Why can't I just live a normal life?? I've been feeling extremely anxious and extremely depressed lately. Everything is so hard to do, and I can't focus at all. It feels like my brain wasn't built for this life, it's all too overwhelming, it's all too much 
I feel so restless, but also exhausted, so numb, but also in pain, so disconnected, yet everything makes me sad. It feels like my mental health is just a card castle, where to take a card and fix one problem, I must first take the cards above it so it doesnt fall apart, but the cards at the right top are far out of my reach...
I seriously don't know what to do. Why doesn't life come with a manual? Why is there no tutorial lol? Where do I find people who are willing to hold my hand throught this messed up world? To drag me forward where I don't have the energy to drag myself... Do people like this even exist??
