Giving Up
I have always been quite a positive person who could manage their feelings. However, recently life has been getting progressively worse and is becoming unbearable. I don’t want to talk to family or friends… I know they wouldn’t mind… but I don’t want them to worry about me. I get no joy from my life any more and I am worried that I am going to give up

Hey, thanks for sharing. I know that feeling of not wanting to worry people I care about by telling them about what I go through. However, I've found that the pain of keeping negative emotions bottled up inside me is much worse than the support I receive after opening up about myself to others. If anything, people are more likely to worry if you don't share anything about yourself than if you tell them what's going on. Sharing your emotions and experiences with those you care about helps them learn more about you and enables them to give you more support.
I'm sorry to hear that things have been tough recently; I hope you find the relief and support you need soon. You got this; don't give up! :)
@magslynch9 there is no way you will give up! I feel similar to you, I have good friends, but when I need to talk, I am going in my head through all of them, and thinking, nooo...But I know they do care about me. Please try to find that one person, and maybe have a chat over coffee?And talk about anything you want, silly things, and things which bothers you. Just try to take that small step. People DO CARE.
@magslynch9 Hey I know life is really hard I struggle a lot with stuff but you are loved and I'm sure the best thing to do is keep trying and remember your doing amazing. Keep going you've got this.💝
