I feel like I’m suffocating. I’m not making any plans, but the thought of having to wake up tomorrow is frightening me.

I disagree with your friend. If you struggle with mental illness of your own, then you are uniquely qualified to help people with the necessary training. The fact is that normies do not, can not, and will not ever understand what it’s like to have someone in your head trying to kill you. Your own experience equips you with the ability to treat patients with empathy, and the importance of empathy in a healing relationship cannot be overstated.

Not the best today. After waking up too early with shockingly sore eyes, I had the palaver of meetings in different places and running around the city. I could barely focus at all in my last 2 meetings and don't know if I was able to mask my state sufficiently. Time will tell. As part of the day's work I met my new manager (because my old one is retiring). There is no way she can replace him. I came away feeling shocked, upset and like my integrity had been picked apart to look for errors on my part. And this is someone who's supposed to support me. FFS. I'm just completely mindless right now with whatever my stupid sleep patterns are doing. I'm getting some sleep but it's not refreshing and I feel dazed most of the day. I swear I have tinnitus as well. Won't be long out of bed.

That doesn't sound like a very healthy relationship. Are you sure it's worth it? Sending hugs.

We all have problems that are unbearable at times. She's fine now so I don't see an issue.

I feel that way too. It’s so hard to tell anyone about what’s going on because of worry that it could be too heavy to put on them. I mentioned this to my friend last night. I said that I was really emotional over the weekend and I didn’t call because it might be too much to deal with.

He said that no, that’s what friends are for and it’s okay. Which, if I consider the reverse situation, then I would definitely want to be there for him.

Of course I can’t say if that’s true for your contacts. If there is someone you can trust, it is possible to ask ahead of time, like, “hey I am dealing with something serious, but I don’t want to burden you if there’s already too much on your plate.” That gives them the choice, and I doubt they would say no, because it is the nature of human beings to want to help each other.

I don’t have contacts except the few I’ve established here. I have no reason to mistrust them, but the appeal of offloading my anguish onto friends has worn thin over the years. I sound, at least to myself, like a broken record; it’s frustrating trying to convey the same feelings in different ways in an attempt to at least keep it interesting. Anyway, it’s not like I vent for anyone’s entertainment, but when nothing changes in the long-term, it just seems like a waste of time and energy.

Caught up in too much bad news - the world is overwhelmed with pain and suffering and even though it's not possible, I wish it weren't like this.

hugs to anyone who needs them

Feeling the same way, wishing I could "do more" to help all who are suffering.

Thank you for the hugs, they are definitely needed by me right now.

Hugs back to you if you are wanting them too, and also hugs to everyone else who wants them

 

[Windhover]

Yes, thank you, they help a lot. Have a good night @JMG .

Better today. Amazing what 9 hours' sleep can change. Still some stresses. Trains were on strike today so I got the bus to city with no issue. I left at 2pm and thought I'd be OK with the bus back, but by 2.20pm I was still waiting and the hordes were building up. So I calmly went and got a cab and was home by 2.40pm. Figured if trains are on strike, it counts as an out of ordinary expense and now I don't buy the monthly bus pass any more I'm saving quite a bit of money.
