In summary, I am paralyzed by (self diagnosed) depression and anxiety. I'm not sleeping, I'm barely eating, I'm crying all the time. I'm losing the energy to take care of myself. I can hardly keep this contained and if my boss catches my crying at work again I could lose my job.
I need help but I don't have anyone to help me. The soonest doctor's apt I can get is a month away. And that apt is just for a referral to a specialist which I imagine I'll have to wait another couple months for an apt.
I've never been able to talk to my parents about mental health concerns, as they're more the "tough it up buttercup" or call you crazy type. My friends have their own lives with young families or budding careers. I have friends that will listen to me vent but it's not enough.
I'm falling completely apart and would just like to lean on someone until I can get back on my feet but I don't know how. God, I just feel so fragile and I would benefit so much from someone by my side to do simple things until I feel strong enough to do them on my own again.
Is this too much to ask or hope for?? What do I do???
