in Mamas with depression, anxiety, and other mental health disorders

Help or insight needed

I can’t seem to text people back consistently. I start a conversation and then after a while, it’s like it almost makes me angry and super anxious to have to respond to anyone. I usually only start the conversation to combat these feelings of anxiety and frustration over responding to people or completing tasks, but it makes it worse. Then I don’t respond for months sometimes because I can’t mentally or emotionally bring myself to. I’ve tried setting limits and making routines and it doesn’t help me. I’ve tried talking to professionals, and they tell me it’s okay but it’s not because I’ve lost almost all my friends and support because of this. I don’t know what’s wrong with me.

Show your support

I just want to say, you’re not alone. It takes sooooo much energy for me to get back to people and I don’t know why either. I don’t have really any advice but I can say it’s not just you and you are heard/seen. 🫶🏽

Hey girl. PM me and I’ll send you my number and you can call me and we can talk about it and see if we can figure it out. The fact you’re aware of it and it is affecting life in a negative way for you shows it’s not okay. You are not alone in your feelings, of that you can be sure. But it definitely doesn’t mean it’s normal by any means and I’d love to help you work through this and see if you can get to a breakthrough. (Sorry… counselor side of me coming out here. But I want you to know someone cares, is in your corner, and wants to offer help to overcoming whatever it is. :) *hugs*)

I've been there girl. Somehow I got out of it. Maybe talk therapy helped? Either way, i understand how much energy it takes to engage with people sometimes

If I'm going to be honest your post stayed on my phone for the last 5 hours because I feel this in me, but I guess I wanted to let you know same, no shame from me and message me if you want a super awkward conversation that holds absolutely no pressure to respond to.
