I don't know what to do

[Mentallycollapsed]

I'm waiting for a call back from mental health services but I'm lost. I have c-PTSD and all the associated anxiety, OCD, paranoia and depression. I have been stable for months now but this week I have snapped and today my OCD has become really disturbing. I'm hyper focusing on really horrible articles in the news and have become paranoid I'm going to be next, my OCD has kicked in and it has all meant I've fallen into a hole I can't get out of. I have no one in real life to talk to and if I'm honest I think that's what has triggered this, I have no one, and I rattle around my own thoughts for months at a time with no outlet. Even to bounce something like what to have for dinner off.

I know realistically no one here can help me but I need to offload while I wait for a call that probably won't be returned. I'm terrified.

@Mentallycollapsed I'm here for a chat hun I'm suffering myself at the min I've had a mental breakdown now for about 2 months it's horrible isn't it? Hand hold

First thing, step away from social media and news sites - they never report on good news so what you're seeing is always skewered towards negativity.

Secondly, have a look at the Youtube channel of Tim Box - lots of free and informative short videos (normally about 10 minutes) on every aspect of mental health.

And keep talking to us - what did you decide on for dinner?

@Mentallycollapsed your not on your own. I'm having a bit of a setback with my OCD and anxiety atm also and its totally exhausting. I think also at this time of year there's this expectation to be happy because its CHRISTMAS! .
Life just seems to fast with to much to do when all I really want to do is sleep and wake up with a nice calm clear mind.
I also agree what to have for dinner is a ball ache aswell. Sending love. X

Sorry I didn't reply I've been in survival mode. They didn't ring back and i still don't know what to do for dinner. I feel like if it wasn't so dangerous for me I'd lean into this and let myself go through a complete breakdown, because that's what I think is happening. But if I do then I don't think I'll come out of it.
