Downward Spiral

I'm falling into a downward spiral and I don't know how to get out of it. I'm over stressed, dissociative, moody and so tired. I feel like I'm heading for a breakdown. How can I stop this? I'm scared everyone around me is getting tired of me and will leave soon.
 
1st of all, what is stressing you out at the moment? Is it somebody, college, where your living or your job? This could be making you feel worst than you normally do. If that's not it have you just come to the point where you're emotionally exhausted?
 
I relate to a lot of these feelings, including nobody can help me because I'm too exhausting...really has felt like nervous breakdown in recent weeks and days. I don't want to burn out my therapist or my tiny few close friends. I feel like a vortex of negativity. I'm getting some hormone stuff hopefully tweaked. But also, I'm just hiding out a lot in the tiniest room of my house and not beating myself up for not doing more important things. It's been hard to de-stress, like my body won't slow down. I slept better last night, which helps. I don't probably have an answer since I'm looking for one myself, but I know this is a whole body-system chaos right now (my body feels like it's meeting an oncoming truck for most of the day). So treating my body with what can at least help it, like rest if I can, exercise, eating well, low sugar. I hope it passes...my awareness is at least helping me make okay decisions vs self-destruct, like it has allowed you to post and talk about where you are at and not being okay with it. I know it feels horrible. Hang in there, keep posting, take good care of yourself.
