don't know what to do

Hi, I'm so sorry that you are going through this. It sounds so difficult . Know that you are not alone and your feelings are valid. It sounds like you're pretty hard on yourself. Even though it can be difficult, being kind and patient with yourself and recognizing all that you are doing can be helpful. Know that even though these negative feelings may feel permanent, it won't last forever. Things will get better. You are never alone.

Take care!
