I wonder if you're alone at the moment or around other people?
We're all here for you.
I’m alone
@Redemption Hey bro, do you want to get it all of your chest?
@DonnerKebab thanks so much, I wasn’t expecting anyone to reply. A warehouse job called me this evening after sending a message on Indeed asking me to call them. I tried a couple of times with no answer, but they eventually called back and gave me some details. It’s a 12-hour shift, and while I do want a job, it feels like too much to go from being out of work straight into something that intense. At the same time, I feel guilty and lazy for thinking that way, and it's left me feeling overwhelmed and overthinking everything. Lately, my overthinking has really been affecting me. Even though the responsibilities aren’t on me like they used to be, I still feel overwhelmed and can’t sleep. I’ve been taking ashwagandha to help with stress and sleep, and it has helped before, but now I feel like I’m too stressed and overwhelmed for even that to make a difference. The chat today helped unwind but Im just here tossing and turning with my duvet off trying to sleep, Im bugging out.
Im here to talk for you too bro, I saw on chats you have said a few times you're just surviving and that doesn't sound good, we are all here for you. I know something happened but you said you are getting that all sorted. I still think other services can be helpful here

These are good, I have a supporter who's amazing, I think you tell a supervisor you issues and they arranged you a chat with someone
just to clarify calm don’t only support ppl who are suicidal. you can reach out to them if you’ve lost someone to suicide or just going through a tough time in general.
i have spoken to them and it’s not just when im suicidal etc and they’re fine with it.
@eylah they normally tell me that they can't support me as I'm not suicidal or lost anyone etc. I guess I can try to speak to them. Hope you're ok anyway ❤️
oh ok.. hope you’re ok!
@eylah Ive been really overwhelmed and not had much sleep, should be able to come on the day time support chat which should help, what about you?
I've phoned up doxs today they put the phone down on me. So I emailed now theybe booked me an appt in a month for bloods. I dont know why I felt this way though??
Ughhh sounds horrible @Invisible_me I remember a bit of a while ago that you said you felt dizzy and I think you said it went better. How often do you get it? You don't need to say just thinking maybe its stress or an occasional thing getting dizzy.
Yeah it did get better but thrn fekt it bad suddenly yesterday. I was at work as well and I couldn't carry out my duties. Luckily they were okay with me being in time out and did a bit of admin but that's it. I'm scared like why did I feel that way and now work, ill so lose the job.
Please know that NHS 111 is here for you if you do feel dizzy and would like some medical support, or your GP also.
