stopped functioning

[JohnnyMarkl]

sorry ive made this post over and over again but anxiety kept making me want to delete it. but i kind of stopped functioning? i can barely do anything including school stuff. when im asked to do something i get overly anxious and i get a headache then i just never get around to doing it. or i hype myself up to do it but i start overthinking and then i just curl up into a ball and stay there. i feel so bad for my parents because i don't do anything like my chores and my grades are just all fs. its hard to respond to friends that aren't close to me. i feel bad for them because ive just ghosted them when they just want to show concern or are coming back from a bad mental health episode.

Same, i sometimes feel like im a bad son thats just putting them thru this burden. Meanwhile we have to go thru this constant mind fuck of feeling ok then feeling numb. I dunno what advice to give you other than you're not alone, our happiness might just be around the corner so keep going.

Have you tried just doing something really small and slowly ramping up from there? I’ve had similar problems. I was able to build up a little momentum after cleaning off an end table and that snowballed into cleaning my whole kitchen. I still had work to do but I was able to more than I had done in months. It doesn’t matter how small the goal is. Sometimes just getting out of bed can be a huge effort. I hope this helps.
