You are in emotional pain and you are stuck. Maybe there are times when the emotional pain is less but it has not been going away. This moment right now is a chance to start changing this and ultimately to get relief. Many people experience a mix of low mood, anxiety, self-critical thoughts, addictions (whether they seem mild like one too many coffees or something that causes more problems for you like pornography or heavier drugs) and so on. Your difficulties might have been hard to pin down and you are confused about who to talk to or even how you could be helped.
