You tried to talk to friends or a family member, with no success. You find yourself escaping on your phone or even binge-watching a series. Replaying scenarios in your mind about the past and future. You feel overwhelmed and avoid situations that remind you of your struggles. Physically and mentally you feel exhausted.
But you just can’t figure out exactly what is wrong.
You might feel like things are never going to get better. You catch yourself thinking things like:
