I don’t know what to do.
I can’t seem to help my friends or myself.
I’m looking for a distraction that is not negative, but it is so hard.
I just want to cry and not be alone.

Hey @fiji, I’m glad you came here to share this
Firstly I just want to say that it’s okay to feel everything you’re feeling. We’re not only valuable when we’re able to help our friends, or even ourselves - even at our worst, we matter, and how we feel matters.
I’m familiar with that feeling of being overwhelmed, and I’ve come up with a few ways of coping. Maybe they’ll help you too I like to type out everything I’m thinking into a Word document so I can get my thoughts out, or listen to music (playing music is great too, or singing, even humming), reading a book, putting on a show or a movie you like, or my favourite - going on a slow walk. The most important thing is that you put as much energy as you can into exactly what you’re doing, right now. I try to remind myself that the future isn’t here yet, and that I can deal with that when it comes.
And in case you need to hear this: There’s also nothing wrong with feeling like you need to cry. Sometimes letting yourself really feel what you need to feel can be a really important and really cathartic.
I hope some of this helps. If none of that resonates, let me know. We’ll figure out something. If you’d like, we could talk about what’s happening in your life right now too Getting it all out can be very helpful, and maybe we could offer some more specific support.
Good luck friend, thank you for sharing with us
