I feel so Guilty that i’ve had a breakdown and its affected my friends and family. In ways I couldn’t have foreseen or planned for.
I know I shouldn’t. I know i’m unwell and will get better but it doesn’t stop the guilt.
Friends and family have been brilliant and supportive, So huge thank you to them.
Others have distanced themselves or disappeared completely. Some I think just don’t know how to react or feel i’m pulling them down. My Moods can change at the drop of the hat, but is a lot better now my new meds have started working. Hopefully will start connecting and building friendships back up.
Slow small steps but any progress is good.
This song from Matchbox twenty suits me, “I’m not crazy, I’m just a little unwell”
No, no, no – no guilt – what a strong person you are to be coming out the other side of an awful situation. you have nothing to be guilty about. Would you think a friend should feel guilty if they had a breakdown, or one of the family? I know the guilt is part of the anxiety but remember my words – no guilt! x
