My mental health isn't good, need help.
I have anxiety, and low self esteem. I struggle socially. I don't have any close friends. I can't handle my emotions. I was prescribed an anti depressant by a psychiatrist last year, but it wasn't helpful, so I stopped taking those. I find it hard to work, study, etc. Even the simplest tasks feel so overwhelming. I lose track of time sometimes, and I'm very bad with habits. I get distracted easily. This is taking a toll on me. I'm emotionly very distant with everyone, maybe my fear of rejection. What should I do?
