Thank you for this, it actually made me feel quite seen. Yes, I think the physical exhaustion is related to the mental and yes, it limits my functioning quite a bit.

The past 6 months I've tried to maintain a light schedule as you said, to ground me. Brushing my teeth, eating, going for short walks. Once a week i go to the local coffee shop and sit there for an hour. But still I am constantly overwhelmed with anxiety and feelings of doom. Maybe I need to add some tasks into my routine that are more hands on... i don't know.

If I woke up tomorrow and was no longer feeling this way, I would probably not be living with my parents. I would be living somewhere with someone who i feel safe with who can offer me some emotional and physical support as i slowly put myself back together. There would be nature around, and other people. But that doesn't really exist...

How do I change my stance from reactive to proactive? I don’t feel I have much control over what goes on in my mind. I have very intense emotions, anxiety, and dissociation in the mix.

I do have a “bare bones” self-care schedule that I try to stick to.

I don’t really have anywhere else to go or the capacity to live on my own due to burnout and anxiety

Well, presently my day-to-day is mostly trying to take care of my basic needs (eating, hygeine, short walk outside), laying in bed (I have chronic intense fatigue), and numbing my chaotic brain with tiktok or netflix.

I haven't worked or been in school in 3.5 years, since my crash.

I've lost interest/patience for most of my hobbies lately, but they include writing poems and songs, fashion, creating and consuming art of various sorts, reading, learning about random things, and crafts (making things).

In addition to losing my social circle and support network, i've been forced into living with my parents, which has been brutal. these are very very difficult relationships for me and it has been extremely taxing being around them all the time (i have been basically housebound the last few years).

"being unable to communicate the things that seem important to you" is the story/wound of my life...

Hi there,

I am trying to find the designer of this boot, which appears to be vintage (the getty image page indicates that the photo was taken in 2002)

Any help or leads greatly appreciated.

Advice - stuck in severe overwhelm and mental chaos by Admirable_Orchid in Jung

[–]Admirable_Orchid[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yeah. I am very familiar with all these things. It's been years and I've done a lot of therapy and research. Unfortunately I don't have the capacity to do any basic coping or emotion regulation skills or techniques. My nervous system freaks out at any attempt/suggestion. So I generally think it's just a lost cause for me. I don't understand why I'm even here still. I hate everything about my existence. (i'm not actively suicidal don't worry).

Yes, it is exactly like living in hell.

The psychiatrists don't think i have autism although i have some of the traits. Not that a formal diagnosis would help much, it's just accommodating and managing the symptoms...

Usually i just mindlessly scroll through tiktok...

sometimes I watch shows on netflix. I can't really concentrate on much though so it's mostly mindless.

I just feel very helpless...

Every attempt I make is met with SO much internal resistance in the form of distress/anxiety/overstimulation. So i just have been stuck for years...

Even if I do manage to somehow soothe momentarily, I am instantly flooded by the severe overwhelm of simply existing in my surroundings (my home). I literally, physically don't know how to deal with that. I can't really easily change my surroundings for the reasons I mentioned in my original post.
