I don’t even know how I’ve withstood it all so far. I keep thinking it’s gonna be some little thing and I’m just going to totally lose it. Right now it’s almost as if I’m at a distance watching everything happen going “ok, that’s interesting. Oh, yes, that’s weird.”

You have a lot going on and I think you need to give yourself credit for handling it so well.
If I were you,
I’d just have a little freakout alone in my apartment.
Cry, journal, talk to yourself, do what you need to to get it out.
That usually gets me back to normalish.

I’m a little afraid to to try and let it out, like a pressure cooker

All the more reason to have a controlled freakout.
You need to let it all go.

One step at a time. Sorry your struggling but tomorrow is another day. Look out for your health and deal with what you can and realistically do.

Have you tried deep breathing or aroma theapy? I recon talk therapy would be the main help but breathing can help you calm down and maybe a friend or someone could play therapist if you dont have one.

Things will calm down soon. I had a rough few months with everything happening at once and I thought I’d end up in hospital before it was all over. But I didn’t.
You’ll be the same, things will slow down soon, and you’ll be a stronger person for having coped with it all.

I’m trying much too hard. I lose it every few days. At least I lose it alone. I had trouble the other day at the bank. I think I can go about my business in public while losing it. People don’t know what a mentally ill person looks like. They think it must be something at home.

I thought I was on Say Anything and typed out an extremely long and unrelated post.
It took me a minute to realize my mistake.
Sorry, Leafy!!
@Leaf I totally understand. My life is a series of unfortunate events. It is one thing after another. And when you reach a certain point, even the tiniest thing can make you feel like falling apart.
@Charles_Foster is right, tou need to vent and have a controlled freak out. Cry. Yell. Punch some pillows. Throw something. Just be careful not to hurt yourself while doing so.

I agree with @Charles_Foster and @anon4362788 . You need to let yourself feel, and to express how you feel in a safe environment. You can do that at home.

@anon4362788 and @LilyoftheValley I hear you. I will try. I see the value in letting off steam. Sometimes when I’m going through something tough I just power through and then make sure I get through it and once everything calms down I have me a little breakdown.

I understand that. Just don’t be hard on yourself if you need to let go and get it all out. It’s actually healthy to express your emotions as long as it doesn’t harm you or others. Be good to yourself
