Those around me must suspect/know I have mental health issues but whenever I try to explain it they just don't understand. I appreciate I am not the most coherent of people but is there any resources out there that could help explain to them, YouTube videos or webpages (none of them will bother getting/reading a book so those are out). Specifically anxiety and depression and the fact that things like change are difficult.
I just feel so isolated and like everything is my fault and I get absolutely brilliant support from the GP and from the health services but in real life I feel so lost and I never want to mention it even to those closest to me because they just turn it back on me and say it's all my fault and I do have a choice and I'm doing these things not so much on purpose but I could easily stop doing them. Apologies for severe lack of punctuation in that last sentence.
