Having trouble reaching out

I am so anxious to reach out for any help any more. I don’t know what to say and I know they wouldn’t know what to say or do any way. I don’t wanna waste anyone’s time. Trying to self sooth isn’t always working. But at least I feel more independent ?

I think I’m in a similar situation.

The only non medical person I could realistically reach out to would be my younger brother. But he really doesn’t care. So that would obviously be a waste of time!

The only thing my psychiatrist can do is increase or decrease my dose. And I’m stable so I don’t want any changes there.

And scarily I don’t have anyone else !

We all need support. But at the end of the day - you got to learn to rely on yourself. No one knows you better - than you. Yes - find your support network and utilise it, but you got to have some faith in yourself.

You’re not wasting anyone’s time. Life is give and take. God knows you’ve given a lot to others in your life, don’t be afraid if you need a little help. It’s a sign of humility. You’re gonna be alright @Moon but please don’t isolate. No man is an island.
