How do I ask for help?

Since I’ve been in my early teens I’ve had days where I just feel like something’s getting wound up inside me. I just feel so restless but so angry and hopeless I’m almost paralysed by it.
Normally, if I can find something physically exhausting but thoughtless to do as soon as I feel it coming on I’ll be fine. If I can’t do that self harming or doing something destructive helps the twisting feeling but leaves me feeling hollow and still just hopeless and nasty.

I’m pregnant and I know I can’t keep dealing with it this way now I’m going to be a parent. I want to ask for help but I don’t know what I’m actually asking for help with because I don’t know what’s wrong with me

Hi OP, please give your midwife a call and just explain it exactly as you have here. They will be able to signpost you to appropriate help or refer you for support quickly. X

Samaritans are brilliant when you just need to talk and need emotional support. Available 24/7

Another service available 24/7 is Supportiv.com its a chatting platform , group members share their issues and get support from each other and a moderator. Also free and only about 5 or 6 members in each group
