Help, I dont know what to do
 
Goddess, I cant remember the last time I was this on edge. I've been in the bedroom, teary, for the last 6 hours feeling too overwhelmed to come out, and to exhausted to move, then when I finally came out, thinking I might do the dishes, so I had something to show for the day, within a couple of seconds I was yelling at the cats for meowing at me and crying in the kitchen. I feel very out of control. I have no food in the house, including cat food - I fed them a can of tuna for dinner, and now they are complaining that they have no crunchy food.

I'm crying at silly things, and have no energy whatsoever.
If I had any friends with a couch I would go there until I felt safer being alone, but I don't and I cant and I feel really unstable.
I don't know what to do.

Hey there hun, sorry to hear you're feeling so bad, have you not got anybody you can call up or meet up with just to distract you? Maybe a trip to buy cat food is just what you need, sometimes getting out of the house is a good idea. Hope you feel better soon, lots of hugs Hannah

Is there a small cornershop or similar nearby where you could quickly pop out and get some cat food and something nice to treat yourself. When I am like this and can't be bothered even getting washed and dressed, I find a hat and a long coat works a treat so that I get out, which is generally needed but don't have to expend the extra energy in getting ready - sounds a bit grim I know but does help and that way you have done something constructive when things are so difficult which also seems to help.
Take care.

coat over PJs is great - I do it whenever needed. Can't really add anyhitng to what wildly insane and no reason said, except that I'm really sorry you feel so bad. A little step (which probably feels huge) like the corner shop or managing to call someone could help, if you can get together the energy, then let yourself rest again...

Did you manage to get out of the house? Are you feeling any better today? Sending you lots of hugs, Hannah
