My Brain Feels Like a Revolving Door

Post by LookingForSafety »

Don't know what to write, but I do know that connecting with others would feel good. Though I have struggles with anxiety and depression, I feel like the things I'm struggling most with right now are interpersonal. I don't have BPD, but I relate really strongly with 4 of the symptoms: fear of abandonment, unstable self-image, mood swings, feelings of worthlessness. Feels bad enough to have 4 of them, can't imagine how it must feel to have even more. I so wish I could do a better job of connecting with people. I'm married and feel way too emotionally dependent on my husband. I'm in therapy, but still, so hard to imagine things feeling/being different. Thanks for listening, and I'm sending hellos and sighs of understanding to all who are struggling out there tonight.

Write whatever you like, it's a great exercise to attempt to articulate the avalanches of thoughts and feelings.
My own personal theory is that anxiety and depression is tied to an inability or inhibition of experessing oneself.

Living in a world where anything but a mentally healthy person is considered worth someone's time is hard, but appreciate the fact that by meeting people you will find others that have had similar experiences: go to places where no one knows you and try to find those people, don't restrict this to an online forum, go to a local pub or a public class you've been itching to try out.

Best of luck from England
