Overhelmed - need help

Hi everyone,
I’m reaching out because I’m feeling overwhelmed and could use some advice or support. I’ve been dealing with constant anxiety and stress, and I never seem to feel truly safe, happy, or okay. My mind is always racing with worries and negative thoughts, especially when I perceive negative comments or situations.
My past experiences have been really challenging. I was subjected to severe bullying during my childhood, which has left deep emotional scars. The pain from those experiences still affects me today and contributes to my current struggles. Additionally, I had high hopes of becoming a doctor but changed my path to engineering after realising it wasn’t my passion. Now, I feel like I’m not respected for these decisions, and I’m struggling to talk about my feelings openly. I’m also worried about how others will perceive me if I share too much, and I can’t afford therapy right now.
I find small moments of relief, like playing football, but they’re temporary and don’t fully address how I’m feeling. I don’t feel like I can confide in friends or family, as they either don’t understand or aren’t open to discussing emotions.
I’m looking for advice on how to manage these feelings.
Thank you for any help or guidance you can provide.
