Coping with attention

[defqonner]

I broke up with my girlfriend 5 months ago. I had ALOT of support and I was constantly talking to all different people and making new friends to alleviate the void of not talking to one person about everything, everyday.

Over the course of the five months I slowly stopped talking about my problems and mental health relating as I didn't want to bore people or make them sick of talking to me.

It has reached a point now that I can't talk to anyone about my problems (except my parents) anymore. As I have basically told everyone that I am fine now.

But, after a year and a half of constant attention, to 5 months of constant attention from friends, its all slowly fading and my mental health problems have started to begin again and I can't talk to anyone my age. I feel like I am going through withdrawal symptoms.

My problems come from university stress, going overseas for 6 months, I suppose my break up, work and money. I always feel like I need to talk to someone.

Do you need to talk to someone your own age?
I mean, yeah you have friends who supported you during that time, and they seem to be able to help, and maybe they can again. But maybe they have stuff in their own lives going on to? Idk, just thinking, maybe a counselor to talk to?
Yeah I know nobody likes that kinda situation bit if your open to it, trully open to it, a lota good can come outa it

They may not be your age but....

You can always talk it out here right. Don't forget, we are your friends too. :)
