Struggling with Mental Health and Isolation

life's been hard. i (barely) finished school almost a year ago, i quit my job about a month ago. you would think having all the free time in the world would open up so many opportunities but instead i'm just getting worse. sleep schedule is shit, eating is shit, getting out of bed is shit. i have companions, i have family, but i just keep withdrawing because almost everyone either annoys me or i'm a burden on them. i can't think about a future, i feel like i'm genuinely too sick in the head to function in the real world. my moneys running out and i just wanna go out and buy some drugs...ive been clean since september 2020 with only 2 relapses since if that goes to show how bad it is. i'm at a loss. how am i supposed to live if i can't function in the outside world, or within the confines of my own head?

Honestly I been feeling the same but something that has been helping me is finding a reason to care, ie. I have recently joined a weekly theater group though I struggle with all other aspects of live I still have one day of the week I can look forward to. I don’t know where you stand on the introvert extrovert spectrum but finding a social activity like that may help. And that doesn’t have to be a job because then it’s a chore and they don’t really help with this kind if stuff. Hope this somewhat helped sorry if it didn’t.

Personally, being in therapy and having a psychiatrist has really helped me and saved my life multiple times. I'm wondering what your thoughts are on seeing a therapist and/or a psychiatrist? It sounds like you're really struggling right now and you deserve to have a support system who knows about what you're going through and will help you through it ❤️
