Anxiety all times

I am distracted and devastated since afew months and i can t stand it anymore. I attempted to find a way to escape but all doors are closed and there seems to be no way. Is there a hope ?

  1. I can tell by how you describe what you're going through that things seem so hopeless and you are in a lot of pain. I hope the words of others living with HIV can help you see that there is hope for a better life ahead.


    Here are two articles where people reflect on times they felt as you do now. They wrote these for people like you to read, to know that a better future is possible:


    "It's OK to not be OK" https://h-i-v.net/?p=2485
    " I found myself feeling like I was at a breaking point. My mind was in a constant state of running rampant. I was feeling out of touch with who I was and questioning nearly every decision. So I found myself calling the number I’ve had in my phone for years, in case the pressure of all of the things I felt so responsible for became too heavy. I was afraid that I would be judged. It is an incredibly intimidating thought to be open and honest with a stranger, but I see now how freeing it was to say aloud that I’m not ok."


    "You are Not Alone" https://h-i-v.net/?p=6239
    "I started thinking that I was never going to be confident in myself and what I had to offer the world if I stayed stuck in this mental state that I was in... I wanted to share this small glimpse of my past with you all because we all have moments of weakness. We all have moments when we might feel alone."

    I am going to DM you again to see if any of the resources I sent were useful to you. How are you feeling this morning? - Liz (Team Member)

    1. Those words doesn't help me as reality has nothing to do with words and since i am all alone, that make situtation even more complicated, i can t take it amymore....... I appreacite your try of help but in vain. All links and attempts does not help me.

      1. I hope you know that you are not alone. You have a community here who you can speak too. How are you feeling today? - Steven (Team Member)

    2. Not good as those feelings dominant me all times

      1. That is understandable. How was your weekend? Was there any highlight? - Steven (Team Member)

    3. Alafia (Peace) I am so sorry your circumstances have not changed. I know it continues to frustrating you and creating a sense of being stuck and trapped. We hope you continue to hang in and try to stay strong. Khafre (H-I-V.net Team Member)
