Damned if you do, damned if you don’t

People say "open up about your problems"

I do

Then it's "ok this is a lot you should see a therapist" or "just have confidence in yourself" or "I'm gonna back away" and the responses stop

But then if I don't open up it's

"What happened we're worried about you" and "I'd like for you to open up"

So if I open up it's a problem. If I don't it's also a problem

Maybe if I commit suicide people will shut up

Yeah, no one was ever able to help me in a meaningful way even with good intentions. And meds aka "therapy" left me crippled.

It is a lost cause.

The reality is most people aren't in a position to help you.

Best options -

1) Professional help
2) Do your own research
3) Final communities that deal with your particular problems.

I agree

The issue I'm finding with friends is that, maybe I can't have friends.

I'm "too much" so I can only be around mental health professionals

You may simply not be in a state when you can be fun to be around or in a state where you can enjoy being around others.

Just focus on yourself for now, spend time on the forum if it helps and other forums.

Research your issues, find solutions, get professional help.

I'm already in therapy. I see my psych on Monday (medication)

Tho when I get like this I can't talk to anyone because I'm too much and too problematic
