My parents have officially told me that I am overwhelming them. I am constantly overwhelmed by myself, and have no idea why I get so upset all the time. But my mom turning around and yelling that she does get being overwhelmed all the time because it is me who overwhelms her constantly. I fear that no matter how hard I try to shut up and close up. I will only ever continue to push people away and make people despise me. I have spent my entire life even as a child trying to be quiet. Keep to myself. And over all just leave people alone. But I feel awful when I stay quiet. It has gotten to a point where everyone tells me I just overwhelm them. I am trying my best. I move out on my own in January. I am sure everyone will ghost me afterwards. I am terrified. Living on my own always fails. But ah..it's gotten to a point where I am being asked to leave my job because I cry to much. This is like the third time this has happened. I am trying so hard to keep myself together. But I am failing horribly at being a functioning member of society. I also can't afford to get help or get on insurance as I already live paycheck to paycheck. I am filled with dread but trying so hard to get up and keep going everyday. I promise.

Look at the things that cause a meltdown and try to figure out why they’re causing you to meltdown. Understanding the reasons of your emotional reactions is incredibly important because you can begin to reason with yourself about why they’re happening, which gives you better control over them. If you are terrified of customers and hate talking to them, let’s say, because you think you’re embarrassing yourself, remember that all people are embarrassing and if someone judges you, it’s because THEY are the gross ones 🤢 not you. Gross people are super judgmental and their opinions are invalid. That’s just an example though and idk what might cause your emotional states. But one thing is important, don’t lie to yourself about the subject. Don’t say “I’m not embarrassing” when you think you are because your brain can’t believe that. Say something that your brain can believe. Let’s work on the triggers and desensitize them :)

Is there an option for free healthcare through the government? I know the US has that for low income households
@NonbinarySlytherin Also in the US there is a resource called 211 they can help you with resources in your area
I genuinely feel for you. Having that overwhelming pressure of not knowing how you impact other people. I hate it too. It feels as if relationships are on the edge, as if if I say something, it won’t be the same. I wish I knew the last time I made a genuine connection with someone that I felt later on was severed be of my own existence.

@NyQuill I feel this so much right now. Neither of you are alone.
there are therapists that work on a sliding scale. please look into that and other options for counselling and medication for people living in poverty/paycheck to paycheck
