Feeling worn out

I feel my self-esteem is going down again, and everything is getting to me emotionally and mentally. I'm becoming a bit paranoid and constantly worried that the worst is going to happen. I have fears about losing people, especially in relationships and friendships, and I have a deep fear of becoming alone. I feel inferior compared to everyone and find it impossible not to compare myself to others. I’ve been feeling so overwhelmed that it's affecting my sleep, and I’ve been having nightmares involving distressing or negative situations. It’s on my mind to the point where I'm having bad dreams, which isn’t fun. I get paranoid when I see the police near my house or while I’m driving. Even though I’m not doing anything illegal, I still worry they’ve been to my house or are going to pull me over for no reason, like what happened the other day. I feel like I’ve been exposed to one negative thing after another lately. I’m bored, stressed, overwhelmed, and feel stuck. I know there’s a pathway forward, but it’s been so tough with the ongoing negativity and lack of routine, and I feel like what I can do is limited.

I’m sorry you’re feeling exhausted, that sounds extremely difficult to contend with. It’s okay to have low days and it’s okay to feel more emotional one day than the other
Is there anything that you can do to relax or do to support you without others bothering you, your time and space
Thanks again @Rose113 coming around on the community helps to relax
