You're never pestering people by reaching out for help, whether it's people you know or complete strangers. It's good that you've made the decision not to go through this alone. I know it can be tough to talk about what's going on with you with the people closest to you, as their reactions at times are not ideal because they're not experienced with this sort of thing. I, too, don't often ask my family for help, regardless of whether I'm depressed, anxious, crying, or what have you, because I already know the responses I'm going to get. We here care about you, though, and you can express yourself freely on SF. It's a good place to make friends with people all over the world who are also struggling. You're not alone in this. I hope things get better for you.

hi @jaffacakejay welcome to SF. I'm glad you are here.
It's difficult to start talking about things but here you are safe to talk if you'd like. We're a supportive and affirming group of all sorts of different kind of people.

By the way, I also have night terrors, sorry to hear you have them. Lately I've had a respite which I hope you also can get - because they are tiring and make anxiety worse.
