mental health, feeling sorry for myself
I've been denying that I've feeling crap for months. I have a lot to be thankful for, but there has just been this naggling feeling that something isn't right.I haven't seen my psych since last year because it's expensive and all that's really happened is that they have told me to do this self-compassion workbook that I keep putting off.
Things are going well for the most part. I'm almost done with uni after what feels like an eternity, I have a supportive family and partner. But I also have a crippling anxiety problem, can barely take care of myself, not much social contact beyond my boardgames group and my friends on the other side of the world, no job lined up for next year, lots of doubt about my future and uncertainty about if I'm actually capable of doing this career.
All I can do is try. Resilience.
You can feel like crap while still acknowledging what you have - both things can be true. Since you know what your psych would suggest, do you think the workbook would help?
Just keep trying, every day. Your self awareness is awesome, you are capable, you can do this.
I think it will. Thank you :)

It’s ok. Life has ups and downs. Give yourself a high five for showing up even though you have difficulties. You are winning. If the career works out for long time or only a short time, it’s fine. It’s a life experience. Most people change several careers in their lives. Hopefully the psych advice helps things. If you can find a good GP sometimes they can be helpful in anxiety treatments too.
Thank you :)
