What you’re describing reminds me a lot of where I found myself a few years back.

It helped me unpack all the jumble in my mind and offer some clarity.
I also want to emphasize that it’s completely okay to feel isolated in this. Mental health can often feel like a solitary journey, even when we know others are struggling too. It’s this paradox that can be tough to navigate. Sharing your experiences, like you’re doing here, is a big part of breaking that isolation.
If you’re open to it, maybe consider connecting with a support group. Sometimes just being around others who get it can make a world of difference. And remember, it’s perfectly okay to have days where you feel like progress isn’t happening. Those moments don’t define your journey. What matters is that you’re taking steps, however small, toward feeling better.
I’m rooting for you and hope you find some peace amidst the struggle.
