Just seeing all these posts has given me the courage to write this. I feel like I have no one to turn to when I get like this. I've suffered from severe depression and anxiety in the past, and things have been much better in the last 6 or so months, but recently I've been feeling horrible again. I can't stop crying, I keep having panic attacks, I don't want to go out of the house, or see anyone. It's no wonder that I haven't got any friends here. I'm constantly alone, which is usually okay because I have a lot of work to do, but recently I've been feeling really lonely, literally alone all the time. I have majorly irrational fears, like if I don't put a cigarette out properly, it will burn the house down, and I have to keep checking to see if I've locked or closed a door properly, stuff like that. I also have mild OCD so my feeling down is probably just exacerbating that. Thing is, I keep telling myself that what I'm thinking is irrational, but I can't control it. I went into town today and was constantly aware of how disgusting I am, how bad I looked, how nobody would want to speak to me. I didn't meet anyone's eyes and barely spoke two words to cashiers. Generally, I'm not usually like this, I just have no idea why it's hit me again so hard. I was even afraid to post this, in case people judge me for it :/ I know others are having a really tough time atm so I'm sorry for whinging.
