I feel like the walls are caving in on me. I can’t breath but I also can’t. I wish I had someone to talk to but I feel like I can talk to no one. I feel held down by my stress and being so overwhelmed. Yet I can’t bring myself to do anything about it. I struggle to get up in the morning because I feel as thouhg when I get up still no one sees me. When I look in the mirror I don’t know the person staring back at me. I don’t know what to do with myself anymore. I come off as the happiest person yu will ever when really I don’t feel happy or sad. I just feel numb and lost.
Hey there it is okay to feel down sometimes. No one feels super amazing all the time. We are meant to balance emotions and feelings throughout our days and weeks. Most everyone goes through confused feelings of who they are as well. A lot of people look in the mirror sometimes and wonder who they are. A key is to be an explorer and take small steps while experimenting with life. Everyone has different likes/ dislikes and you should look for what you like/ dislike, and then do more of what you like. One of the strongest factors anyone has in feeling better in their life is social support. Always seek appropriate social support from people you can trust. Trusted friends, family members, and therapists are always great people to connect with. Lastly, most people walk around and seem “happy” when they are really experiencing stress, adversity, or pain. It feels really good to open up in appropriate settings with trustworthy people. A lot of times people will reply with a similar response about stress and confusion they are going through. Keep your head up and stay positive. It will all get better.
